I-Mab to Concentrate on Five Clinical-Stage Candidates, Will Out-license International Rights

On August 30, 2022 I-Mab reported that it would concentrate its drug development efforts on five key candidates, for which it will seek international partners once the candidates show Phase I or II proof of concept (Press release, I-Mab Biopharma, AUG 30, 2022, View Source [SID1234618928]). It plans to out-license ex-China rights, while retaining China rights, though it will also partner commercialization in China to avoid the cost of building a sales force. The detailed presentation of the company’s assets seems an oblique denial that I-Mab is seeking to sell the entire company, a possibility raised in recent press reports. I-Mab pointed out that it has almost $600 million in cash, enough to support three years of operations.
