Accelerating Globalization with Transformative Deals In 2025, InnoCare accelerated the implementation of its globalization strategy, unlocking global value of its core pipeline with two out-licensing deals, further enhancing the Company's global influence and financial performance, and marking a significant step forward in its global expansion. On Oct. 8, InnoCare entered into a transformative licensing agreement with Zenas for its autoimmune disease pipeline, including orelabrutinib. The agreement includes up to US$100 million in upfront and near-term milestone payments, and up to 7,000,000 shares of Zenas common stock, with a total deal value exceeding US$ 2 billion, setting a new record for small molecule autoimmune out-licensing in China. This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone in InnoCare's globalization journey and will leverage shared focus to accelerate the global Phase III clinical development of orelabrutinib for the treatment of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), maximizing its clinical and commercial value worldwide, and advance a novel oral IL-17 AA/AF inhibitor and a brain-penetrant oral TYK2 inhibitor into clinical trials. In addition, InnoCare entered into a licensing agreement with Prolium to further its global presence in 2025. In March 2026, Prolium announced first dosing of healthy volunteers in an ongoing single ascending dose study of ICP-B02 (PRO-203) and expects to initiate a multinational Phase I/II study of ICP-B02 in systemic sclerosis (SSc) in the second quarter of 2026, with additional studies in B-cell-driven autoimmune disease expected to follow.
