GIC Invests US$100M in Ascletis Pharma (1672. HK): Anchoring Long-Term Capital in China’s Core Innovative Drug Assets ACN Newswire

GIC Invests US$100M in Ascletis Pharma (1672. HK): Anchoring Long-Term Capital in China’s Core Innovative Drug Assets

HONG KONG, Feb 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – According to disclosure of interests filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX), the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) has acquired an initial stake in Ascletis Pharma (1672. HK). GIC purchased 64,128,000 shares at an average price of approximately HK$12.18 per share, representing a total investment of roughly HK$781 million (approx. US$100 million). This transaction marks the official entry of one of the world's leading sovereign funds into Ascletis Pharma's shareholder base, drawing market attention to the renewed positioning of global long-term capital in China's innovative pharmaceutical sector.As one of the most representative sovereign funds globally, GIC's investment decisions highly emphasize certainty and the ability to navigate economic cycles. Its continuous increase in holdings in a single target usually means that its mid-to-long-term value judgment on the relevant assets has become clear. Unlike tactical transactions by short-term funds, GIC focuses more on whether the industrial logic is sound, whether R&D realization has time visibility, and the potential returns over the next few years.From a portfolio allocation perspective, GIC's decision to invest in Ascletis Pharma also reflects, to a certain extent, its recognition of the company's BD capabilities and pipeline structure. Ascletis Pharma's strategic layout in the innovative drug field exhibits differentiated characteristics, with a clear R&D pace. Its pipeline structure highly matches the "long-term, verifiable innovation" standards preferred by sovereign funds.As of now, GIC holds 64,128,000 shares of Ascletis Pharma, accounting for approximately 6.42% of the company's issued share capital (calculated based on 1,068,214,530 issued shares).Overall, GIC's current investment is more a strategic continuation of its presence in the Hong Kong innovative drug sector, rather than a short-term speculative behavior. As long-term capital gradually returns to fundamental pricing, core targets with genuine BD capabilities are re-entering the allocation scope of international capital.

COSMOPlat Introduces Full-Stack AI to Hong Kong for Trillion-Dollar Industrial Digitalization

