Biocytogen inks antibody deal with BeOne, expanding strategic ties

10 July 2025

China-based biotech Biocytogen (HKEX: 02315) has signed a global licensing agreement with oncology-focused BeOne Medicines (SHA: 688235), handing over rights to multiple fully human antibodies discovered through its proprietary RenMice platform.

The deal builds on an earlier arrangement under which BeOne had already licensed access to Biocytogen’s antibody discovery technology. Biocytogen will receive an undisclosed upfront payment as part of the new agreement and is in line for additional development and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on future sales.

BeOne will now gain broader access to antibody assets sourced from the RenMice system, which supports the development of fully human monoclonal and bispecific antibodies.
