Business overview

Source: DART corporate disclosure

Founded in 2016 and listed on KOSDAQ in 2023, Pharos iBio is a research and development company focused on innovative therapies for rare and intractable diseases, particularly oncology. Using its AI-driven drug discovery platform Chemiverse, the company has built a pipeline including the acute myeloid leukemia candidate Lasmotinib (PHI-101), the recurrent ovarian cancer candidate PHI-101-OC, the FAK inhibitor PHI-301, and the NRAS AML candidate PHI-501. Pharos iBio manufactures no marketed drug itself, instead pursuing conditional approval after Phase 2 trials and out-licensing of candidates as its business model, and Lasmotinib (PHI-101) received orphan drug designations from the US FDA in 2019, Korea's MFDS in 2024 (the country's 53rd such designation), and the EU EMA in 2025.
