Report scope. This 2026 Drug Asset Due Diligence Report evaluates OBI-833 as a potential licensing, partnership, acquisition, or option asset. The review separates verified evidence from open diligence questions across clinical development, intellectual property, market positioning, and transaction precedent.
Executive recommendation: CONDITIONAL GO
OBI-833 is a Inactivated vaccine associated with Globo H and a global highest development stage of Phase 2. The lead disclosed indication is EGFR-mutated non-small Cell Lung Cancer. The current evidence supports a CONDITIONAL GO posture, subject to confirmation of study-level data, ownership, patent coverage, manufacturing readiness, and regional rights.

1. Asset identity and development status
The first diligence task is entity resolution. Teams should reconcile development codes, nonproprietary names, salts, formulations, combinations, sponsors, and predecessor owners before relying on portfolio counts. For OBI-833, the MCP profile identifies Globo H as the primary target context and EGFR-mutated non-small Cell Lung Cancer as the lead indication. Global phase labels are useful orientation points, but investment decisions require country- and indication-level status verification.
Confirm the exact molecule, formulation, route, dose, biomarker definition, and current sponsor. Review discontinuations separately from active development so that an historical high phase is not mistaken for a live program.

2. Clinical program: design and endpoint audit
| Registry | Phase | Status | Enrollment | Lead primary endpoint |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT06490198 | Phase 1 | Not yet recruiting | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT05442060 | Phase 2 | Recruiting | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT05376423 | Phase 2 | Unknown status | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT04936529 | Phase 2 | Recruiting | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| KCT0005816 | Phase 3 | Recruiting | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT03608878 | Phase 2 | Terminated | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT02310464 | Phase 1 | Completed | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| NCT00857545 | Phase 2 | Completed | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
The clinical program should be audited for randomization, comparator relevance, dose selection, endpoint hierarchy, multiplicity, analysis population, geographic mix, and readout timing. Early-stage programs require attention to pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, and the rationale for the expansion dose.

3. Clinical readouts: what is known
A randomised phase II trial of a trivalent ganglioside vaccine targeting GM2, GD2 and GD3 combined with immunological adjuvant OPT-821 versus OPT-821 alone in metastatic sarcoma patients rendered disease-free by surgery
Study: NCT01141491 (Pubmed). Phase: Phase 2. Enrollment: 136. Published: 2022-11-01.
Clinical Response = 96.5 % | Clinical Response = 32.8 %
An Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Active Immunotherapy With Dose Escalation and Cohort Expansion of OBI-833 (Globo H-CRM197) in Advanced/Metastatic Gastric, Lung, Colorectal, or Breast Cancer Subjects
Study: NCT02310464 (CTgov). Phase: Phase 1. Enrollment: 25. Published: 2022-10-03.
TESAE = 1 Pts | TESAE = 0 Pts
397P - A phase I cohort expansion trial of OBI-833 in non-small cell lung cancer patients
Study: NCT02310464 (ESMO_ASIA_VIRTUAL2020). Phase: Phase 1. Enrollment: 14. Published: 2020-11-22.
TRAE = A total of 79 treatment-related AEs were reported. Most were injection site reactions. Among the 6 reported SAEs, one was treatment-related, which was Grade 4 acute pancreatitis, and five were non-treatment related.
A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind Trial of a Polyvalent Vaccine-KLH Conjugate (NSC 748933 ) + OPT-821 Versus OPT-821 in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Peritoneal Cancer Who Are in Second or Third Complete Remission
Study: NCT00857545 (CTgov). Phase: Phase 2. Enrollment: 171. Published: 2017-09-06.
PFS(Median) = 5.9 Month (95%CI, 5.4 - 7.7) | PFS(Median) = 6.5 Month (95%CI, 5.1 - 7.9)
For every reported endpoint, obtain the protocol, statistical analysis plan, patient disposition, baseline characteristics, subgroup definitions, exposure duration, and full safety tables. Conference abstracts and registry summaries can support screening, but they should not replace source data review in a binding transaction.

4. Market and competitive position
The commercial case depends on differentiated efficacy, tolerability, convenience, biomarker reach, treatment setting, and access. A target-level market may be attractive while an individual asset remains undifferentiated. Benchmark OBI-833 against approved therapies and clinical competitors in EGFR-mutated non-small Cell Lung Cancer, including likely standards of care at the expected launch date.
Build a scenario model around addressable patients, diagnosis and biomarker rates, line of therapy, duration, net price, uptake, displacement, combination costs, and probability-adjusted timelines. Test slower enrollment, delayed readout, narrower labels, safety restrictions, and competitor launches.

5. Transaction precedent and economics
| Date | Transaction | Status | Type | Disclosed value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-02-22 | Odeon collaborates with OBI Pharma to develop, register, and commercialize OBI-999 and OBI-833 for cancer treatment in China, Hong Kong, and Macao. | Active | License | Not disclosed |
Transaction records should be normalized for territory, asset scope, phase at signing, option mechanics, development obligations, cost sharing, royalties, milestones, and change-of-control terms. Undisclosed economics must not be converted into invented benchmarks.
6. IP and freedom-to-operate screen
Complete a family-level patent review covering composition of matter, sequence or construct claims, polymorph and salt claims, formulation, dosing, combinations, biomarkers, manufacturing, and method of use. Verify priority, ownership, assignments, prosecution status, term adjustments, extensions, oppositions, and regional coverage. Freedom to operate is a separate legal analysis and should include competitor claims and platform dependencies.
The diligence room should reconcile inventorship, employee and contractor assignments, university or platform licenses, sublicensing restrictions, government rights, and obligations triggered by development milestones or commercialization.

7. Principal risks and diligence gates
- Identity risk: resolve all aliases, formulations, combinations, and owners.
- Clinical risk: confirm source data, protocol deviations, endpoint definitions, and safety follow-up.
- Regulatory risk: review agency correspondence, meeting minutes, holds, commitments, and indication-specific pathways.
- IP risk: validate enforceable coverage, remaining life, ownership, and freedom to operate.
- CMC risk: assess process control, analytical methods, comparability, scale-up, supply, and cost of goods.
- Commercial risk: pressure-test differentiation, market access, competitive timing, and realistic adoption.
- Transaction risk: map rights, encumbrances, royalties, options, consent requirements, and change-of-control provisions.
8. Final go/no-go memorandum
CONDITIONAL GO
Proceed only through staged diligence. Before exclusivity or a binding offer, require a verified asset identity package, complete clinical data room, regulatory correspondence, patent-family schedule, freedom-to-operate opinion, CMC package, ownership chain, regional rights map, and risk-adjusted valuation. Any material mismatch between public records and source documents should pause the process until reconciled.
Method note: This report uses PatSnap Drug & Asset MCP, Clinical Trials MCP, and Company & Deal Intelligence MCP data retrieved on 2026-10-15. It is a screening and diligence framework, not medical, legal, regulatory, or investment advice.