HONG KONG, Feb 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Currently, digital transformation has become the core proposition of global industrial upgrading, and the manufacturing industry is also undergoing a disruptive transformation from being “experience-driven” to “data intelligence-driven”. In this process, the deep integration of artificial intelligence and industrial scenarios has become the key to resolving manufacturing complexity and unleashing productivity. The introduction of the Action Plan for Integrating and Empowering Industrial Internet and Artificial Intelligence by MIIT further marks the upgrade of “AI + Manufacturing” from an optional pathway to a mandatory one, giving rise to a blue ocean of value worth tens of trillions.As a deep participant and leader in the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, COSMOPlat IoT Technology Co., Ltd. (“COSMOPlat”) has, based on its profound understanding of massive data and complex scenarios in the industrial field, built a full-stack AI technology system that includes training and inference platform, large models, intelligent agent development and application platforms. This has not only redefined the implementation path of industrial digitalization and intelligentization, but also continuously strengthened its technical barriers in industrial practice, building a solid and difficult-to-replicate moat, and is expected to benefit deeply from the dividends of industrial digital and intelligent transformation and development. On January 30, COSMOPlat submitted a listing application to the HKEX, embarking on a new chapter of value realization.AI Restructuring Industrial Digitalization: Full-stack Architecture and Flywheel Effect Build Core BarriersIn traditional perception, the industrial internet is a platform for data connection and circulation, and its technical boundaries remain more at the levels of equipment access, data collection, and process visualization. However, through its original “space-air-ground integrated” full-stack AI technology system, COSMOPlat has deeply embedded “AI+” into its technology architecture, achieving an intelligent closed-loop across the entire chain from perception and decision-making to execution, transforming data into intelligent decision-making capabilities, completely overturning the technology logic of the traditional industrial internet, and building an inimitable technology moat.At the “space” level, COSMOPlat utilizes “COSMOMind”, the first domestic vertical large model based on an industrial internet platform, as its decision-making hub. “COSMOMind” deeply integrates Haier Group's over 40 years of manufacturing knowledge, as well as expert models and high-quality multimodal datasets accumulated on the COSMOMind Industrial Big Data. It possesses significant advantages in industrial scenario analysis, knowledge Q&A, and logical reasoning, with a retrieval accuracy rate of up to 93% in industrial knowledge fusion and retrieval. Through the "one industry, one model" strategy, COSMOPlat has developed industry-specific large models for enterprises in home appliances, energy and chemicals, energy and carbon industries, providing intelligent decision-making support for major industrial scenarios including research and development design, production manufacturing, operation services and dual-carbon management.Industry intelligent agents and industrial software serve as the “air link”, transforming the decision-making instructions of large models into more flexible human-machine interaction methods and more efficient execution capabilities. As of the Latest Practicable Date, COSMOPlat has developed 57 industrial intelligent agents covering over 40 core scenarios across 3 major industries, which can handle key industrial functions such as process optimization, equipment management, and smart energy and carbon, helping customers achieve intelligent control of industrial processes, shorten process parameter adjustment cycles, improve equipment operation and maintenance efficiency, and reduce production energy consumption and energy costs.At the “ground” level, intelligent terminals and automation equipment, acting as the executing limbs, transform AI capabilities into actual production actions and integrate them into the entire manufacturing process, achieving efficient synergy among data, equipment and scenarios, driving industrial AI from isolated intelligent applications to domain-wide intelligence, creating value-added throughout the entire process for customers across various industries, and maximizing the release of data value.Relying on the “space-air-ground integrated” full-stack AI technology system, COSMOPlat has achieved full-link intelligence across “perception-analysis-decision-execution-feedback”, forming a unique flywheel effect of “data accumulation—model refinement—intelligent agent deployment—data reinforcement”, achieving self-reinforcement and a virtuous cycle where “more data is generated through use, models become more precise