Organization and Description of Business Organization and Description of Business
Instil Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) is headquartered in Dallas, Texas and was incorporated in the state of Delaware in August 2018. The Company is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of novel therapies.
The Company seeks to in-license or acquire and develop novel therapeutic candidates in diseases with significant unmet medical need. Most recently, on August 1, 2024, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SynBioTx, Inc. (“SynBioTx”), in-licensed certain bispecific antibodies, including the product candidate known as SYN-2510, a bispecific antibody targeting both programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as well as SYN-27M, a monoclonal antibody targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), from ImmuneOnco Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Inc. (“ImmuneOnco”). SYN-2510, the lead in-licensed product candidate, is a novel and differentiated PD-L1xVEGF bispecific antibody in development for the treatment of multiple solid tumor cancers. Pursuant to the license and collaboration agreement with ImmuneOnco (the “IO Collaboration Agreement), SynBioTx has an exclusive license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize these product candidates outside of China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (“Greater China”). ImmuneOnco retains development and commercialization rights in Greater China.
The Company also is developing a tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (“TIL”) cell therapy for the treatment of cancer, which was acquired in 2020. In December 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party collaborator to develop an autologous FRα CoStAR TIL (the “CoStAR-TIL Collaboration Product”) for a potential investigator-initiated trial (“IIT”) in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) in China. The CoStAR-TIL Collaboration Product will be manufactured by the collaborator utilizing the Company’s proprietary FRα CoStAR construct in the collaborator’s manufacturing process. The collaborator has an option to exclusively license the CoStAR-TIL Collaboration Product in China and Taiwan.
