科望医药“三闯”港交所 两款核心肿瘤产品靠引进
Mei Ri Jing Ji Xin Wen· 2025-12-11 12:39
近期,科望医药第三次向港交所递交了上市申请。 这家成立于PD-1(免疫抑制分子)研发热潮中的公司,从创立之初便讲述了一个关于"解决PD-1无效难 题"的前沿故事:它避开了拥挤的T细胞(通常指T淋巴细胞,是一类免疫系统中的白细胞,是机体免疫应 答功能的重要组成部分)赛道,转而押注于巨噬细胞衔接器平台和OX40(肿瘤坏死因子受体TNFR家族的 成员)等新兴靶点,并成功吸引了安斯泰来等巨头企业的合作。 不过,科望医药光鲜技术叙事的另一面是:公司两款核心肿瘤产品均依赖外部引进,背负着未来可能高 达数亿美元的里程碑付款;在尚无产品上市的情况下,其累计亏损已超18亿元,截至递表前,其账上现 金余额不足亿元。 《每日经济新闻》记者注意到,就在此次递表前,科望医药创始人之一的职位出现大变动,今后仅对公 司相关事务进行建议和协助,这也令公司此次IPO(首次公开募股)增加了更多变数。 平台合作:期内唯一收入 科望医药成立于2017年。彼时,各大药企对PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂的研发热情高涨。科望医药从创立之初 就瞄准了一个行业关键难题:如何解决那些对现有PD-1/PD-L1疗法无效或耐药的患者需求。 这一战略定位源于其两位创始人 ...
现金告急、管线存疑、估值承压:科望医药三闯港交所背后
Xin Lang Cai Jing· 2025-12-05 10:14
科望医药正面临严峻的资金链考验。截至2024年末,公司现金及现金等价物仅余3282万元,较上年同期 的2.7亿元骤降88%。即便在维持现有研发规模的情况下,这笔资金也远远不足以覆盖持续运营需求。 招股书显示,公司2024年研发成本达1.17亿元,经营活动现金持续净流出。 更令人担忧的是其债务结构。由于可转换可赎回优先股被计入负债,截至2024年末,公司净负债额高达 27.38亿元。这些优先股附有强制赎回条款——若未能在约定日期前完成IPO,公司需按发行价加8%年 化单利赎回,构成潜在的巨额现金支出压力。 为缓解资金压力,科望医药已采取"断臂求生"措施,包括转让生产设施、精简团队、削减研发项目等, 但仍未扭转局面。此次IPO募资明确将用于"研发推进、技术平台优化及补充营运资金",凸显其"输血续 命"的迫切性。 港交所信息显示,临床阶段生物医药企业科望医药已于2025年11月27日第三次向港交所主板递交上市申 请。这家成立8年、累计亏损超20亿元的创新药企,在现金仅能支撑3个月研发的紧迫局面下,再次向资 本市场发起冲刺。其背后虽站着礼来亚洲基金、高瓴、腾讯等明星投资机构,但重重风险已难以掩盖。 资金困境:3300 ...
