Description

Connect Biopharma Holdings Limited is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering and advancing immune modulators. Its primary objective is to develop treatments for serious autoimmune diseases and various inflammatory conditions. The company's lead investigational therapy is CBP-201, an anti-interleukin-4 receptor alpha antibody. This candidate is currently in Phase IIb clinical trials, targeting inflammatory allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Additionally, Connect Biopharma's pipeline includes CBP-307, a small molecule designed to modulate sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1. This receptor plays a crucial role in regulating T cell movement from lymph nodes into the bloodstream. CBP-307 is in Phase II development for treating autoimmune-related inflammatory disorders. Another preclinical-stage asset, CBP-174, is an orally administered small molecule histamine receptor 3 antagonist, being investigated for chronic pruritus (itch) associated with skin inflammation. The portfolio also features CBP-233, a humanized antibody in preclinical development that targets interleukin-33, a cytokine recognized for its involvement in T helper 2 inflammation. Established in 2012, the company maintains its headquarters in Taicang, China.
