Key Terms

accelerated approval pathway, phase 3, phase 2a, bispecific antibody, +4 more
8 terms
accelerated approval pathway regulatory
"potential eligibility for FDA’s Accelerated Approval Pathway with potential initiation..."
The accelerated approval pathway is a process that allows new medicines to be approved more quickly based on early evidence that they may be effective, rather than waiting for full proof. This can help patients access promising treatments faster, but it also means ongoing studies are needed to confirm the benefits. For investors, it highlights potential faster market entry and earlier revenue opportunities, along with some uncertainty about long-term outcomes.
phase 3 medical
"potential initiation of a registrational Phase 3 trial as early as Q4 2026"
Phase 3 is the late-stage clinical testing step for a new drug or medical treatment, where the product is given to large groups of patients to confirm effectiveness, monitor side effects, and compare it to standard care. Successful Phase 3 results are often the final scientific hurdle before regulators decide on approval and market launch—like passing a final exam before graduation—and can sharply change a company's valuation and future revenue prospects.
phase 2a medical
"VIS-101 continues to advance in wet AMD following its successful Phase 2a readout..."
Phase 2a is an early stage in testing a new medical treatment or drug, where the main goal is to assess its safety and find the right dosage. For investors, this stage indicates whether the treatment shows initial promise before moving on to larger, more definitive studies; progress here can influence expectations for future development and potential success.
bispecific antibody medical
"a potential best-in-class... Claudin 18.2-directed bispecific antibody for gastric cancer"
A bispecific antibody is a specially designed protein that can attach to two different targets at the same time. Think of it as a custom-made connector that brings two things together—such as a disease cell and an immune system component—helping the body fight illnesses more effectively. For investors, understanding bispecific antibodies is important because they represent innovative therapies that could lead to new treatments and potentially lucrative market opportunities.
objective response rate medical
"Robust efficacy, with 75% objective response rate (n=52 evaluable subjects..."
The objective response rate (ORR) is the percentage of patients in a clinical trial whose tumors measurably shrink or disappear according to preset rules. Investors use it as a quick, objective signal of a drug’s ability to produce a clear treatment effect—like counting how many plants visibly respond after applying a new fertilizer—and higher ORR can improve odds of regulatory approval, commercial success, and company valuation.
progression free survival medical
"Durable responses with 16.9-month median progression free survival (n=53 evaluable..."
Progression free survival is the length of time during and after a treatment when a disease, such as cancer, does not get worse or spread. It is an important measure because longer periods of stability can indicate that a treatment is effectively controlling the condition. For investors, it provides insight into the potential durability and success of a therapy or medication.
vegf-a medical
"VIS-101, a dual purpose-designed VEGF-A X ANG-2 inhibitor, is being developed..."
VEGF-A is a naturally occurring protein that acts like a growth signal for new blood vessels, helping tissues develop or repair their blood supply. It matters to investors because many drugs and diagnostics target or measure VEGF-A to treat conditions such as cancers and eye diseases, so changes in clinical trial results, regulatory decisions, or new therapies related to VEGF-A can directly affect the value and prospects of companies developing those treatments.
ang-2 medical
"VIS-101, a dual purpose-designed VEGF-A X ANG-2 inhibitor, is being developed..."
Ang-2 (angiopoietin-2) is a naturally occurring protein that helps control how blood vessels form, grow and leak by acting like a thermostat for vessel stability. Investors care because changes in Ang-2 levels are used as a biomarker in drug development and disease diagnosis—affecting clinical trial outcomes, regulatory decisions, and the commercial potential of therapies targeting blood vessel-related conditions, much like a warning light that guides treatment strategy and market value.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $210.8 million. The Company’s current cash position is expected to support operations through 2028.

Shares Outstanding

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 265,377,891 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, representing the equivalent of 115,381,692 ADSs, assuming the conversion of all ordinary shares into ADSs.