through use, and intelligent agent scenarios become broader through use”, enabling COSMOPlat's AI capabilities to continuously evolve in practice and building a solid technology barrier.Practical Evidence: AI Empowerment from Concept to Significant Scenario Implementation ResultsThe value of technology must ultimately be tested by the market. COSMOPlat has demonstrated through numerous benchmark cases that its AI empowerment has moved beyond the “proof of concept” stage and is capable of delivering tangible economic benefits to enterprises.In the petrochemical industry, COSMOPlat has developed the world's first petrochemical large model covering the entire industry chain, entire ecosystem chain, and entire value chain, which has been implemented in a large-scale petrochemical enterprise. Based on the model, the Company has developed 38 intelligent agents, such as the dynamometer intelligent assistant and the aldehyde separation tower process optimization agent, covering scenarios such as oilfield extraction, oil and gas refining and chemical processing, and production safety, with an average efficiency increase of 20%. Taking the dynamometer intelligent assistant as an example, based on the professional capabilities of whole-network search and the COSMOMind, this intelligent agent can “read and understand” dynamometer data of industrial equipment such as deep well pumps, accurately identify equipment failures and provide disposal suggestions, improving the efficiency of oil well equipment failure diagnosis and disposal by more than 50%; the aldehyde separation tower process optimization assistant integrates historical data and expert knowledge, enabling dynamic identification and adjustment suggestions for key parameters, providing decision-making assistance for operators, and significantly enhancing quality control precision and the product first-time conversion rate; the intelligent oil blending assistant quickly generates optimal blending schemes through interpolation algorithms and non-linear programming models, balancing product performance with green production requirements, fully validating the practical value of AI in the heavy chemical industry.In core manufacturing scenarios, COSMOPlat integrates AI technology throughout the entire chain of R&D, production, operation and maintenance. On the R&D side, taking a home appliance interconnected factory selected as a world “lighthouse factory” as a typical example, an AIGC virtual design assistant was introduced. Based on massive user preference data and an expert design asset library, it generated core solutions for three-drum washing machines. By simulating inner drum operation scenarios in advance to construct a dynamic balance optimization model, it solved the industry pain point of “collisions and interference” during multi-drum operation at the source; on the production side, the injection molding industrial intelligent agent, through deep learning of injection molding professional knowledge, equipment operation data, and process data, etc., precipitated the debugging methods that previously existed only in the minds of process technicians into various intelligent algorithms, ultimately forming professional injection molding knowledge Q&A and automated process parameter recommendation capabilities, building the most powerful “industrial brain” in the field of injection molding.In the energy sector, COSMOPlat’s energy-carbon model (COSMOMind for energy-carbon) is the first energy-carbon model originating from sustainable lighthouse factory practices. Based on this model, COSMOPlat offers enterprises and industrial park users an Energy-Carbon Management Platform and end-to-end smart-energy solutions, helping customers lower energy cost, improve utilization and advance green manufacturing. These cross-industry and multi-scenario success stories strongly demonstrate the practical effectiveness and replicability of COSMOPlat’s AI solutions.From an industrial cycle perspective, as the manufacturing system grows increasingly complex and cost and efficiency constraints intensify, enterprises' demand for end-to-end digital and intelligent transformation will continue to rise, ensuring long-term certainty in industry development.COSMOPlat has pioneered the “space-air-ground integrated” technology system centered on large industrial models, with intelligent agents deeply embedded in production processes. This delivers a closed loop of perception, decision-making, and execution. Through multi-industry and multi-scenario validation, it demonstrates that AI possesses the capability to continuously generate industrial value. As application scenarios continue to expand, intelligent agents scale up, and the data flywheel effect intensifies, COSMOPlat is poised to translate its technological leadership into heightened platform stickiness and greater value per customer. Riding the wave of digital transformation, it is unlocking greater potential for value growth. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

