WuXi Biologics, Sinorda Partner on Bispecific Antibody for IBD

WuXi Biologics , a leading global Contract Research, Development, and Manufacturing Organization (CRDMO), and Sinorda Biomedicine today jointly announced a strategic collaboration for the development and manufacturing of SND006, a novel bispecific antibody, for the potential treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other autoimmune diseases.

Under the agreement, Sinorda Biomedicine will leverage WuXi Biologics' extensive experience and manufacturing capabilities in biologics development and manufacturing to advance SND006's preclinical pharmacology studies and clinical supply, accelerating the Investigational New Drug (IND) application process. SND006 is an innovative bispecific antibody independently developed by Sinorda Biomedicine, for which the company holds worldwide rights. Sinorda Biomedicine has completed in vitro functional validation studies of SND006 and plans to submit IND applications to both the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2026. In the future, the two companies will further expand their collaboration around Sinorda Biomedicine's potential pipeline, including multiple integrated projects spanning from molecule discovery to clinical manufacturing.

Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, commented, "Over the past decade, we have accumulated experience across hundreds of projects in bispecific and multispecific antibodies, which have become one of our fastest‑growing areas. We are pleased to accelerate the development and manufacturing of Sinorda Biomedicine's innovative bispecific antibody SND006 through our integrated technology platforms and comprehensive capabilities. Looking ahead, we will continue accelerating and transforming biologics discovery, development and manufacturing to empower global partners and make innovative biologics more accessible and affordable for patients worldwide."

Dr. Pingsheng Hu, Chairman and General Manager of Sinorda Biomedicine, commented, "SND006 is a potentially best-in-class innovative bispecific antibody discovered and developed by Sinorda Biomedicine, with the potential to deliver breakthroughs in the treatment of gastrointestinal and multiple autoimmune diseases. WuXi Biologics is a global leader in CRDMO services, offering truly end‑to‑end solutions underpinned by accumulated know-how, comprehensive technology platforms, and a strong track record—particularly in the development and manufacturing of bispecific antibodies. We believe this collaboration will accelerate the IND filings of our innovative biologics in China and worldwide, address unmet medical needs in autoimmune diseases, and ultimately bring safe and effective therapies to patients."
