The total floor area amounted to 70,000 sq.m., including manufacturing shop, pilot plant, R&D center, quality inspection center, clinical study center, administration building, and biological reaction workshop with a capacity of 38,000 litres. The civil construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. Upon the completion of construction, the new campus will be able to produce 2.5 to 3.0 million bottles of mAb injection per year, representing a relatively high level in the industry.

SinoMab possesses an extensive drug candidate pipeline based on mAb, targeting on the treatments of various immunological diseases. The Company’s flagship product, SM03, a potential global first-in-target anti-CD22 mAb for the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is currently in phase III clinical trials in China and expected to be commercialized by the end of 2021. One of the Company’s key product, SN1011, has received the Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China.
