What HUTCHMED (China) does

Oncology biotech developing and commercializing targeted cancer therapies globally, including fruquintinib (Fruzaqla).

Does not sell Fruzaqla itself outside China: Takeda holds those rights, so HUTCHMED earns upfront and milestone payments, supply revenue and royalties on Takeda's sales. In China it sells some of its own drugs, and AstraZeneca pays royalties on savolitinib sales there.

In one line: A Chinese Exelixis-style oncology drug developer with global licensing deals.
