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. In particular, the Company seeks to in-license or acquire and develop novel therapeutic candidates in diseases with significant unmet medical need.

In August 2024, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SynBioTx, Inc. (“SynBioTx”), in-licensed certain bispecific antibodies, including SYN-2510/IMM2510, a bispecific antibody targeting both programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as well as SYN-27M/IMM27M, a monoclonal antibody targeting cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), from ImmuneOnco Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Inc. (“ImmuneOnco”). 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 has a proprietary (FRα) co-stimulatory antigen receptor (“CoStAR”) tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (“TIL”) cell therapy technology for the treatment of cancer, which the Company is seeking to advance via collaboration. 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 in China. The collaborator has an option to exclusively license the CoStAR-TIL Collaboration Product in China and Taiwan.
