Highlights:Drill hole CS25-027 encountered seven (7) spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 179.6 metres (m), followed by two additional intervals of 58 m and 91.8 m of continuous spodumene pegmatite.Drill hole CS25-024/24A intersected a total of six (6) individual spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 39.5 m.Drill hole CS25-025 encountered nine (9) spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 20.4 m.Drill hole CS25-026 encountered 10 spodumene pegmatite intervals, with the widest continuous interval of 21.2 m.Assays are pending on the approximately 2,570 m of core drilled in the first four (4) holes completed to date in the winter drill campaign at the Cisco Project.Drilling continues with step outs to both the east and south.Vancouver, BC, Mar 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of the first four holes of the winter 2025 expansion drilling campaign at the Company's Cisco Lithium Project (the "Project" or the "Cisco Project"), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada.Multiple wide intercepts of continuous spodumene pegmatite were encountered within a total of 2,570 metres of drilling completed to date, significantly increasing the extent of previously encountered mineralization (see Figure 1). All holes intercepted pegmatites with visual indications of spodumene mineralization identified."We are extraordinarily pleased with these initial findings from our winter campaign which has not only produced one of our top holes in terms of the total amount of spodumene pegmatite per hole, but continues to provide important information about the mineralization at Cisco," said Q2 Metals President and CEO Alicia Milne. "We are continuing to explore the robust and continuous nature of Cisco's mineralization with additional step outs to both the south and east.""The first four holes of the winter drill program have expanded the strike length of the mineralized system and has confirmed that it continues to extend to the south, further increasing Cisco's potential scale," said Q2 VP Exploration Neil McCallum. "Hole-27, with 179.6 metres of continuous spodumene pegmatite, plus an additional 58 and 91.8 metres of continuous spodumene pegmatite, lends further support to our theory of a south-trending mineralized system, which now extends over a kilometre."Figure 1. Map of Drilling area, Cisco ProjectWinter 2025 Exploration Program OverviewThe current 2025 Winter Program is targeting 6,000 - 8,000 m of drilling with 200 - 400 m step outs with the primary objective of expanding upon the exceptionally promising drill results from the inaugural 2024 campaign, which included:Drill hole CS-24-018 - 215.6 m at 1.69% Li 2 O;Drill hole CS-24-021 - 347.1 m at 1.35% Li 2 O; andDrill hole CS-24-023 - 188.6 m at 1.56% Li 2 O.One diamond drill rig tested to the southwest of drill hole CS-24-023 to define the strike length:Drill hole CS25-025 was collared approximately 275 m south of hole CS24-023; andDrill hole CS25-027 is located 200 m southeast of hole CS25-025.This fence of holes was designed to test the southward extension of the large and wide mineralized system and did so successfully with hole CS25-027's widest continuous interval of 179.6 m of spodumene-bearing pegmatite.One diamond drill rig tested to the east of drill holes CS-24-018 and CS-24-021 to define potential additional parallel pegmatite zones:Drill hole CS25-024A was drilled as a follow-up to hole CS25-024 which was lost due to difficult drilling conditions. It was collared approximately 400 m southeast of hole CS24-022; andDrill hole CS25-026 was collared approximately 400 m from CS24-021 and 285 m north of hole CS25-024A.Drilling remains ongoing, with step outs continuing both east and south.Figure 2. Drill Rig Locations at the Cisco Lithium ProjectSummary of Spodumene-Bearing Pegmatite IntervalsThe pegmatite intervals (greater than 2 m) of drill holes CS-25-024A to 027 are reported below in detail (Table 1).Table 1. Summary of Spodumene-Pegmatite Intervals, Cisco ProjectThe mineralized intervals in all the holes are not necessarily representative of the true width and the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Cautionary Statement: The presence of pegmatites does not confirm the presence of lithium (spodumene or other lithium minerals). Pegmatites are fractionated coarse grained igneous rocks commonly associated with lithium mineralization; however, many pegmatites do not contain mineralization. The presence of any mineralization can only be confirmed with assaying.The geological team has completed the core cutting and logging of holes CS25-024/24A to CS25-027 and the samples have been dispatched to the SGS Canada preparation laboratory located in Val-d'Or, QC for mineral analysis to confirm the presence of lithium.Figure 3. Core from the Current Drill Program at Cisco Lithium ProjectSampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAll drilling was conducted using diamond drill rig with NQ sized core and all drill core samples are shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade will be multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Drill Hole Collar InformationThe summary of drill holes completed to date, including basic location and dip/azimuth is detailed below (Table 2).Coordinates are in UTM NAD83, zone 18All holes are NQ-Size diamond drill coreAzimuth and dip are reported as planned, and will deviate down-holeReported hole depths are subject to minor changes based on final core observationsTable 2.

