    April 17, 2026, 5:53 AM EDT. Kailera Therapeutics has raised $625 million in its initial public offering (IPO), marking the largest biotech IPO since Moderna's 2018 debut. The Waltham, Massachusetts-based company sold 39 million shares priced at $16 each on the Nasdaq under the ticker KLRA. Funds will chiefly support development of obesity therapies, including injectable and oral GLP-1 drugs licensed from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals. Kailera plans to invest $625 million in late-stage trials for ribupatide, which showed nearly 18% weight loss in China. Additional money will back phase 3 studies of a daily oral version and other pipeline assets. The company may raise another $93 million if underwriters fully exercise their option. Led by CEO Ron Renaud, Kailera aims to compete in the expanding obesity treatment market with a deep late-stage portfolio.
