SHENZHEN, CHINA, Aug 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 18 August, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Company”) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), with both revenue and profit recording year-on-year growth, demonstrating the initial results of its strategic transformation. During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB4.00 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.8%. In the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company, revenue would be approximately RMB4.67 billion, up 8.9% year-on-year. Net profit was approximately RMB0.93 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year.The results reflect that CMS has emerged from the shadow of National Volume-based Procurement (“National VBP”), and its performance is expected to return to a sustainable growth trajectory. Revenue from the Company’s key non-National VBP exclusive/branded products and innovative products (in the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company) reached approximately RMB2.90 billion, up 20.6% year-on-year, accounting for 62.1% of total revenue. The company's exclusive/branded products and innovative products have a favorable competitive landscape and high visibility of future growth, and have now become the main drivers of performance growth.According to the interim results announcement, the company has been planning its “New CMS” blueprint since 2018, anchored on the three strategic pillars of “product innovation, commercial model reform, and international expansion” to build a sustainable second growth curve. By the first half of 2025, solid operating results and the steady delivery of innovation outcomes have confirmed that the Company’s strategic upgrade has been gradually translated into tangible achievements.“New Products” Strategy Drives Innovation Value Realization and Solidifies Growth MomentumAt the forefront of the Company’s three strategic pillars, the “product innovation” strategy leverages a three-dimensional innovation mechanism of “overseas licensing, domestic collaboration, and in-house R&D” to continuously inject high-value short-, medium- and long-term pipelines, serving as a key growth engine. Currently, the innovation strategy has entered a period of continuous harvest, with new products continuously releasing commercial and clinical value.To date, the Company has successfully commercialized five innovative drugs in China; By 2025, two innovative products — ruxolitinib cream and Desidustat Tablets—are also expected to receive marketing approvals. Ruxolitinib cream is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo, and is expected to become the first approved treatment for vitiligo in China, filling a market gap and bringing new hope to Chinese vitiligo patients. Additionally, the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Alzheimer’s disease drug ZUNVEYL in China was accepted in July this year; the consumer healthcare product Poly-L-lactic Acid Microparticle Filler Injection has been approved for marketing, further enriching the Company’s diversified product portfolio.Among the innovative pipeline under R&D, several blockbuster candidates have entered the late-stage clinical development in China and are expected to be commercialized within the next one to three years, forming a new driving force for sustained growth.Among these, the collaborative product Y-3 for Injection has completed Phase III clinical trials in China. This product is an original unimolecular Class 1 innovative drug and the only non-peptide PSD95/nNOS uncoupler that has entered clinical development, with potential to become the first dual-function brain cytoprotectant for treating ischemic stroke while preventing post-stroke depression and anxiety. Another oral small molecule Class 1 innovative drug, ABP-671 (a URAT1 inhibitor) for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, is progressing through Phase IIb/III clinical trials in China. Compared with existing mainstream drugs, ABP-671 has the potential to reduce uric acid to lower levels at lower doses and possesses gout-tophus dissolution capability, thereby offering patients a more effective and safer treatment option.CMS continues to expand its innovative pipeline and enhance its end-to-end innovation capabilities to ensure the steady, phased marketing approval of innovative products. In H1 2025, two new collaborative R&D innovative products — ZUNVEYL and MG-K10 (a long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection) — were added to the portfolio. To date, the Company has deployed about 40 differentiated innovative pipeline products, including approximately 20 in-house R&D projects.Advancing “New Models” and “New Markets” Strategies to Unlock Multi-dimensional GrowthAccording to the interim results announcement, CMS continues to advance its “New Models — Commercial Model Reform” strategy, forging anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem. It also firmly implements its “New Markets - International Expansion” strategy, building a multi-dimensional growth framework via an industrial internationalization model.Under the commercial model reform strategy, the Company continues to focus on specialty therapeutic fields while expanding into new retail and new media channels, building a comprehensive marketing and promotion system that covers both “in-hospital + out-of-hospital” and “online + offline” channels, and reinforcing its diversified product portfolio with consumer attributes. Its skin health business, Dermavon, has demonstrated strong potential in this particular segment with consumer attributes. Since its independent operation in 2021, Dermavon has achieved dual leadership in both the “coverage of dermatology indications” and the “revenue scale of dermatological prescription drugs”, and is proposed to be spun off and separately listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction and distribution in specie, to further unlock its standalone value and high-growth potential.In terms of internationalization, CMS successfully completed its secondary listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange by way of introduction on 15 July 2025, marking a new milestone in its “industrial internationalization” strategy. With Singapore as a hub, the Company has established a comprehensive business system covering the entire value chain of “R&D–Manufacturing–Commercialization” for emerging markets. To date, its commercial platform company, Rxilient, has cumulatively submitted nearly 20 registration applications for pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Region, covering therapeutic fields such as dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. Ruxolitinib cream (vitiligo indication) has been approved for marketing in Macau and Hong Kong, and its registration applications have been submitted in Singapore and Taiwan Region. Intravenous Toripalimab (the first China-originated anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drug that has been approved by the China NMPA and the U.S. FDA) has been submitted for registration in five countries, including Malaysia. Tildrakizumab Injection and Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets have also been approved for marketing in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, PharmaGend, an associate CDMO manufacturing facility in which CMS holds a 45.0% equity interest, now has an annual production capacity of 1 billion units of oral solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules), and has obtained a drug manufacturing license from Singapore’s HSA, U.S. FDA cGMP certification, and passed Swiss QP audits. The construction of new production lines for nasal sprays, creams, and injectables is progressing steadily, providing high-standard production and delivery capabilities for the international market.Looking ahead, the growth logic of “New CMS” is expected to accelerate its realization, with profitability and performance resilience improving simultaneously. The Company is building a growth framework centered on differentiated innovation, driven by a synergistic and diversified ecosystem, and underpinned by an international footprint. This will open up long-term opportunities for high-quality development, deliver quality pharmaceutical products and services to patients worldwide, and generate sustainable returns for shareholders.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