香港, 2025年3月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 亨得利控股有限公司（「亨得利」或「公司」及其子公司「集團」，股票編號：3389）宣佈截至2024年12月31日止12個月（「回顧年內」）之全年業績。2024年，國際環境錯綜複雜，地緣政治衝突、區域性戰亂及貿易保護主義愈演愈烈，世界經濟增長動能依然偏弱。於中國而言，經濟總量實現了新的突破，但風險隱患仍然較多。面對複雜的環境，本集團秉承「行穩致遠」的原則，順應市場調整業務，保生存、求發展，努力維護股東的利益。截至2024年12月31日止，本集團收入錄得1,043,555,000元（人民幣，下同；（2023年12月31日：1,421,454,000元），較去年同期下降了26.6%；高端消費配套業務等收入為688,104,000元（2023年12月31日：710,708,000元），較去年同期下降3.2%，大宗商品貿易收入為355,451,000元（2023年12月31日：710,746,000元），較去年同期下降50.0%。集團年度錄得虧損約55,472,000元（2023年12月31日：溢利35,191,000元），股東應佔虧損約為65,161,000元（2023年12月31日：溢利33,885,000元）。虧損的的主要原因是：銷售及毛利下降，物業、廠房、設備的折舊費用上升及匯率波動導致營運單位產生外匯兌換虧損等。回顧年度內，中國經濟壓力承重，集團的高端消費配套業務受到了一定的影響。但集團採取多種措施應對複雜的經營環境，取得了較為明顯的成效。年度內，高端消費配套業務的銷售雖然有些許下降，但利潤較去年同期仍有良好的提升。回顧年度內，集團的大宗商品國際貿易業務主要為鐵礦石、動力煤及焦煤向中國內地的進口。受國際、國內經濟環境的影響，鐵礦需求走弱，礦砂及煤炭等產品的市場價格波動較大，致集團的國際大宗商品貿易額及利潤較去年同期均有所下降。年度內，集團計劃於墨西哥建設一個集清關、進口、運輸、倉儲於一體的大宗貨物中轉物流園區，致力於服務中國大型企業。2024年全球乾散海運市場整體波動增長。集團緊抓市場上漲時機，大力拓展業務。年度內，集團成功開發了中國國家能源集團、澳洲兖礦、天元錳業集團、印度鋼鐵管理局有限公司、印度安塞樂米塔爾集團等一系列國內外知名大型礦山、電力和鋼鐵企業。在深耕傳統運輸航線外，首次開闢土耳其至中國鋁礬土運輸航線，並簽訂了長期運輸協議。本年度，集團海運業務收入與利潤均取得了良好的成績。當前，於全球來看，政治動盪不安趨勢明顯，經營環境依然複雜嚴峻。而中國內地經濟運行除了外部環境變化帶來的不利影響外，自身發展也面臨一定的困難和挑戰。但是，中國經濟基礎穩、韌性強、潛能大，長期向好的支撐條件和基本趨勢沒有變相信中國內地經濟發展動能會持續增強，發展態勢將持續向好。新的一年，本集團仍將堅持「行穩致遠、持續經營」之原則，背靠中國內地「穩中求進、以進促穩」的經濟發展環境，緊貼市場，謹慎而穩妥地繼續國際貿易的進程，並不斷擴充與加強與國際貿易密切相關的國際海運業務，努力成長，以冀成為國際海運供應鏈中較強的一員，實現企業突破性的發展。集團亦仍將順應市場需求，面向中國內地及國際雙市場，不斷提升商業空間一體化服務水平；調整高端名表配套產品的生產，同時展開有限多元化的業務進程，加強高端消費配套生產在珠寶、化妝品及手機等其他高端生活品領域的拓展，將商業空間美化服務擴充至生活空間美化服務領域等，繼而成為高端消費配套生態鏈中不可或缺的一個獨立環節。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

MALANG, E. JAVA, Indonesia, Mar 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science at Brawijaya University, Danung Nur Adli Spt., MSc., MPt, has developed an integrated chicken coop monitoring system to increase the potential productivity of broiler chickens. The system uses the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile apps.Malang, East Java - Danung Nur Adli (right), a Lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science at Brawijaya University, explains the functions of his IoT-based chicken coop temperature monitoring system. (ANTARA FOTO/ARI BOWO SUCIPTO)The innovation was initiated in 2019, when Danung began designing ways to use technology in traditional 'open' model chicken coops to develop the economic value of male chicks that are often viewed as waste. "We didn't know what to do with the male chicks. They were usually raised to be sold as broiler chickens," Danung said in Malang, East Java, on Friday. "We have designed a real-time technology service for chickens, whose goal is to increase the productivity of broiler chickens."Danung's IoT-based chicken coop is also designed as an alternative to more sophisticated technologies, such as the TempTron, a temperature and humidity