Zhitong Finance APP learned that, according to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's disclosure on December 30, Yaotai Ankang (Nanjing) Technology Co., Ltd. (Yaotai Ankang) submitted a listing application to the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with CITIC SEC and Huatai International as its joint sponsors. It is noted that the company has submitted applications to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange four times.
According to the prospectus, Yaotai Ankang is a biotechnology company that is clinical demand-driven and at the clinical registration stage, focusing on the discovery and development of innovative small molecule therapies for tumors, inflammation, and cardiovascular metabolic diseases.

The company currently has a pipeline of six clinical-stage candidates and one preclinical candidate. The core product Tinengotinib (TT-00420) is a globally innovative drug that is in the registration stage. It is reported that Tinengotinib has the potential to address unmet clinical needs in treating various relapsed or difficult-to-treat, drug-resistant solid tumors (including cholangiocarcinoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, biliary tract cancers, and pan-FGFR solid tumors). The prospectus also mentions that the company plans to develop commercialization and marketing plans to accompany the anticipated product launch, starting with the commercialization of Tinengotinib for treating cholangiocarcinoma in China. However, there is no guarantee that the company will ultimately succeed in developing and selling its core product or any pipeline products.
According to Frost & Sullivan data, the number of global cholangiocarcinoma patients increased from approximately 234,900 in 2018 to 280,000 in 2023. About 62% of patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma receive second-line treatment, while 32% of patients have received at least third-line treatment. Among cholangiocarcinoma patients, 25.2% exhibit FGFR mutations (including fusions and rearrangements, point mutations, and gene amplifications), and 7.4% of patients with partial remission have observed FGFR fusions and rearrangements.
The company currently has no products approved for commercial sale, and has not generated any revenue from product sales. During the reporting period, the company has not achieved profitability and incurred operating losses. Yaotai Ankang's revenue mainly comes from milestone payments related to TT-01025 from LG Chem and external licensing.