Everest Medicines Announces China NMPA Approval of VELSIPITY(R) for Adults with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis ACN Newswire

Everest Medicines Announces China NMPA Approval of VELSIPITY(R) for Adults with Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

HONG KONG, Feb 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines today announced that China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved VELSIPITY(R) (etrasimod arginine tablets) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response, lost response, or were intolerant to either conventional therapy or a biologic agent.UC is a chronic, relapsing, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease. In China, the incidence and prevalence of UC are accelerating, with a clear trend toward younger patients. The patient population is projected to increase from approximately 0.98 million in 2025 to 1.50 million by 2031.There remains a critical need for therapies that offer sustained and comprehensive disease control.As a next-generation selective S1P receptor modulator, VELSIPITY(R) offers the potential for rapid onset of action, and long-lasting clinical remission and mucosal healing through an oral, once-daily regimen for adult patients with moderately to severely active UC.The approval was based on results from the Asian multicenter Phase 3 ENLIGHT UC study (ES101002) and the global ELEVATE UC Phase 3 program (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12). The ENLIGHT UC study is the largest Phase 3 trial of moderately to severely active UC in Asia completed to date, with 340 eligible subjects randomized to treatment with VELSIPITY(R) or placebo. The study results showed that, VELSIPITY(R) demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints during both the 12-week induction period and the 40-week maintenance period. The safety profile of VELSIPITY(R) was consistent with previous studies, with no new safety signals observed. The study confirms the efficacy and safety of VELSIPITY(R) in this population, with results published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology.From a clinical value perspective,VELSIPITY(R) is a once-daily oral therapy with rapid onset of action, strong mucosal healing efficacy, and a favorable safety profile. Prof. Chen Minhu, Academic Leader and Chief Expert of the Department of Gastroenterology at The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University noted that UC is rapidly increasing in China and follows a relapsing course that significantly impairs quality of life and places a substantial burden on both patients and the healthcare system. Achieving mucosal healing is a widely recognized treatment goal in clinical guidelines, as it improves symptom control, reduces relapse risk, and supports long-term disease management.“UC treatment in China has long faced limited efficacy, high relapse rates, safety concerns, and inconvenient dosing. Despite available biologics and small-molecule therapies, unmet clinical needs persist,” said Prof. Wu Kaichun of the First Affiliated Hospital of AFMU, principal investigator of VELSIPITY(R)’s Asian clinical trial. “Its approval represents an important milestone and validation, providing patients with a novel treatment option and advancing UC management.”“Autoimmune diseases have long-term impacts on patients worldwide, with significant unmet clinical needs persisting both in China and globally,” said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “The approval of VELSIPITY(R) underscores the clinical value of innovative therapies for UC and reflects Everest Medicines’ sustained commitment to advancing drug development in line with international R&D standards. We look forward to expanding our global reach and providing patients with broader access to innovative treatment options.”“Its approval in China addresses a critical unmet medical need and introduces a novel oral therapy promoting deep mucosal healing,” said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “We are committed to rapidly commercializing VELSIPITY(R) and working toward its inclusion in the National Reimbursement Drug List to further expand patient access and affordability, benefiting more patients across China.”The clinical value of VELSIPITY(R) has been recognized in leading international clinical guidelines. Following its inclusion in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Guideline in December 2024 as a first-line treatment for ulcerative colitis , VELSIPITY(R) was also included in the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Clinical Guideline Update in June 2025, with strong recommendations supporting its use for both induction and maintenance of remission in patients with moderately to severely active UC. In 2024, VELSIPITY(R) was included in the Catalogues of Guangdong Province on Drugs and Medical Devices from Hong Kong and Macao in Urgent Clinical Use in Nine Mainland Municipalities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, making it available at designated hospitals across the region. The localized production project for VELSIPITY(R) was launched at the Jiashan manufacturing site in March 2025, supporting its future commercialization in China.The successful approval of VELSIPITY(R) further strengthens Everest Medicines’ product portfolio in the field of autoimmune diseases and also forms a critical part of the 2030 strategy of the Company. This strategy is built on a dual-engine model of business development partnerships and in-house R&D, aiming to generate predictable value through commercialization while building long-term growth momentum through sustained innovation, thereby supporting pipeline continuity and sustainable development.The Company has established a portfolio of three commercial products and continues to develop a fully integrated commercial platform covering the entire product lifecycle.The Company targets annual revenue exceeding RMB10 billion by 2028, and RMB15 billion by 2030 (including approximately RMB9 billion from the existing pipeline and approximately RMB6 billion from newly in-licensed assets). Revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50% from 2025 to 2030 and to remain above 15% thereafte.Over the same period, the number of commercial products is expected to exceed 20, including NEFECON(R), VELSIPITY(R), XERAVA(R), Lerodalcibep and MT1013.Industry observers widely expect VELSIPITY(R) to become Everest's next blockbuster product, with analysts projecting peak sales of up to RMB 5 billion. As VELSIPITY(R) realizes its commercial potential, Everest's revenue mix and growth trajectory are expected to strengthen further. Looking ahead, Everest Medicines will continue to focus on therapeutic areas with significant unmet clinical needs. Leveraging its established commercialization capabilities and in-house R&D, the company aims to accelerate the launch of innovative therapies with global competitiveness, drive sustainable growth, and create greater health value for patients and society.