control device. Given the high cost to build a TempTron, which is specifically designed to maintain the stability of temperature and humidity in a closed chicken coop or 'close' house, Danung decided to design his innovation for farmers who use traditional open-type coops to raise chicken."So, we designed a microcontroller, then a sensor that works using a modem to transmit data about temperature and humidity," he said. "Chickens eat less when the air temperature is high. This requires a quick decision. If too late, it can affect their immunity, raising the potential to get sick, while the increase in cells per body weight also decreases," he explained.The mechanism allows each farmer to get real-time data on the temperature and humidity in their chicken coops within an estimated two to three minutes via their mobile phone.  Using the data, farmers can immediately take corrective action. For example, if the air temperature is hot, they can provide drinking water or nutritional intake to their chickens.In 2024, Danung's system received a funding grant for further development from Brawijaya University. His design also caught the attention of Communication and Digital Affairs Minister Meutya Hafid when she visited the East Java campus some time ago.Currently, Danung's chicken coop system is being used at several farms in Malang Regency, such as in Karangploso and Singosari. The innovation for livestock has received a positive response from chicken farmers as well, especially those from the millennial generation.For marketing the system, Danung is collaborating with Luthfan Bayu Zulkarnaen, a colleague and co-founder of Pemiara.id, a supplier of male chickens. "Bayu also helps to report on temperature developments, and provides input on what corrective actions to take," Danung said.For more information please click: https://ub.ac.idBrawijaya University: https://prasetya.ub.ac.id Editor: Primayanti, Copyright (c) ANTARA 2025  Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

We had no aircraft or roadmap to follow. Everything was new because the pandemic had broken the aviation business operations boundaries. We re-created and customised our business operations and strategy model of being the first Premium Service Carrier based on the post-pandemic scenario,” Datuk Bernard explained.TransNusa launched its first international route between Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur in April, 2023, after which the airline successfully launched three more new international routes by the end of 2023.

