🔎 Fund Overview

Connect Biopharma Holdings Limited is a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases through the development of therapies derived from T cell-driven research. It is building a pipeline of proprietary small molecules and antibodies, using functional T cell assays, to screen and discover potent product candidates against validated immune targets. Its lead product candidate, rademikibart, is an antibody designed to target interleukin-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα) in development for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. As an inhibitor of IL-4Rα, rademikibart blocks inflammatory signaling by both IL-4 and IL-13. Its second product candidate, icanbelimod, is a modulator of S1P1 T cell receptors and is in development for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Icanbelimod is an orally available, small molecule modulator of S1P1 that is designed to reduce inflammation without killing T cells.
