For Chinese drug research firms, 2025 is shaping up as the year of the mega deal.
今年以来，中国创新药企频签大额对外授权订单，三生制药以12.5亿美元首付款将PD-1/VEGF双抗授权给辉瑞，创下国产创新药首付新纪录，恒瑞医药与葛兰素史克达成最高120亿美元战略合作，AI制药领域也同样传来捷报。上周二晚间，晶泰控股有限公司（2228.HK）宣布已于2025年6月底与美国创新药企DoveTree完成总订单规模约59.9亿美元（430亿元）的管线合作签约。
Several drug discovery companies have signed licensing agreements with eye-popping headline figures for their promising prototypes that, if clinically successful, could be worth billions of dollars to the developers.
根据协议内容，晶泰科技将利用其基于“AI+机器人”的端到端人工智能药物发现平台，为DoveTree选定的多个主要针对肿瘤学、免疫及炎症疾病、神经系统疾病及代谢失调领域的靶点，发现和开发小分子及抗体类候选药物， DoveTree独家享有相关药物全球范围的独家开发和商业化权利。
For example, 3SBio (1530.HK) signed over rights to an experimental cancer treatment based on a bispecific antibody to Pfizer for an initial $1.25 billion, setting a record for upfront payments for Chinese drug innovations, while Hengrui Pharma has entered a deal potentially worth $12 billion with GSK.
晶泰科技称，已收到协议约定的首付款5100万美元。协议签署后180天内，晶泰还将获得4900万美元的阶段性付款，未来还将获得最高58.9亿美元的潜在监管里程碑及商业里程碑付款，以及基于产品年度净销售额的潜在个位数百分点的特许权使用费。以订单总规模59.9亿美元计算，此次合作创下了人工智能新药研发（AIDD）领域订单规模的新纪录。
