Description: ZBIO Zenas BioPharma, Common October 26, 2025

Zenas BioPharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZBIO) is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on immunology-based therapeutics. Its flagship candidate, obexelimab, is a bifunctional monoclonal antibody that simultaneously targets CD19 and FcγRIIb, positioning it for indications such as IgG4-related disease, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The pipeline also includes ZB002 (anti-TNFα), ZB004 (CTLA-4-Ig fusion), and ZB001 (anti-IGF-1R), all aimed at leveraging novel immune-modulation mechanisms. The company, incorporated in 2019 and headquartered in Waltham, MA, rebranded from Zenas BioPharma (Cayman) Limited in August 2023.

As of the latest quarter, Zenas reported approximately $45 million in cash and marketable securities, giving it an estimated 12-month runway at its current burn rate of $3.5 million per month. The immunology market is projected to grow at a CAGR of ~9 % through 2030, driven by rising prevalence of autoimmune disorders and increasing adoption of biologics. Moreover, the company’s IND filings for obexelimab in three separate indications provide a diversified clinical risk profile, a factor that historically correlates with higher valuation multiples for early-stage biotech firms.
