In­no­Care bags Chi­nese rights to In­cyte CAR-T ri­val Mon­ju­vi in bid to ex­pand in-house pipeline

Mer­ck vet­er­an Jas­mine Cui has turned Bei­jing-based In­no­Care in­to a $4 bil­lion com­pa­ny large­ly on the strength of a sin­gle BTK in­hibitor and a clutch of ear­li­er stage as­sets.

But on Tues­day, the biotech ex­pand­ed its pipeline, strik­ing a deal with In­cyte for the Delaware biotech’s new­ly US-ap­proved CD-19 an­ti­body Mon­ju­vi. Un­der the agree­ment, In­no­Care will pay In­cyte $35 mil­lion and promise $82.5 mil­lion in mile­stones for rights to mar­ket the can­cer drug in Chi­na and its sur­round­ing re­gions.
