On July 31, GENSCRIPT BIO rose 5.47% in regular trading, trading at HK$18.29/share, with turnover of HK$292 million. The stock's gain was driven by strong quarterly sales data from its associate company Legend Biotech's flagship CAR-T therapy CARVYKTI.
According to a company filing, Legend Biotech disclosed that CARVYKTI generated net trade sales of approximately $657 million in the quarter ended June 30, representing a nearly 50% increase year-over-year and extending its robust growth trajectory. The sales figure was provided by collaboration partner Janssen Biotech under their cooperation and license agreement originally signed in December 2017. Neither Legend Biotech nor GENSCRIPT BIO independently verified the accuracy of the figure.
Beyond the commercial momentum of CARVYKTI, GENSCRIPT BIO's pipeline also showed progress, with Legend Biotech's potentially first-in-class in vivo CD19/CD20 dual-targeting CAR-T therapy LB2501 achieving clinical proof-of-concept in relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients in June, demonstrating dose-dependent CAR-T cell expansion without lymphodepletion.
