Overview
We are a fully integrated commercial-stage innovative oncology company with an approved next-generation PD-1 inhibitor, LOQTORZI, and a pipeline that includes two mid-stage clinical candidates targeting liver, lung, head & neck, and other cancers. Our commercial product is LOQTORZI, a novel next-generation PD-1 inhibitor. We are developing an innovative immuno-oncology pipeline that is expected to bring forward new potential indications for LOQTORZI in the U.S. and the development of new product candidates.
We previously owned UDENYCA, which was launched commercially in a pre-filled syringe presentation in the United States in January 2019, followed by the launch of UDENYCA in an autoinjector presentation in May 2023 and the launch of UDENYCA ONBODY in February 2024. On December 2, 2024, we divested the UDENYCA Business to Intas for upfront, all-cash consideration of $483.4 million.
On October 27, 2023, LOQTORZI was approved by the FDA in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of adults with metastatic or recurrent locally advanced NPC, and as monotherapy for the treatment of adults with recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic NPC with disease progression on or after platinum-containing chemotherapy. We announced the launch of LOQTORZI in the U.S. on January 2, 2024.
Our pipeline comprises earlier stage clinical and preclinical immuno-oncology programs that we plan to develop in combination with LOQTORZI as well as in partnership with other companies. Our clinical stage product candidates include casdozokitug (CHS-388), an investigational antagonist antibody targeting IL-27, and CHS-114, an investigational antibody targeting CCR8.

Financial Operations Overview
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, we had $82.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. We believe our available cash, cash from divestitures, product sales, and ATM Offering proceeds will be sufficient to fund our planned expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Key liquidity events include:
We have various contingent milestone and royalty obligations related to our partnerships and collaborations. We also have non-cancelable purchase commitments of $59.0 million as of March 31, 2025.
Overall, our financial position has been strengthened by the UDENYCA divestiture, allowing us to focus on the commercialization of LOQTORZI and advancement of our immuno-oncology pipeline.
