Description: ZLAB Zai Lab November 07, 2025
Zai Lab Ltd (NASDAQ: ZLAB) is a China-based biopharma founded in 2013 that concentrates on discovering, developing, and commercializing therapies for oncology, immunology, neuroscience, and infectious diseases. Its business model blends in-house R&D with a network of licensed collaborations that accelerate market entry across multiple therapeutic classes.
The company’s current commercial portfolio includes Zejula (niraparib) for ovarian cancer, VYVGART for myasthenia gravis and CIDP, NUZYRA for bacterial pneumonia and skin infections, Optune (tumor-treating fields) for glioblastoma, Qinlock for GIST, Xacduro for Acinetobacter-related pneumonia, and Augtyro targeting ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer.
Zai Lab’s pipeline features several late-stage candidates: bemarituzumab (FGFR2-targeted antibody), tumor-treating fields, tisotumab vedotin (antibody-drug conjugate), and repotrectinib (TRK/ROS1 inhibitor) in oncology; plus efgartigimod, xanomeline, and trospium chloride in immunology, neuroscience, and infectious disease. These assets are advanced under collaborations with partners such as Amgen, Bristol-Myers Squibb, NovoCure, and Pfizer, which provide both development expertise and co-funding.
Recent data (Q2 2024) show Zai Lab generated $210 million in revenue, a 28 % YoY increase driven largely by Zejula sales in China, and the company reported a cash runway extending into 2026. The Chinese biotech sector is benefitting from accelerated regulatory pathways for innovative therapies, while global demand for oncology and rare-disease drugs remains a strong tailwind, supporting higher pricing power and market expansion.
