Mabwell Announces IND Application Acceptance for CDH17-Targeting ADC 7MW4911 from Both NMPA and FDA

SHANGHAI, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Mabwell (688062.SH), an innovative biopharmaceutical company with entire industry chain, announced that its proprietary CDH17-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), 7MW4911, has received Investigational New Drug (IND) application acceptance from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and an IND Acknowledgement Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

7MW4911 is an investigational CDH17-targeting ADC developed using Mabwell’s proprietary IDDC™ platform. Its highly optimized structure integrates three key elements:

  • Mab0727: A highly specific CDH17 monoclonal antibody with rapid internalization properties, cross-species (human/monkey) moderate affinity, and minimal off-target binding.
  • Novel cleavable linker: Ensures precise payload release in tumor tissues.
  • MF-6 payload: A proprietary DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor designed to overcome multidrug resistance (MDR), exhibiting superior plasma stability, controlled drug release, and potent bystander effects.

In July 2025, Mabwell published preclinical data in Cell Reports Medicine (“Overcoming multidrug resistance in gastrointestinal cancers with a CDH17-targeted ADC conjugated to a DNA topoisomerase inhibitor”), demonstrating 7MW4911’s tumor-selective cytotoxicity via CDH17-mediated internalization. Key advantages include:

  • Optimized molecular design: Homogeneous drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR=4, >95%) and stable linker confer exceptional plasma stability, while membrane-permeable MF-6 drives potent bystander killing.
  • Broad Antitumor Efficacy: Demonstrates robust tumor regression in colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancer PDX/CDX models, including tumors with RAS/BRAF mutations and diverse Consensus Molecular Subtypes (CMS).
  • MDR resistance: Outperforms MMAE/DXd-based ADCs in ABC transporter-mediated MDR models and reverses tumor progression post-ADC treatment.
  • Target versatility: Active even in tumors with low-to-moderate CDH17 expression, expanding potential patient eligibility.
  • Favorable safety profile: Limited tissue distribution in mice, controllable pharmacokinetics (moderate half-life, no accumulation), and a wide therapeutic window in cynomolgus monkeys, with no significant toxicity signals.

With this profile, 7MW4911 emerges as a promising therapeutic candidate for advanced gastrointestinal cancers.

About CDH17

CDH17 is a pan-cancer validated target with restricted expression in normal intestinal epithelium but marked overexpression in gastrointestinal cancers (e.g., colorectal, gastric, pancreatic). Its aberrant expression correlates with tumor metastasis and poor prognosis, positioning it as an ideal therapeutic target.

Everest will invest US$30.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$242.6 million) in cash in I-Mab. Inclusive of I-MAB shares already held by Everest, the pro forma ownership will be 16.1%.

I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB receptor targeting platform and bispecific antibody pipeline are highly complementary with the Company’s existing mRNA cancer vaccines and in vivo CAR-T platform.

Complementary and synergistic clinical development and business development platforms, especially I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities, particularly in the U.S., and Everest’s clinical capabilities in Asia, could help accelerate the development and global expansion of pipeline products for both companies.

–  New investors in this offering also include Janus Henderson Investors, Adage Capital Partners LP, Woodline Partners, and Exome Asset Management

“This strategic equity investment furthers our plan to be an active player in next-generation oncology programs across global markets. Everest and its Board of Directors believe this investment recognizes I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities in the U.S., which are complementary and synergistic with the Company’s strong Asia presence,” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “As a biotech pioneer in China, Everest has built internally developed pipeline assets including mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccines and in vivo CAR-T therapies targeting cancer and autoimmune diseases. Our areas of focus meaningfully intersect with I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB platform and bispecific antibody pipeline, including oncology candidates Givastomig (Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody) and Ragistomig (PD-L1 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody), both promising programs that we are closely watching. Furthermore, both companies may be able to leverage their combined expertise to run clinical programs in both China and the U.S. Everest is proud to develop innovative and valuable therapies that can benefit cancer patients globally.”

Financial Terms and Corporate Updates:

I-Mab today announced an underwritten offering of 33,333,334 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”) representing 76,666,668 ordinary shares at an offering price of $1.95 per ADS, for total gross proceeds of approximately US$65 million. Under the arrangement of this offering, Everest will subscribe for 15,846,154 ADSs (the “Subscription”), with an aggregate consideration of US$30.9 million. Upon completion of the Subscription, the Company shall hold an aggregate of 15,846,154 ADSs and 6,078,571 ordinary shares, representing approximately 16.1% of the total issued share capital of I-Mab, inclusive of 6,078,571 ordinary shares already held by Everest.

As all of the applicable percentage ratios of the Subscription are less than 5%, the Subscription is not subject to the announcement or shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The investment in I-Mab shares is expected to be booked as “investments” under non-current assets on Everest’s balance sheet. Changes from “mark-to-market” are expected to be reflected in fair value through other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity and the investment has no impact on the Company’s P/L statement and will not appear as an operating expense.

About I-Mab

I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) is a U.S.-based, global biotech company, focused on the development of precision immuno-oncology agents for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s differentiated pipeline is led by givastomig, a potential best-in-class, bispecific antibody (Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB) designed to treat Claudin 18.2-positive gastric cancers. Givastomig conditionally activates T cells via the 4-1BB signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment where Claudin 18.2 is expressed. Givastomig is being developed for first line metastatic gastric cancers, with additional potential in other solid tumors. In ongoing Phase 1 trials, givastomig has been observed to maintain strong tumor-binding and anti-tumor activity, attributable to a potential synergistic effect of proximal interaction with Claudin 18.2 and 4-1BB, while minimizing toxicities commonly seen with other 4-1BB agents.

Insta360 Integrates Strava with Stats Dashboard for Seamless Fitness Overlays

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360 today announced official Strava compatibility for its popular Stats Dashboard feature, giving cyclists and outdoor athletes a powerful new way to visualize real-time performance data directly within their videos.

What Is Insta360’s Stats Dashboard?

Offered as a built-in feature right within Insta360’s editing suite in the app, add real-time data overlays—like speed, incline, cadence, and heart rate—directly onto footage from some of Insta360’s best selling cameras, including the 360-capture X series, point-and-shoot Ace Pro 2, GO 3S, and more.

With Strava, one of the world’s most popular cycling and fitness tracking platforms, now acting as a universal data source, creators can automatically sync data from their Strava-connected devices (Apple Watch, Garmin, etc.) into the Insta360 app with just a few taps.

This update removes the need for manual file transfers or device-matching and opens the door for creators to bring a more dynamic, personalized element into their sports videos.

Benefits for Creators and Athletes

Hitting a group weekend ride or tracking your daily workouts with a twist, the Stats Dashboard with Strava support helps bring your footage to life.

Immersive storytelling shows precisly your effort, speed bursts, and elevation gain directly in videos.
Streamlined editing makes producing immersive, data-driven videos easier than ever, cutting edit time.
Audience engagement is higher than ever, as data-driven content typically performs better on social platforms and strengthens community connection.

Availability

Strava compatibility is now available to all users, so long as users have updated their Insta360 app to version v2.6.0 or above (iOS or Android). Try out this new integration today and share immersive shots seamlessly with your training community.
