Caldera Therapeutics, Inc. / Qyuns Therapeutics Co., Ltd.

2026 · Licensing/Option · $780M · Complete

Caldera Therapeutics licensed exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to a preclinical-stage bispecific antibody program targeting IL-17 and TL1A from China-based Qyuns Therapeutics, for $30 million upfront and up to $750 million in milestone payments plus royalties (total potential value up to $780 million). This is the second global licensing agreement between the two companies, following an April 2025 deal for an IL-23p19/TL1A bispecific antibody now known as CLD-423. The new IL-17/TL1A program had not been assigned a development code at announcement, with further details expected in 2027.

This deal is too recent to grade. Critic Score and Outcome Score are assigned after the announcement-week coverage settles and, for Outcome, after the 5-year post-close assessment window opens — expected 2031 at the earliest for this deal, once/if it closes.