香港, 2025年3月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 代謝相關脂肪性肝炎（MASH）已成為全球醫藥行業正在挖掘的潛力「富礦」- 2030年MASH市場規模將突破322億美元，患者人數超4.8億，至今FDA僅批准了一款藥物。MASH作為一種與代謝紊亂相關的肝臟疾病，表現為肝臟中脂肪異常堆積，並伴隨炎症和肝臟纖維化，可進展為肝硬化和肝細胞癌，是全球肝移植的主要病因，更顯著增加了心血管疾病的風險。隨著生活方式的改變，這個潛在的「健康殺手」早已隨肥胖、糖尿病等代謝問題一起悄然而快速地蔓延。這使得近年來代謝性肝病市場規模持續迅猛增長。近日，中國創新藥物醫學大會暨2025CMAC年會在蘇州召開，會議以"凝醫學新知、聚創新之力"為主題，匯聚行業精英和權威學者，共同探討創新藥物醫學的發展趨勢與挑戰。MASH作為近年來越來越受到大眾、醫學界和產業界關注的熱點疾病，大會專為此設主題分論壇：「MASH臨床藥物研發與創新技術：全球視野下的實踐與應用」。作為國內代謝疾病創新藥企代表，君聖泰醫藥創始人劉利平博士應邀出席，並做了《MASH臨床研究與市場機遇》的專題報告，同與會各專家分享交流。MASH賽場迎來關鍵賽點，多靶點、聯合機制成為趨勢2024年3月，Madrigal公司的Resmetirom獲批上市，成為FDA批准的首款MASH治療藥物，這一突破標誌著MASH藥物研發迎來關鍵破局點、邁入新階段。另一方面，MASH龐大的全球患者規模以及大眾對於代謝和健康的綜合改善訴求，使得Resmetirom遠未能解決龐大的治療需求與有限的治療手段之間的巨大矛盾。市場需要更能有效改善肝臟組織學，且為患者帶來綜合獲益的藥物。目前，多款MASH在研藥物已進入臨床後期，然而單一機制藥物往往難以兼顧MASH治療的多重需求：既改善肝臟脂肪變性，又抑制肝臟炎症及纖維化，同時為MASH關聯的代謝共病（如，糖尿病、肥胖、心血管疾病等）帶來治療獲益。因此，具備多靶點、多功能作用的創新療法正成為新的研發趨勢。君聖泰醫藥正是這一趨勢的領航者。其核心產品熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）是一款全球獨創的雙機制小分子藥物，兼具激活AMPK與抑制NLRP3炎症小體生成。代謝調節與抗炎兩種機制聯合互補，有利於從根本上恢復代謝健康，在改善肝臟代謝、抑制炎症及纖維化等方面展現出獨特的臨床優勢。這種雙管齊下的治療策略，為MASH患者提供了更全面的優選治療方案，在臨床中展現出差異化優勢。HTD1801雙機制「組合拳」出擊，在國際賽場獲認可HTD1801治療MASH的有效性已在臨床2a期研究被驗證，在MASH合併2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者中，HTD1801能顯著降低肝臟脂肪含量，並在改善肝損傷及血糖控制等方面表現優越。該臨床2a期研究結果已發表在全球頂級期刊Nature Communications上，結果顯示：- 經HTD1801治療后，MASH合併T2DM患者的肝臟脂肪含量顯著降低，降低幅度約為安慰劑組的3倍，同時多個肝損傷相關指標得到改善，提示HTD1801具有為肝臟帶來組織學上顯著獲益的潛力。- 經HTD1801治療后，可改善多個心血管代謝風險因素，對血糖、體重、LDL-C及甘油三酯等指標均有顯著改善，為患者帶來多維獲益。HTD1801多次亮相於國際頂級肝病大會，在2024年舉辦的歐洲肝臟研究學會年會（EASL）和美國肝病研究協會肝病年會（AASLD）上，展示了多項該2a期臨床試驗的事後分析，數據顯示：- HTD1801與「頂流藥物」GLP-1受體激動劑聯用，預計可為MASH合併T2DM的患者帶來降糖、降脂以及減輕體重的進一步獲益。- 改善致病根本：胰島素抵抗是MASH發生的「種子」，而在胰島素抵抗更嚴重的患者中，HTD1801帶來更大的治療獲益。- HTD1801具備高安全性，可成為慢性病（如MASH和T2DM）長期管理的理想選擇。此外，與FDA獲批藥物Resmetirom相比，HTD1801在血糖控制和減重方面表現出更優的治療效果。目前，HTD1801的2b期臨床試驗正在順利推進，已在2024年3月完成在中美兩地的患者入組，預計將在2025年公佈頂線數據。隨著MASH成為代謝病領域的新焦點，全球創新藥企正加速佈局，以多靶點、多功能創新療法為代表的新一代藥物正在逐步推進臨床。HTD1801憑藉其兼具能量穩態調節與抗炎作用的獨特機制和差異化臨床優勢，展現出廣闊的治療潛力。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年3月19日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日，雲頂新耀宣佈正式啟動伊曲莫德（VELSIPITY®）位於嘉善工廠的生產建設項目，以支持該藥物的本地化生產，進一步滿足中國及亞洲市場對潰瘍性結腸炎（UC）治療的需求。該項目總投資達7000萬元，預計投產後年產能可達5000萬片，供應範圍涵蓋中國大陸、中國香港、中國澳門、中國台灣、韓國及新加坡等市場。隨著潰瘍性結腸炎（UC）患者數量的持續增長，中國市場對創新療法的需求日益迫切。預計到2030年，中國潰瘍性結腸炎患者將增至約100萬，對更高效、安全、便捷的治療方案提出了更高要求。伊曲莫德是一款每日一次口服的一線先進療法，適用於中重度活動性UC患者，具有快速起效、臨床緩解、黏膜癒合及良好安全性等優勢。該藥物已在多個國家和地區獲批，並在2024年12月獲中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）正式受理新藥上市申請（NDA），此外已在中國香港獲得NDA受理，並納入粵港澳大灣區內地9市臨床急需進口港澳藥品醫療器械目錄，正式惠及內地患者。嘉善工廠自2022年投入運營以來，已建立先進的生產設施和完善的質量保障體系，並符合全球良好生產規範(GMP)標準認證。在政府的大力支持下，該基地不僅承擔伊曲莫德及其他創新藥的生產任務，還將作為雲頂新耀mRNA技術平台本地化的戰略支點，支持mRNA腫瘤及自免治療藥物的從研發到商業化全流程，進一步強化公司在創新藥物生產領域的核心競爭力。目前，雲頂新耀已成功本地化經過臨床驗證的自主研發mRNA技術平台，並在個性化腫瘤治療性疫苗（PCV）、腫瘤相關抗原疫苗（TAA）、免疫調節腫瘤疫苗和自體生成CAR-T四大方向實現全面佈局。在近期投資者交流會上，公司披露了最新的mRNA管線進展，公司自主研發的首款mRNA個性化腫瘤治療性疫苗EVM16已在北京大學腫瘤醫院完成首例患者給藥，EVM14及自體生成CAR-T項目亦取得重要的臨床前研究數據，進一步驗證了mRNA技術平台的潛力。雲頂新耀的mRNA技術平台依託深度學習的自研「妙算」系統(EVER-NEO-1)新抗原預測算法，能夠精准篩選高免疫原性肽段，優化mRNA疫苗抗原設計，提高免疫應答效果。經過四年多的持續優化，公司已成功迭代至第三代mRNA序列設計算法系統，其新抗原預測能力表現出行業領先水平，進一步夯實了雲頂新耀在mRNA創新藥物研發領域的技術壁壘。嘉善工廠生產建設項目的啟動，不僅彰顯了雲頂新耀對伊曲莫德市場前景的信心，也為公司其他創新藥的本地化供應奠定了基礎。通過全面提升生產和質量管理體系，雲頂新耀正在實現從研發、生產到商業化的全價值鏈條整合，進一步鞏固其成為亞洲領先的全球綜合性生物製藥公司。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