Banle Group Hosts Inaugural ESG Forum with Industry Leaders, Pioneering Green Shipping Solutions Amid Global Decarbonization Push ACN Newswire

Banle Group Hosts Inaugural ESG Forum with Industry Leaders, Pioneering Green Shipping Solutions Amid Global Decarbonization Push

HONG KONG, Feb 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Banle Group (“Banle” or the “Group”), a leading Asia-Pacific marine fuel logistics provider, hosted its landmark inaugural ESG Forum — "Charting the New Horizon: Powering Green Shipping with Sustainable Fuels" — uniting top maritime executives, financiers, legal experts, and climate scientists to address the shipping industry's urgent decarbonization challenges on February 2.Speaker Lineup Tackles Critical IssuesThe forum featured exclusive insights from:Dr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of Banle GroupMs. Karen Cheah Yee-Lynn, Independent Director of Banle Group, Partner of Chooi & Company, Immediate Past President of the Malaysian Bar and EXCO Member of LAWASIAMr.Matt Liu Ming-Hsuan, SVP Capital Solutions, Cathay United BankDr.Wilson Cheung Wai-yin, Polar Explorer, Glaciologist and Policy Advisor, Polar Research and Expedition ConsultancyMs.Rebecca Zhang, Senior Manager Sustainable Finance, Commercial Banking, Hong Kong, HSBCThe forum served as a dynamic platform for thought leadership and dialogue, featuring a series of presentations addressing critical topics such as the impact of climate change on global shipping, evolving sustainability-related regulations, and innovative green and sustainability-linked financing solutions.Dr.Teck Lim Chia addressed in the keynote speech, “The global shipping industry stands at a pivotal moment. Rapid regulatory changes, geopolitical tensions, climate challenges, and technological advancements are reshaping the landscape at unprecedented speed. Yet, we are dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where stakeholders can come together to share insights and develop strategies for a more sustainable future.”On the forum, Ms.Karen Cheah talked about how ESG has become a legal, economic, and moral imperative to safeguard planetary health – and how governments, businesses, courts, and capital markets at an international level must work together holistically to turn sustainability from aspiration into measurable action. She said, “We must establish planetary health metrics to track environmental, health, and risk impacts on all of us. This requires not only a measurement to gauge our progress but also a strategic plan to communicate these metrics, drive global awareness, and educate society at large. Moreover, we must integrate these metrics into governance structures at organizational, domestic, national, and international levels. We must engage in responsible business practices aligned with ESG components and ensure a robust framework for planetary health is implemented globally. Once we align collectively, we can systemize this framework for lasting impact.”Mr.Matt Liu shared his insight on integrating ESG features into financing strategies, “Green loans excel when companies have a clear, specific investment plan. Sustainability-Linked Loans (SLLs) operate under a distinct logic: their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) must reflect material sustainability issues, be measurable, traceable, and independently verifiable. Crucially, Sustainability Performance Targets (SPTs) must balance ambition with feasibility, remaining achievable within the company’s operational capacity. Unlike green loans, SLLs do not restrict proceeds to green activities; instead, they demonstrate sustainability commitment through performance-linked financial mechanisms. Beyond loans and bonds, nearly all liability-style financial products can now integrate green or sustainability elements. This flexibility allows companies to align financing with sustainability goals while maintaining operational practicality, driving both environmental progress and financial innovation.”Dr.Wilson Cheung addressed his dedication to geoscientific education and advocacy, and talked about the responsible opportunities for the shipping industry, “Responsible opportunities in the shipping industry begin with recognising that the Arctic is not only a shortcut, but also a living homeland and a fragile climate regulator for the planet. New polar sea routes can reduce transit time and fuel use, yet they cross waters where infrastructure is scarce, ecosystems are vulnerable, and Indigenous communities depend on sea ice for culture and survival. True leadership means investing in cleaner fuels, ice-class vessels, and robust search-and-rescue capacity, while strictly limiting black carbon emissions and respecting international polar regulations. It also means listening to local knowledge that has guided safe travel on ice for thousands of years and integrating that wisdom with modern science and satellite data. If the industry embeds ESG principles into every Arctic voyage, these emerging routes can become a model of responsible innovation rather than a new frontier of unchecked risk.”Ms.Rebecca Zhang shared recent shipping industry transition trends from a sustainable finance perspective: “Regulations are constantly evolving, and so must global efforts to tackle climate change and make maritime transport more sustainable. Innovative solutions are emerging, and shipowners are exploring alternative energy options such as biofuels, bio-LNG, and bio-gas. The development of clean technologies is accelerating the industry’s systemic shift towards sustainability.”The forum concluded with a lively and interactive networking among participants, who exchanged ideas and reaffirmed their collective commitment to advancing sustainable practices throughout the shipping industry.Banle Group's sustainability leadership by example through its operational practices was prominently showcased, highlighting its ongoing efforts to spearhead industry decarbonization and responsible practices. Through initiatives like its participation in the EcoVadis rating system and advocacy for diverse sustainable marine fuels, Banle continues to drive meaningful transformation across the shipping sector.Looking ahead, the Banle Group remains committed to hosting future forums that foster dialogue, innovation, and collaboration for a more sustainable maritime ecosystem.Dr.Teck Lim Chia added: "This is just the beginning. Banle will continue driving practical decarbonization solutions for our industry and clients."For more information about Banle Group and its sustainability initiatives, please visit www.banle-intl.com.Photo Caption 1: Dr. Teck Lim Chia (centre) presented souvenirs to all speakers and panelists as a token of appreciation.Photo Caption 2: Panelists engaged in a discussion on the theme: “Charting the New Horizon: Powering Green Shipping with Sustainable Fuels”.

Everest Medicines Announces Exclusive License Agreement with Micot to Commercialize MT1013 ACN Newswire

Everest Medicines Announces Exclusive License Agreement with Micot to Commercialize MT1013

