           In June 2024, AprilBio licensed out its autoimmune disease drug candidate APB-R3 (EVO301) to Evommune in a deal valued at up to 475 million dollars. Analysts say that if Evommune receives a strong valuation during its IPO, AprilBio’s technology value and milestone revenue potential could rise in tandem.

The lead underwriters include Morgan Stanley, Leerink Partners, Evercore ISI, and Cantor.</p>

Among them, EVO301-known as APB-R3 in Korea-was licensed from AprilBio in June 2024 with exclusive global development and commercialization rights.</p>

The company is conducting a Phase 2 trial in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, with interim results expected in the first half of 2026. Evommune has also designated ulcerative colitis as the next indication and is preparing to begin another Phase 2 study.</p>

          <p contents-hash="c65b632cbe840b0bdca1802c0cf5e4d8506f16151491f2f6c121b42a427c04b1" dmcf-pid="WV7QRbXDEI" dmcf-ptype="general">The fact that Evommune disclosed a new indication before completing its ongoing atopic dermatitis trial is seen as an early signal of confidence in its clinical data.</p>
