Established as a joint venture by Zentalis Pharmaceuticals in May 2020 with $20 million, it aims to advance cancer therapies for the Chinese market while maintaining high-quality clinical trials and scientific standards. The company specializes in molecular therapeutics targeting biological pathways in solid and liquid tumors, addressing unmet medical needs. On August 2, 2021, Zentera closed a $75 million Series B financing round, bringing total funding to $95 million across two rounds. The round was led by founding investors OrbiMed Advisors Asia and Tybourne Capital Management, with participation from Avidity Partners, Casdin Capital, Farallon Capital Management, Lilly Asia Ventures, Logos Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Redmile Group, Surveyor Capital (a Citadel company), and Viking Global Investors. Proceeds are designated to advance three Zentalis-discovered oncology clinical candidates, including a WEE1 inhibitor for solid tumors (similar to PARP inhibitors), an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader for ER+/HER2- breast cancer, and a third preclinical asset expected to enter the clinic by year-end. Funds will also support business development for in-licensing products from outside China and expanding the in-house pipeline. At the time of the Series B, Zentera had advanced its first two candidates into clinical trials, secured multiple CTA approvals, and grown its team of scientists and researchers. LXL Capital estimated the company's valuation in the range of $675 million to $900 million. The company eyed a potential public offering in Hong Kong in 2022 to further its independence and global ambitions in delivering oncology drugs. Zentera operates under the leadership of Dr. Anthony Sun, who serves as CEO for both Zentera and Zentalis Pharmaceuticals, enabling strategic alignment while allowing Zentera to function independently rather than as a subsidiary. |
| May 2020 | Series A | OrbiMed (lead); Tybourne Capital Management (lead) | $20M | - | Zentera Therapeutics is a Shanghai-based biopharmaceutical company spun off as a joint venture by Zentalis Pharmaceuticals in May 2020 to develop and commercialize oncology therapies, specifically small molecule cancer drugs like Zn-c5 for breast cancer, in the Chinese market. Zentalis, focused on small molecule oncology drugs, established Zentera to advance at least three product candidates discovered by Zentalis for China, retaining a majority stake post-funding. Anthony Sun, CEO of Zentalis, also serves as CEO of Zentera, emphasizing the strategic importance of China as the second-largest pharmaceutical market. The Series A round on May 20-22, 2020, raised $20 million, led by Tybourne Capital Management and co-led by OrbiMed Asia (a fund of OrbiMed), with proceeds earmarked for developing and commercializing three cancer therapies in China, including building a local management team of oncology experts. This followed Zentalis' $165 million IPO in April 2020 and prior $162 million in funding. Zentera's pipeline includes a WEE1 inhibitor for solid tumors (similar to PARP inhibitors like Lynparza), an oral selective estrogen receptor degrader for ER+/HER2- breast cancer, and a third preclinical asset from Zentalis planned for clinical trials. The structure as a joint venture allows Zentera independence while Zentalis controls clinical quality. In August 2021, Zentera raised a $75 million Series B from OrbiMed, Tybourne, Avidity Partners, Casdin Capital, and others including Farallon, Lilly Asia Ventures, Logos Capital, Perceptive Advisors, Redmile Group, Surveyor Capital, and Viking Global Investors, to advance these assets and eye a 2022 Hong Kong listing, with potential to in-license external oncology products. |