深圳, 2025年3月19日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 3月17日，康哲藥業發佈2024年度業績，公司全年實現營業收入人民幣74.69億元，同比下降6.8%；若全按藥品銷售收入計算，營業額為人民幣86.22億元，同比下降9.0%；實現淨利潤人民幣16.13億元，剔除相關資產減值損失計提後的正常化淨利潤為人民幣17.14億元。公告顯示，公司業績下滑主要受國采執行影響，三款未中標原研藥2024年收入同比下降28.8%至人民幣26.91億元（全按藥品銷售收入計算）。然而，對於公司而言，2024年既是挑戰中的「重塑之年」，更是光芒初現的「突破之年」。公司整體業績雖正經曆短期陣痛，但獨家藥、創新藥發展卻不乏亮點，潛力已初步顯現。公司2024年全按藥品銷售收入計算的獨家產品及創新產品營收達人民幣45.51億元，同比增長4.1%，占總營業額的比重達到52.8%。本年度公司累計5款創新藥進入商業化，但均處於早期市場導入階段，未來隨著已上市創新藥逐步鋪開大規模臨床應用、快速放量，以及儲備優質創新管線源源不斷獲批上市，公司將進入由獨家藥、創新藥驅動的高質量、可持續發展新週期。公告顯示，2024年康哲藥業遞交了重磅白癜風治療創新藥蘆可替尼乳膏等2款新藥的中國NDA，新增3項創新合作、3款醫美產品合作。截至2024年底，公司已儲備的短、中、長期創新管線總計近40項。此外，公司東南亞業務正蓄勢待發，本年度已推動超過 5 款創新藥遞交上市註冊申請，且聯營公司的新加坡工廠前序準備工作基本完成，即將全面開展藥品CDMO、銷售推廣業務，培育第二增長曲線。產品力為核心 夯實創新增長引擎作為深耕醫藥市場三十餘年、已推動多款在售藥品取得領先市場地位的藥品商業化龍頭，康哲藥業在佈局創新藥時也秉持著敏銳的市場洞察，以一線需求指導立項，優選全球FIC、BIC創新藥，其需符合「三好品種」篩選標準：具有學術差異化優勢、較大市場潛力與良好競爭格局、及綜合投資回報率高。從公司已上市的創新藥來看，5款產品或是較市場既有品種有明顯差異化優勢，或在細分領域填補了市場空白，因而能為患者提供有價值的創新治療方案。舉例來說，用於慢性腎臟病（CKD）患者降磷的維福瑞（蔗糖羥基氧化鐵咀嚼片）是經中國NMPA批准上市的首個鐵基-非鈣磷結合劑，並填補了國內12-18歲CKD4-5期或接受透析治療的CKD患兒的降磷治療用藥空白，根據全球多項臨床研究、真實世界研究資料（如發表在學術期刊International Urology and Nephrology、Clinical Nephrology的文獻）及產品中國說明書，與其他磷結合劑相比，服用維福瑞的患者平均日服藥片數減少了約50%，血磷達標率可提高95%；而益路取（替瑞奇珠單抗注射液）是一款靶向 IL-23p19亞基、治療中重度斑塊狀銀屑病的創新生物製劑，維持期只需每3個月給藥一次，憑藉其優異的長期療效、便捷的用藥週期和較好的安全性，有助於提升患者依從性。公司以優異的產品力為核心，並借助多年積累的豐富學術資源、推廣經驗，將有望實現已上市產品市場滲透力和品牌影響力的快速提升。公司目前處於NDA審評階段、有望於2025年上市的2款創新藥，蘆可替尼乳膏、德昔度司他片，均被認為具備高市場潛力。根據公告，蘆可替尼乳膏是截至目前美國FDA以及歐洲EMA批准的首個也是唯一一個局部 JAK 抑制劑白癜風複色產品，若成功上市，將為國內超千萬深受困擾、無對症藥物可用的白癜風患者帶來治療曙光。德昔度司他片用於治療非透析成人CKD患者的貧血，並採用口服給藥方式，中國III期臨床試驗結果顯示，其在有效性、安全性和耐受性方面均表現良好。數據顯示，我國CKD患者約有1.32億，貧血是其常見併發症之一，產品上市後有望進一步滿足CKD患者的貧血治療需求。此外，公司已儲備的、將於未來2至4年內獲批上市的創新管線中，也有多款市場關注度高、業內評估有望成為FIC與BIC的大品種，如用於卒中治療的注射用Y-3 、高選擇性小分子口服JAK1抑制劑povorcitinib（非節段型白癜風、化膿性汗腺炎）、URAT1抑制劑ABP - 671（痛風）、抗IL-4Rα人源化單抗注射液 MG-K10（特應性皮炎）、口服改良型新藥ZUNVEYL（阿爾茨海默病）等，可有力支撐公司未來業績的持續增長。值得關注的是，康哲藥業始終堅持「合作開發+自主研發」並舉的高效創新路徑，重視研發資源投入效益最大化。2018年至2024年，公司累計研發開支為人民幣43.5億元，占同期全按藥品銷售收入比重為7.6%，其中費用化研發投入為人民幣8.8億元，占同期全按藥品銷售收入的1.5%。公司通過較為審慎的研發投入，實現多個優質創新產品的成功立項、臨床開發與上市，創新投入產出效率極高。此外，2024年底公司銀行結餘及現金達人民幣37.07億元，為持續加碼創新、深耕前沿領域提供了充足保障。專科聚焦強化商業化體系 賦能產品價值釋放強產品力與高效商業化能力協同發力，是康哲藥業保持競爭優勢的關鍵。康哲藥業持續優化專科業務聚焦的商業化體系，形成以心腦血管/消化、皮膚/醫美、眼科為核心的專科深耕格局，已積累豐富的專業推廣網路和學術平台，為創新產品的成功商業化保駕護航。2021年起獨立運營的皮膚醫美業務公司「康哲美麗」，正成長為中國領先、專業聚焦皮膚健康的創新型醫藥企業。康哲美麗已構建起以皮膚處方藥為核心，並涵蓋皮膚學級護膚品、輕醫美產品的全產品矩陣。截至2024年底，其皮膚處方產品組合已全面覆蓋白癜風、銀屑病、AD、靜脈炎、靜脈曲張及化膿性汗腺炎等多種皮膚疾病；皮膚學級護膚品方面，專研敏感肌養護的「禾零舒緩產品系列」進一步完善，並新增「喜遼妥®壬二酸產品系列」，為痘肌修護提供全套解決方案；輕醫美業務方面，童顏針中國註冊申請已獲受理，並引入少女針、微晶瓷、脫細胞基質植入劑三款處於中國註冊性臨床階段的再生類產品，進一步完善輕醫美產品線。康哲美麗以多元的皮膚健康與美學產品矩陣，為不同皮膚健康需求人群提供全面、綜合解決方案。同一時期開始獨立運營的眼科業務公司「康哲維盛」則專注於眼科處方藥、醫療器械及耗材的開發與商業化。