It seems a major breakthrough for JW (Cayman) Therapeutics Co. Ltd. (2126.HK) just wasn’t enough for one of its prominent early backers. That’s the story of the moment for this Chinese cancer drug developer, whose shares have been on a roller coaster ride over the last two weeks on a major regulatory advance, followed by the departure of a major institutional shareholder.