Shanghai, January 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, "Everest", or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Shaanxi Micot Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (“Micot”) to commercialize MT1013, the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) as its leading indication, in China and Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan).According to the agreement, Everest Medicines will pay Micot an upfront payment of RMB 200 million and potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to RMB 1,040 million. MT1013 has entered Phase III clinical trial in China and the relevant development expenses will be covered by Micot. The strategic collaboration is expected to complement Everest Medicines’ existing renal pipeline and drive operating synergies, further strengthen the Company’s commercial product portfolio, and solidify its leading position in renal and autoimmune diseases in Asia, which are key therapeutic areas of focus. The collaboration will also expand the Company’s nephrology portfolio from IgA nephropathy to a broader range of chronic kidney diseases (CKD).MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide internally developed by Micot. The Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Annual Meeting. MT1013 uniquely combines the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and the osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) receptor, addressing imbalances in parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and phosphate metabolism. This innovative dual mechanism allows MT1013 to control SHPT and related bone metabolism disorders at the source, and to actively promote bone formation and repair through direct activation of osteogenic pathways, representing a therapeutic innovation shift from indirect inhibition of bone resorption to active stimulation of bone formation.Clinical studies have demonstrated that MT1013 acts rapidly, with strong and durable efficacy, and has a favorable safety profile in patients with CKD on maintenance hemodialysis with SHPT. It has shown potential advantages over current therapies in achieving comprehensive endpoints, including control of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), serum calcium, and phosphate levels, as well as improving calcium-phosphate balance and offering potential cardiovascular benefits. MT1013 is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial in China for this patient population, with over 50% of the target enrollment already achieved. SHPT is one of the most common and serious complications in patients with CKD. It causes disturbances in calcium and phosphate metabolism, elevated PTH levels, bone disorders, and vascular calcification, which substantially increase the risk of fractures, cardiovascular events, and mortality. SHPT is therefore an important factor influencing outcomes and prognosis in patients with CKD. With the global prevalence of CKD continuing to rise, the unmet medical need for effective SHPT therapies is also growing. Data indicate that the global population of patients with CKD has increased from 905.2 million in 2019 to 1.0655 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed 1.2 billion by 2030 and 1.5 billion by 2035. Over the same period, the number of patients with SHPT has also continued to rise and is expected to reach approximately 189.9 million by 2030 and 221.7 million by 2035, highlighting a substantial and growing unmet medical need.“We are very pleased to collaborate with Micot. As the global burden of chronic kidney disease continues to rise, addressing patients’ unmet needs remains a top priority.,” said Mr. Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “MT1013 represents an innovative asset with the potential to expand treatment options for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Through this partnership, we aim to leverage our expertise in autoimmune-related kidney disorders while broadening our renal portfolio to include additional diseases, including glomerulonephritis and complications associated with dialysis. Looking ahead, we will jointly advance the development and commercialization of MT1013 to bring innovative treatment options to a broader population of patients with kidney disease.”“We are delighted to enter into this strategic collaboration with Everest Medicines. Everest’s deep expertise in nephrology and established commercialization capabilities make it an ideal partner to bring MT1013 to patients in China and beyond,” said Dr. Bing Wang, Founder, Chairman, and President of Micot. “MT1013 is a pivotal achievement of our peptide technology platform and a key milestone in our commitment to advancing innovative therapies for chronic diseases. Its unique dual-targeting mechanism has the potential to deliver meaningful advances in the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. We look forward to working closely with Everest to accelerate clinical development and commercialization, address critical unmet medical needs, and advance care for patients with kidney disease.”MT1013 has completed its pivotal Phase II clinical trial, which demonstrated robust and sustained iPTH suppression in patients with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. In head-to-head comparisons with etelcalcetide, MT1013 showed advantages in comprehensive disease management, achieving higher rates of simultaneous control of iPTH, serum calcium, and phosphate, as well as greater reductions in phosphate and the cardiovascular risk marker FGF-23. Over 52 weeks of treatment, MT1013 also resulted in significant improvements in bone mineral density and bone metabolism markers, supporting the potential clinical benefits of its unique dual-target mechanism in both disease management and bone health.Building on these positive results, the Phase II data were presented orally and in a Late-Breaking session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology Annual Meeting. MT1013 has now advanced into a confirmatory Phase III clinical trial in China with cinacalcet as the active comparator. The Phase III study has been launched across more than 100 sites nationwide, aiming to enroll approximately 424 patients, specifically targeting individuals with SHPT undergoing maintenance hemodialysis due to chronic kidney disease.About MT1013MT1013 is the world’s first-in-class dual-targeting receptor agonist polypeptide that simultaneously targets the Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) and the Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) receptor and is primarily developed with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism as its leading indication and is planned to expand into additional indications including Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) with Osteoporosis and SHPT not on Dialysis. MT1013 completed its Phase II clinical trial (MT1013-II-C01) for the treatment of SHPT in May 2025 and has entered a Phase III clinical trial using Cinacalcet as the active comparator.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative pharmaceutical products that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in global markets.