在中國，眼病患者數量龐大，且人口增長和老齡化導致眼科疾病負擔顯著上升。康哲維盛借助眼科領域專業產品組合、廣泛的網絡及渠道資源等，持續鞏固產品品牌力及學術地位，致力於成為中國領先的眼科藥械公司。截至2024年底，康哲藥業擁有約4,700名市場及推廣人員，推廣網絡覆蓋全國超5萬家醫院及醫療機構、約30萬家零售藥店。依託覆蓋廣泛的推廣網絡、執行高效的推廣團隊，公司圍繞已上市創新藥和核心獨家產品，動態優化市場策略、推動真實世界研究及上市後臨床研究，持續積累學術證據，強化產品學術影響力並加速轉化為市場價值。同時，本年度內公司強化院外市場覆蓋深度與廣度，並通過線上線下融合、多渠道協同，實現院外引流與患者獲益的雙向提升。以東南亞為起點 培育海外業務第二增長曲線在深耕中國市場的同時，康哲藥業加快國際化步伐，以東南亞為起點，借助當地對高性價比醫藥產品需求迅速增長這一有利契機，積極培育海外業務增長引擎，為公司長期、可持續增長注入新的動力。2024年，東南亞業務公司「康聯達健康」結合區域特徵與疾病譜特點，精准規劃產品組合與商業化路徑，多款產品的上市註冊取得階段性進展，為後續市場推廣與銷售落地奠定基礎。本年度內，康聯達健康獲得創新產品povorcitinib（選擇性小分子口服JAK1抑制劑，有望為相關自身免疫性和炎症性皮膚病患者帶來新的治療選擇）東南亞十一國的獨家許可權利。同時，康聯達健康亦積極推進蘆可替尼乳膏、益路取、萊芙蘭、維圖可、維福瑞等多款創新產品在東南亞及/或港澳台市場的上市註冊工作。其中，蘆可替尼乳膏已於澳門、香港獲批上市，用於治療白癜風；並已於新加坡、台灣市場遞交註冊申請。此外，康聯達健康與君實生物合作的特瑞普利單抗（抗PD-1單抗）也於本年度內遞交了馬來西亞、菲律賓、印尼、泰國、越南市場的註冊申請。CDMO業務方面，康哲藥業聯營公司PharmaGend位於新加坡大士的生產工廠已取得美國FDA的GMP認證，並順利完成新加坡HSA現場審計，將為全球藥企提供CDMO服務，同時也為康哲藥業海外生產的供應鏈安全提供有力保障。站在新征程的起點，康哲藥業以變應變、向新而行，堅定執行「創新驅動、效率優先、專科突破、全球佈局」戰略，重塑增長曲線，以更加多元、更有韌性的業務格局，邁向高質量發展的新階段，將為患者提供更多優質治療選擇，為股東創造長期穩定回報。康哲藥業免責與前瞻性聲明本新聞無意向您做任何產品的推廣，非廣告用途。本新聞不對任何藥品和醫療器械和/或適應症作推薦。若您想瞭解具體疾病診療信息，請遵從醫生或其他醫療衛生專業人士的意見或指導。醫療衛生專業人士作出的任何與治療有關的決定應根據患者的具體情況並遵照藥品說明書。由康哲藥業編制的此新聞不構成購買或認購任何證券的任何要約或邀請，不形成任何合約或任何其他約束性承諾的依據或加以依賴。本新聞由康哲藥業根據其認為可靠之資料及數據編制，但康哲藥業並無進行任何說明或保證、明述或暗示，或其他表述，對本新聞內容的真實性、準確性、完整性、公平性及合理性不應加以依賴。本新聞中討論的若干事宜可能包含涉及康哲藥業的市場機會及業務前景的陳述，該等陳述分別或統稱為前瞻性聲明。該等前瞻性聲明並非對未來表現的保證，存在已知及未知的風險、不明朗性及難以預知的假設。康哲藥業並不採納本新聞包含的第三方所做的任何前瞻性聲明及預測，康哲藥業對該等第三方聲明及預測不承擔責任。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

(“China BlueChem” or the “Company,” stock code: 3983), China’s largest chemical fertilizer central enterprise in both production capacity and production volume, has announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2024. In 2024, the Company realized a revenue of RMB11.946 billion. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to RMB 1.071 billion. The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of RMB0.1208 per share (tax inclusive) for 2024, representing a payout ratio of 52%.The Company’s profit declined in 2024 compared with 2023, since, firstly, its profit in 2023 included a one-time gain of RMB852 million from the disposal of 67% equity interest in its subsidiary, CNOOC Tianye (now renamed as New Material Company). Secondly, the Company’s production and sales of urea reduced due to concurrent maintenance work at three of its urea plants in 2024, as well as the significant weakening in the prices of urea and other products.