SINGAPORE, Aug 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A 2022 survey from Vanson Bourne revealed that around 91%1 of respondents saw increased demand for automation from business teams. As AI technology evolves, that demand will only grow. AI automations can help organizations work smarter at every level. But how exactly do these workflows function? This article unpacks what AI workflow automation is and how it works behind the scenes.What is AI workflow automation?AI workflow automation is the use of artificial intelligence to automate complex, multi-step tasks that typically require human decision-making. While rule-based automation may rely on rigid instructions, AI automation adapts to data patterns. It learns over time and can flexibly handle unstructured input like emails, documents, or customer requests.AI workflow tools can understand, decide, and act based on context. These tools can help streamline processes and reduce manual effort while improving speed and accuracy.How do AI workflows function?AI workflows function by connecting a series of intelligent tasks or steps to complete a goal from start to finish. The specific tasks can vary depending on the use case. Some workflows may be entirely automated, while some may require human input. Let's take a closer look at some core components that power AI workflows.Machine learning (ML)Machine learning models can make predictions, identify problems, or find patterns. Machine learning has many uses in a workflow including classifying documents or prioritizing tasks. ML acts as the "decision engine", helping automate steps that would otherwise require manual analysis or classification.Natural language processing (NLP)NLP allows AI systems to understand and interpret human language for seamless communication. It's a crucial component in workflows that involve text, speech, or communication. For example, NLP can automatically extract key data from emails or summarize meeting notes. This enables organizations to automate content-heavy tasks without sacrificing understanding or context.Automation triggersAI workflows are usually event-driven. A trigger might be a form submission, a task status update, or an incoming message. Once initiated, the AI workflow executes a sequence of tasks based on logic, conditions, and model predictions. These triggers help organizations respond faster, reduce delays, and eliminate manual intervention.Predictive algorithmsPredictive AI models help forecast future outcomes based on past behavior. These algorithms can be used to detect workflow bottlenecks or even predict them based on past occurrences. Effective predictive models require good data and smart integration. When done right, they can help businesses make smarter, data-informed decisions with minimal human input.Benefits of AI workflowsHere are some of the advantages that AI workflows offer.Increased efficiency: Automations can take on repetitive and time-consuming tasks. This frees up teams to focus on more strategic work.Scalability: AI workflows can process large volumes of data or requests without extra headcount. They make it easier to scale services or operations.Improved accuracy: Trained models and rule-based logic may help reduce the risk of human error.Faster decision-making: AI workflows can analyze data and trigger decisions in real time. This may enable businesses to respond to problems or opportunities faster.From streamlining internal operations to powering real-time customer experiences, AI workflow automation is helping businesses scale their operations at a reduced cost. AI workflows offer a powerful path toward enhanced efficiency.[1] Vanson Bourne - Case studies Salesforce Business Demand for Automation.

