SHANGHAI, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CARsgen Therapeutics Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 2171.HK), a company focused on developing innovative CAR T-cell therapies, announces that through its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary CARsgen Diagnostics, it has signed Strategic Cooperation Agreements agreements with Shanghai Jingong Enterprise, which is a key platform enterprise in the Bay Area High-Tech Zone of Jinshan District, Shanghai. With a total investment amount not exceeding RMB370 million, the Company will establish an advanced commercial manufacturing base for CAR T-cell products in Jinshan District, Shanghai.
This move closely aligns with the commercialization progress of the Company’s multiple CAR T-cell products, including the marketed product zevorcabtagene autoleucel and the CAR T-cell product satricabtagene autoleucel (R&D code “CT041”) for solid tumor currently in the NDA stage. It also lays the foundation for the future mass production of multiple allogeneic CAR T-cell products (such as CT0596 and CT1190B). Under this background, enhancing CAR T-cell manufacturing capacity that meets international standards has become a core initiative to support the commercialization of multiple products and strengthen global competitiveness. This transaction requires no significant capital expenditure from CARsgen Therapeutics in early stage, thus effectively preserving valuable cash flow for core research and development as well as market expansion. In addition, the repurchase mechanism ensures the Company can fully acquire asset control after long-term operation, maintaining production stability and enhancing the flexibility of asset layout.
This collaboration demonstrates CARsgen Therapeutics’ prudent financial planning and deep layout in the CAR T-cell therapy industry ecosystem. It also indicates that the project is highly in line with national and local policies on the biopharmaceutical industry and has received high attention and strong support from the government. This strategic partnership will further consolidate CARsgen Therapeutics’ leading position in the global CAR T-cell therapy industry while creating long-term value for shareholders.