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, Chairman and Executive Director of China BlueChem said, “In the past year, the chemical fertilizer industry as a whole has been under pressure, and  urea prices have fluctuated significantly. In the face of challenges, the Company has focused on three main areas: safe operation, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and market expansion, to optimize production management, strengthen cost control, and coordinate product marketing. During the reporting period, net profit attributable to owners of the Company was RMB1,071 million. In order to reward shareholders for their long-standing support, the Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of RMB0.1208 per share (tax inclusive) for the year 2024, representing a payout ratio of 52%, to enable our shareholders to share the results of the Company’s development.The Company has been committed to the green development strategy and consistently maintained a leading position in energy efficiency indicators. The methanol plant has been awarded the title of “Energy Efficiency Leader” by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation for 13 consecutive years, and our synthetic ammonia plant has been awarded the title of “Water Efficiency Leader” by the China Nitrogen Fertiliser Industry Association for five consecutive years. With the outstanding sustainable development practices, the Company has been awarded the “Industry Stewardship Champion” certification by the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA), and was the only domestic enterprise selected in 2024, demonstrating its global influence.In respect of production management, the Company continued to strengthen its management and control over production operations, resulting in consistently stable and optimal operation of production facilities with no accidents and issues in production safety throughout last year. The Company’s production facilities achieved the long-cycle operation target of “one 200-day period or two 100-day periods” for the year 2024. The Hainan Phase I methanol plant recorded a long-term operation period of 514 days, and the gasification plant of CNOOC Huahe recorded a long-term operation period of 510 days, breaking its own historical record and taking a leading position in the industry. The number of fatal accidents of employees and environmental pollution incidents has been “zero” for three consecutive years. The acrylonitrile project successfully passed the quality completion inspection with a passing rate of 100%. Benefiting from these achievements, during the year, the Company produced 1,918 thousand tonnes of urea, 855 thousand tonnes of phosphate and compound fertilizers, 1,438 thousand tonnes of methanol and 230 thousand tonnes of acrylonitrile and relating products.With regard to sales management, China BueChem has continued to strengthen market research and grasp market trends to enhance the effectiveness of its marketing efforts. In addition, the Company has continuously optimized the direct sales e-commerce platform for chemical fertilizers “CNOOC