公司於腫瘤領域達成多項合作,市場前景廣闊

公司於 12 月 10 日公佈與專注腫瘤領域的生物製藥公司 Arcus Biosiences (RCUS US)加強合作,Arcus 公司將藉助藥明生物一體化技術平台研發抗 CD39 抗體,並擁有相關抗體產品的全球獨家開發和商業化權益,這個項目是 Arcus 公司繼 PD-1 抗體、TIGIT 抗體等後與藥明生物的第四項合作。PD-1 與 TIGIT 是腫瘤免疫療法的重要靶點,CD39 是負責在腫瘤微環境中將免疫刺激性細胞外 ATP 轉化為免疫抑制腺苷(ADO)的初始步驟的酶,並在腫瘤微環境免疫抑制反應中扮演重要角色。腫瘤免疫療法為新興療法,目前全球僅有三個 CD39 抗體進入臨牀試驗階段,但是研究表明 CD39 在淋巴瘤、肉瘤、肺癌、胰腺癌、卵巢癌、腎細胞癌、甲狀腺癌和睪丸癌等均呈高表達現象,我們認為 CD39 抗體研發需求將提升,如這個產品進展順利,將有助於公司從其他企業獲得更多相關訂單。

除此以外,公司早前還公佈在抗體偶聯物(ADC)領域再下一城,公司及藥明康德(2359HK)旗下合全藥業與德國公司 Tubulis 共同進行 ADC 研發,首個項目將針對淋巴瘤。ADC由單克隆抗體、具高度細胞毒性的分子實體及化學連接器組成。由於 ADC 同時具備單克隆抗體的高靶向性與化藥細胞毒性的特點,因此近年來的研發需求不斷提升,如公司的研發進展順利,未來將獲得更多相關訂單。

中期看生物藥研發需求強大,藥明生物作為行業龍頭將持續受益

根據南方醫藥經濟研究所的統計,2020 年前三季度醫藥行業上市公司來自生物製劑銷售的收入與利潤總額分別同比增長 19.8%與 28.2%, 增速顯着跑贏製藥行業其他板塊,表明生物藥的需求非常強大,研發與生產服務的需求也將增加,藥明生物作為行業龍頭將受益。

重申“增持”評級,上調目標價

港股醫藥行業近期受醫保談判與近期可能實施第四批帶量採購的傳聞影響整體表現不佳,但是 CXO 板塊股價卻非常堅挺。我們認為 CXO 板塊將繼續受益於創新藥研發的需求。考慮到公司在腫瘤領域的研發能力加強及人民幣匯率上漲等因素,我們重申“增持”評級,並將目標價從 85.55 港元微升至 88.30 港元。

風險提示:(一)新冠疫情反覆導致公司生產受影響;(二)新冠疫情反覆導致公司客户經營受影響被迫減少研發支出;(三)項目進展中出現問題可能導致中斷
