Reyon Pharmaceutical, which had previously shown little price volatility, surprised the market with a 22% surge in a single day.</p>

On the KOSPI, mid-sized drugmaker Reyon Pharmaceutical recorded the largest gain of the day, soaring 22.44%.</p>

           Abion’s news of a $1.315 billion (approx. 1.8 trillion KRW) technology licensing deal for its antibody drug ‘ABN501’ drove both Abion and its largest shareholder Telcon RF Pharmaceutical to limit-up for three straight sessions. Bridge Biotherapeutics is also riding a streak of limit-ups after U.S. crypto-focused hedge fund Parataxis Holdings LLC acquired management control, quelling fears of delisting. Reyon’s rally came after news broke of a CDMO (contract development and manufacturing) deal for obesity treatments.

The company has now hit the daily upper limit for four consecutive sessions following the announcement of its management control transfer to U.S. digital asset investment firm Parataxis Holdings LLC. This marks a dramatic turnaround from earlier this year, when Bridge Bio suffered five consecutive sessions of limit-down after a failed Phase 2 trial of its idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis candidate BBT-877.</p>

          <p contents-hash="77718ce37ee7f6640778e9cd1e008dfcebde3c1208e367a3167e0cef20c274d7" dmcf-pid="zv2RH81mh0" dmcf-ptype="general">Bridge Bio was designated as such in March after failing to resolve persistent pre-tax losses from continuing operations. In April, BBT-877 failed to meet its primary endpoint in Phase 2, sending shares tumbling from 8,960 KRW to a low of 671 KRW-dropping it to penny stock territory.</p>

However, doubts remain over the synergy between the company’s original drug development pipeline and its new crypto-fintech direction. “It‘s unclear whether the coexistence of crypto and drug development will work out,” said one industry insider, “but it could definitely drive share price momentum.”</p>

Bridge Bio CEO Jeong-kyu Lee responded, “The capital payment will proceed without any setbacks.”</p>

          <p contents-hash="d3c18efc71c8b9cfab7a7f2a3ce3899244e0f413c97ec4845e3f4774a4354c71" dmcf-pid="9G6ntMphT5" dmcf-ptype="general">ABN501 targets claudin-3 (CLDN3), a protein overexpressed in solid tumors. The antibody drug candidate, which completed preclinical studies in April, selectively binds to CLDN3 at tight junctions between cancer cells, including in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). It is designed to be developed using various platforms such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and bispecific antibodies for a broad range of tumor types.</p>

In April, Abion had announced the signing of a term sheet for tech transfer with an unnamed American ADC firm.</p>
          <p contents-hash="e0babe933e5b2d69756842f53ad00d9fdb10da9378f71d8fbdf46f25b34ad062" dmcf-pid="VFdA7LbYSX" dmcf-ptype="general">The massive tech transfer is also expected to resolve concerns over Abion’s financial health. After exceeding the regulatory threshold for pre-tax loss versus equity capital in 2023, Abion was at risk of designation as a concern. Its ratio had climbed to 154% but was reduced to 58% by Q1 2024.</p>
          <p contents-hash="bcfc2903794e4eb81a2b1097698d1bfa15188e5a6d2d96702c51f1238454dc8c" dmcf-pid="f3JczoKGyH" dmcf-ptype="general">Abion had been preparing contingency plans such as converting outstanding convertible bonds (CBs) into common shares to bring the ratio below 50%. The upfront payment of $25 million (approx. 34 billion KRW) from this licensing deal now adds to the company’s financial stability.</p>
          <p contents-hash="ba730ca4abff482815977264af71806f3cd854314af1ed2a71bdbb0ff475f177" dmcf-pid="40ikqg9HCG" dmcf-ptype="general">“Abion has been undervalued for some time,” a company representative noted. “We believe there’s still upside potential ahead.”</p>

Such a large move is rare for the mid-cap firm, which posted annual sales in the 150 billion KRW range. The rally underscores surging investor interest in obesity-related therapeutics.</p>