Research & Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $62.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $21.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $41.1 million primarily attributable to the recognition of in-process R&D (IPR&D) expenses related to the acquisition of VIS-101 through the Visara transaction and the Bridge Health asset acquisition, partially offset by reimbursements recognized under an existing collaboration agreement with ABL Bio Inc. (ABL Bio) and lower employee benefit and compensation expenses resulting from a lower headcount.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were $31.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $29.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $1.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher employee share-based compensation expense related to the market and service-based awards, as well as an increased professional service expenses in the current period, partially offset by lower legal expenses and reduced employee benefit and compensation expenses resulting from a lower headcount. The employee share-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2024 included forfeitures in connection with the divestiture of our Greater China assets and business operations.

Interest Income

Interest income was $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to slightly higher average investable cash balances.

Other Income (Expenses), Net

Other expenses, net were $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $4.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the settlement of repurchase obligations associated with the TJ Biopharma redemptions in the prior period, smaller impacts from foreign exchange losses recognized in 2025, and recognition of an accumulated gain associated with the available-for-sale-debt securities, partially offset by the changes in the fair value and extinguishment of put-right liabilities, as well as fair value changes in our equity securities.

Equity in Loss of Affiliates

Equity in loss of affiliates was zero for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was driven by no further recognition of allocated losses from our unconsolidated investee, as the investee no longer qualified for equity method accounting

Net Loss from Continuing Operations

Net loss from continuing operations was $88.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $49.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net loss per share from continuing operations attributable to ordinary shareholders was $(0.21) for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $(0.27) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Gain (Loss) from Discontinued Operations

Net loss from discontinued operations was zero for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net gain of $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net Loss Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Net loss attributable to redeemable Noncontrolling Interests (“NCI”) was $42.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $0.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The loss represents the allocation of the operating losses incurred by our subsidiary Visara for the year ended December 31, 2025 to noncontrolling interests based on the liquidation preferences associated with the Series A Subscription Agreement. The allocation reduced the carrying value of the redeemable NCI to zero in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025. There was no noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Net Loss attributable to NovaBridge

Net loss attributable to NovaBridge was $46.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders was $(0.21) for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $(0.12) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

About Givastomig

Givastomig (TJ033721 / ABL111) is a bispecific CLDN 18.2 X 4-1BB antibody targeting Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-positive (CLDN 18.2+) tumor cells. It conditionally activates T cells through the 4-1BB signaling pathway in the tumor microenvironment where CLDN18.2 is expressed. Givastomig is being developed for potential treatment of gastric cancer and other Claudin 18.2+ gastrointestinal malignancies. In Phase 1 trials, givastomig has shown promising anti-tumor activity attributable to a potential synergistic effect of the proximal interaction between CLDN18.2 on tumor cells and 4-1BB on T cells in the tumor microenvironment, while minimizing toxicities commonly seen with other 4-1BB agents.

Givastomig is being jointly developed through a global partnership with ABL Bio, in which NovaBridge is the lead party and shares worldwide rights, excluding Greater China and South Korea, equally with ABL Bio.

About VIS-101

VIS-101 (also known as ASKG712 or AM712), purpose-designed to be best-in-class, is a dual VEGF-A X ANG-2 inhibitor in development for the treatment of retinal vascular diseases, such as wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and retinal vein occlusion (RVO), which, together, affect more than 57 million people globally4. VIS-101’s bispecific, tetravalent design format provides more binding sites and increased VEGF-A and ANG-2 affinity, for rapid, robust and class-leading durable responses. VIS-101 has completed initial safety and dose-escalation studies in both the US and China and a randomized, dose-ranging 2a study in China (NCT05456828). VIS-101 is expected to advance to a dose-determining Phase 2b study in 2026, with initiation of the global Phase 3 program in 2027.

NovaBridge is the majority shareholder of Visara, and Visara controls global rights to VIS-101 outside of greater China and certain countries in Asia.
