<li>CD47 has been considered “problematic” by the industry, so in order to prove its druggability, it usually requires very good clinical data, and cannot rely on “conjectures” such as BsAb. </li>
<li>There’s no compelling evidence to prove that the toxicity issue of CD47 can be resolved. There're concerns on the safety profile and efficacy of HX009/HX044, with high R&amp;D failure risks.</li>
<li>After Series B+ of financing in June 2024, post-investment valuation of Hanx reached about RMB1.6 billion. Due to slower R&amp;D progress. we think Hanx’s valuation should be lower than ImmuneOnco.  </li>
