Company Profile & IPO Details

ItemDetail
CompanySuzhou Genhouse Bio Co., Ltd.
Founded2014
IPO VenueHong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE)
Focus AreasRAS signaling pathway, synthetic lethality
Pipeline Size7 self‑developed oral small‑molecule targeted therapies
Clinical Stage Assets4 candidates
Core ProductGH21 (allosteric SHP2 inhibitor)
GH21 StagePhase II clinical trials for solid tumors
Market PositionPotential best‑in‑class SHP2 inhibitor

Pipeline Overview & Technology Platform

  • RAS Pathway Focus: Targets one of oncology’s most high‑value yet historically undruggable pathways
  • Synthetic Lethality: Exploits cancer‑specific vulnerabilities for enhanced selectivity and safety
  • Oral Small‑Molecule Advantage: All candidates are orally bioavailable, offering dosing convenience versus injectable biologics
  • Clinical Stage Assets: Four programs advancing through Phase I/II, providing near‑term catalysts beyond GH21

Core Product: GH21 SHP2 Inhibitor

  • Mechanism: Allosteric SHP2 inhibitor targeting the protein tyrosine phosphatase that acts as a critical node downstream of RAS signaling
  • Differentiation: Potential best‑in‑class profile based on preclinical potency and selectivity data
  • Indication: Phase II trials in solid tumors, including potential combination strategies with KRAS G12C inhibitors
  • Market Need: SHP2 represents a validated resistance mechanism to targeted therapies; no approved SHP2 inhibitors exist

Market Opportunity & Strategic Positioning

  • SHP2 Inhibitor Market: Global market projected to exceed $5 billion :by 2030 if clinically validated, driven by RAS pathway drug combinations
  • RAS Pathway Landscape: Complements Amgen’s Lumakras and Mirati’s Krazati; GH21 could become cornerstone of next‑generation combo regimens
  • IPO Valuation: Analysts estimate $300–500 million pre‑money valuation based on pipeline novelty and clinical progress
  • Use of Proceeds: Funds expected to advance GH21 through Phase II, expand synthetic lethality pipeline, and build commercial manufacturing capabilities
  • Competitive Moat: Proprietary AI‑driven drug design platform enables rapid iteration on novel scaffolds, creating high barriers to entry
