Wuxi Biologics Stock Price, News & Analysis

WuXi Biologics (WXXWY) has launched WuXiHigh™2.0, an advanced formulation development platform for high-concentration biologics. The platform achieves protein concentrations up to 230 mg/mL, surpassing the current FDA-approved maximum of 200 mg/mL, while reducing viscosity by up to 90%.

The technology leverages proprietary excipient blends and integrates high-throughput instruments to predict viscosity and aggregation risks. It supports ultrafiltration/diafiltration operations at viscosities up to 100 cP and precision filling at up to 50 cP. The platform addresses the growing demand for high-concentration biologics, which currently represent over 20% of FDA-approved monoclonal antibody products.

WuXi Biologics has begun construction of a new microbial manufacturing facility in Chengdu's Wenjiang district, set for GMP production by end of 2026. The 95,000-square-meter site will feature a 15,000L fermenter capable of producing 80-110 drug substance batches annually, with potential expansion to 60,000L. The facility will include China's first dual-chamber lyophilization production line and vial filling line, enabling production of over 10 million vials annually. The site will utilize WuXi's EffiX microbial expression platform, achieving titers exceeding 15 g/L for non-mAb proteins. The facility will produce Lonapegsomatropin for VISEN Pharmaceuticals and has established a partnership with Virogen Biotechnology, focusing on commercial manufacturing of various biologics including peptides, antibody fragments, and virus-like particles.

WuXi Biologics (WXXWY) announces that its partner CANbridge Pharmaceuticals has received China NMPA approval for velaglucerase-beta for injection (Gaurunning), the first locally developed enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for Gaucher disease in China.
