Qyuns Therapeutics Co., Ltd. ("Qyuns" or the "Company", stock code: 2509.HK) is pleased to announce that on December 8, 2025, the Company received a milestone payment of US$ 5 million from its partner, Caldera Therapeutics, Inc. (“Caldera”), which was triggered by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval obtained for the Phase I clinical trial of QX030N/CLD-423 (Caldera research code)
Recently, QX030N/CLD-423, a bispecific antibody independently discovered by the Company, received approval from the HREC in Australia, and is scheduled to commence clinical trial in early 2026. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and dose escalating Phase I clinical study. Its primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple intravenous (IV) and/or subcutaneous (SC) doses of QX030N/CLD-423 in healthy adults.
The approval marks the official entry of the Company’s bispecific antibody portfolio into the clinical stage overseas, which will further strengthen the Company’s leading position in the field of autoimmune and allergic diseases. The Company and Caldera will also accelerate the development pace of this project to achieve further clinical progress as soon as possible.
On April 23, 2025, the Company and Caldera entered into an out-license agreement, pursuant to which Caldera was granted an exclusive right to develop and commercialize QX030N/CLD-423 globally. As of December 8, 2025, the Company has received upfront payment and milestone payment of US$15 million in aggregate, and certain equity interest in Caldera. In the future, the Company may also receive additional payments of up to US$540 million, subject to the achievement of certain clinical development, regulatory and commercial milestones, and may receive tiered royalties on net sales of QX030N/CLD-423.
