I-Mab Acquires Bridge Health, Gaining Rights to Givastomig
“Advancing givastomig is I-Mab’s top priority. The strategic acquisition of Bridge Health emphasizes I-Mab’s focus on enhancing the value of givastomig. With this transaction, I-Mab has further enriched the potential value of givastomig by strengthening upstream intellectual property rights, reducing future milestone payments, and unencumbering givastomig of future royalties,” said Sean Fu, PhD, MBA, Chief Executive Officer of I-Mab. “Positive Phase 1b dose escalation data recently presented at ESMO GI 2025 has enhanced our confidence that givastomig has the potential to be a best-in-class CLDN18.2-directed therapy for gastric cancers and beyond. Continued clinical trial momentum has enabled faster than expected enrollment in the Phase 1b dose expansion cohorts, and we now expect to provide a topline readout in Q1 of 2026.”
