Sundia Diagnostics Completes RMB 1.5 Billion Series B Equity Financing and Files IPO Prospectus

3D Medicines Diagnostics, a leading molecular diagnostics platform provider, recently announced the completion of a new equity financing round worth RMB 1.5 billion. This marks the second independent fundraising round for 3D Medicines Diagnostics since its spin-off from 3D Medicines Group. Previously, 3D Medicines Diagnostics completed its first post-spinoff financing round of RMB 280 million in 2019, while 3D Medicines New Drug also recently finalized its first post-spinoff fundraising round of USD 140 million. The current financing round was led by CPE, with participation from funds under China International Capital Corporation (CICC) Capital, Jimin Kexin, Qingsong Capital, Pudong Science and Technology Innovation Investment, Haier Medical, Ruiyi Investment, and Lanshang Capital. Existing shareholders Luxin Venture Capital, Shandong Transportation Development Fund, and Xiantong Capital continued to increase their investments. China Renaissance served as the exclusive financial advisor for this financing round.

After years of dedicated development, 3D Medicines Diagnostics has become one of the leading enterprises in China’s precision diagnostics sector. It operates two major business lines: third-party medical laboratory services and IVD (in vitro diagnostic) equipment and reagents. The company has established a comprehensive R&D pipeline covering products in oncology (spanning early diagnosis, companion diagnostics, and dynamic monitoring) and microbiological diagnostics, including:

1) In the field of early tumor diagnosis, the company’s ovarian cancer early diagnostic kit, developed based on its proprietary exosome biomarker platform, has entered registration clinical trials;

2) In the field of tumor companion diagnostics and dynamic monitoring, the company achieved a fully automated data analysis system in 2018. Subsequently, in 2019, the ANDiS400, developed by the company with fully automated closed-system gene library preparation capabilities, received marketing approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). To date, the company has established a series of R&D pipelines for fully automated platforms and created corresponding product development and registration pipelines for companion diagnostics and dynamic monitoring automation. The future launch of these products will help overcome the bottleneck that has prevented the scalable implementation of tumor NGS technology in domestic hospitals due to its excessive complexity. With years of dedicated focus on the R&D of fully automated protein and molecular diagnostic products in the field of precision diagnostics, 3D Medicines Diagnostics has formed an interdisciplinary R&D team integrating equipment engineering, electrical engineering, life sciences, materials science, and data analytics. This lays a solid foundation for realizing the company’s mission and vision of making precision medicine accessible to patients anytime and anywhere.

Dr. Xiong Lei, Chairman and CEO of 3D Medicines Diagnostics, stated, “We extend our gratitude to both new and existing investors for their confidence in us. The funds raised in this financing round for the diagnostics division will be primarily allocated to the research and development (R&D) of equipment and reagents in the field of precision diagnostics. This includes the R&D and regulatory registration of fully automated NGS workflow systems and other molecular diagnostic instruments; the R&D and regulatory registration of multiple precision diagnostic IVD products; the development of an AI-based automated diagnostic product pipeline; and the R&D of exosome platform-based IVD products for early diagnosis. The funds will also support the expansion of our commercialization team and the advancement of our overseas business operations.”

CPE stated, “With the approval of more precision-targeted and precision immunotherapy drugs and the continuous emergence of new treatment modalities, sequencing technology holds broad prospects for application in the field of precision oncology. As a leading enterprise in the precision cancer diagnostics industry, 3D Medicines (formerly 3DMed Diagnostics) has proactively established its presence in the automation of sequencing workflows, providing comprehensive sequencing-based solutions for clinical practice. This contributes to the expansion of sequencing technology in clinical settings, enabling the selection of more precise treatment regimens for cancer patients, thereby extending patient survival and improving quality of life. We are honored to work hand in hand with Dr. Xiong and our colleagues at the company to jointly advance the development of precision cancer therapy.”

CICC Capital’s investment team stated, “Precision medicine has long been a key focus area for CICC. As a critical link connecting patients with treatment modalities, precision diagnostics holds substantial potential for clinical application.
