- Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (6838.TWO) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops novel drug candidates focused on ophthalmology, oncology, and anti-infectives. Founded in 2010 and headquartered at 8F-6, No. 57 Fuxing North Road, Songshan District, Taipei, Taiwan, the company leverages its proprietary APNT nanoparticle formulation platform to enhance pharmacokinetics and bioavailability across its pipeline, including 505(b)(2) applications, biosimilars, and new chemical entities. It primarily operates in Taiwan with global licensing partnerships spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, Middle East, North Africa, India, Israel, Chile, and other emerging markets.
The company's core products and pipeline include APP13007 (clobetasol propionate ophthalmic nanosuspension 0.05%), a U.S. FDA-approved treatment for post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery that offers rapid relief with a twice-daily regimen for 14 days; TSY-110 (also known as TSY-0110), an antibody-drug conjugate biosimilar of Roche's Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) co-developed with EirGenix for HER2-positive metastatic and early breast cancer; TSY-210, a broad-spectrum anti-infective targeting nine of the top 22 WHO/CDC priority pathogens including resistant strains; and oncology assets such as TSY-310 (ALM-401), a first-in-class bispecific ADC licensed from Almac Discovery targeting EGFR/ROR1 in solid tumors, alongside earlier-stage programs like APP13002 and MPT0E028.