Huinongbao” to create a convenient and efficient environment for purchasing chemical fertilizers. It also expanded the product market and explored the applications of the methanol fuel. In 2024, the Company sold 1,888 thousand tonnes of urea, 1,426 thousand tonnes of methanol, 509 thousand tonnes of phosphate fertilizers, 295 thousand tonnes of compound fertilizers and 266 thousand tonnes of acrylonitrile and related products. During the year, it exported a total of 4 thousand tonnes of urea, 1,26 thousand tonnes of DAP, 9 thousand tonnes of methanol and 9 thousand tonnes of acrylonitrile.Looking ahead to 2025, the gap between domestic urea supply and demand still exists, and the urea market is expected to remain under pressure. The domestic supply of phosphate fertilizers is expected to be stable. Driven by factors such as the task of increasing grain production and the restorative growth of farmland area, the demand for phosphate fertilizer in China is expected to grow, and its market price is anticipated to remain stable. Methanol production capacity is projected to increase significantly compared with last year. At the same time, the planned capacity expansion of the downstream methanol operation will further increase the demand for methanol. Therefore, the methanol market may display a “boom in both supply and demand” trend. The pattern of overcapacity of domestic acrylonitrile industry is prominent. The ABS industry remains the main growth point for downstream demand, but the new demand is insufficient to absorb the excess capacity. Meanwhile, the global economy has entered a normal state of slow growth, and the export of acrylonitrile may still face certain resistance. Besides, the Hainan Free Trade Port policy provides strategic opportunities for the Company to deploy logistics and international trade.Mr. HOU Xiaofeng, Chairman & Executive Director of China BlueChem said, "In 2025, the Company will focus on three directions of development. Firstly, it will establish the quality positioning of “Plant Nutrition Solution Provider”. Secondly, it will develop a new chemical materials industry system centered on “carbon-rich gas-based”, “biomass-based” and “phosphorus resource-based”, and thirdly, it will explore comprehensive utilization projects for overseas natural gas resources, expanding room for international development.”“In future, the Company will consistently uphold the stability of national food security supply and enhance shareholder value returns. It will continuously consolidate the Company’s dual peaks in both production capacity and output among all central state-owned enterprises in the fertilizer sector, setting a benchmark for the industry.” Mr. HOU Xiaofeng concluded.About China BlueChemical Ltd.China BlueChemical Ltd.