In December 2024, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially accepted the NDA for VELSIPITY(R).As a next-generation selective S1P receptor modulator, once-daily oral etrasimod demonstrates robust efficacy across multiple endpoints, including clinical remission, mucosal healing, endoscopic normalization and histological remission. Its clinical value has been robustly demonstrated in multiple global Phase III studies, including ELEVATE UC 52, ELEVATE UC 12 and ENLIGHT (ES101002) studies.“The NDA acceptance for VELSIPITY(R) in Taiwan, China marks another key progress in our commercialization pathway across Asia. As the number of UC patients in Asia continues to rise, there remains a significant unmet medical need.  In China alone, there were approximately 800,000 patients with UC in 2024, and the number is estimated to reach 1 million by 2030. UC patients face the dual challenges of long-term treatment and maintaining quality of life." said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “This NDA acceptance underscores the clinical value of VELSIPITY(R). We remain committed to accelerating access to this innovative therapy in Mainland China and other Asian markets, supporting long-term disease management while enhancing patients’ quality of life.”The clinical part submitted to TFDA is mainly based on results from the ELEVATE UC Phase 3 registrational program (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12) and the ENLIGHT study (ES101002). The ELEVATE UC Phase 3 registrational program evaluated the safety and efficacy of etrasimod 2 mg once-daily on clinical remission in UC patients with moderately to severely active UC who had previously failed or were intolerant to at least one conventional, biologic, or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy. Both studies achieved all primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, with a favorable safety profile consistent with previous studies of etrasimod.The ENLIGHT study (ES101002) conducted by Everest, is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial of etrasimod in Asian countries, including China Mainland, China Taiwan and South Korea. This is the largest Phase 3 trial of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in Asia completed to date, with 340 eligible subjects randomized to treatment with etrasimod or placebo. The results demonstrate that treatment with etrasimod 2 mg resulted in a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in the primary and all secondary endpoints. These findings provide strong evidence supporting the use of etrasimod in adult Asian patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.As Everest’s third commercialized product, VELSIPITY(R) has been officially approved by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration for adult patients with moderately to severely active UC. It is now available at medical institutions designated under the Connect Policy in the Greater Bay Area. Additionally, Everest has launched a factory construction project at its Jiashan site to support local production of VELSIPITY(R). Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

On the other hand, 2025 marks the concluding year of China’s “14th Five-Year Plan”, with policies prioritizing stability, including moderately accommodative monetary policies and “trade-in” consumption subsidy policies aimed at expanding domestic demand to stimulate market vitality.

The Manager will continue to review and make reasonable adjustments to its financing structure depending on expectations of market developments, and introduce low-cost RMB financing through various RMB financing channels to seek more favorable financing costs to offset interest rate risks. Additionally, the Manager will carry out relevant asset appreciation projects as planned, with reasonable planning and phased renovation of the guest rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou. By focusing on product enhancement, equipment renewal and safety guarantee, the Manager aims to achieve value preservation and appreciation of the properties and ensure the sound operation of the projects.About Yuexiu Real Estate Investment TrustYuexiu Real Estate Investment Trust ("Yuexiu REIT") was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 21 December 2005 and is the first listed real estate investment trust only investing in properties in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") in the world.

HONG KONG, Aug 15, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines today announced that etrasimod (VELSIPITY(R)) has been included in the ACG Clinical Guideline Update: Ulcerative Colitis in Adults (the “Updated Guidelines”). Etrasimod, an S1P receptor modulator, is recommended for the induction of remission in patients with moderately to severely active UC and for continuation in the maintenance of remission, compared with no treatment after induction of remission. Both recommendations are strong, with a moderate quality of evidence.This milestone underscores the high level of recognition from an internationally respected clinical guideline for the therapeutic value of etrasimod and highlights its potential to address the significant unmet medical needs of UC patients, offering a new treatment option worldwide.The updated guidelines were developed by the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) including the latest evidence from the past five years. They provide a comprehensive summary of new approaches and advances in the treatment and prevention of complications in UC, with the goal of offering clinicians standardized and evidence-based recommendations to better manage patients with varying degrees of disease severity.The updated guidelines note that, etrasimod is an oral, once-daily, selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) 1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC. The S1P 1 receptor modulation regulates the trafficking of specific lymphocyte subsets out of the lymph nodes, leaving fewer peripheral immune cells available to traffic to sites of inflammation.The updated guidelines also reference the Phase III ELEVATE UC clinical study for etrasimod (ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12). Both studies achieved all primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, with a favorable safety profile consistent with previous studies of etrasimod. Etrasimod has been included in the AGA Living Clinical Practice Guideline on the pharmacological management of moderate-to-severe UC as one of the higher-efficacy medications suggested for first-line use in advanced therapy-naïve patients.Prof. Wu Kaichun at the First Affiliated Hospital of AFMU who is the principal investigator for etrasimod’s Asia clinical trial said “The updated guidelines further emphasize that achieving endoscopic mucosal healing to enable sustained, steroid-free remission is a core treatment goal for patients. This is not only critical for the long-term and safe management of the disease but is also closely tied to improving patients’ quality of life. The strong recommendation of etrasimod for both induction and maintenance therapy in this population reflects the high level of recognition from an internationally authoritative medical authority.”“The inclusion of etrasimod in the 2025 American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Clinical Guideline for Adult Ulcerative Colitis, with a strong recommendation, is a clear recognition of its clinical efficacy and favorable safety profile. Mucosal healing is a recognized treatment goal in both domestic and international clinical guidelines for UC. Achieving mucosal healing at an early stage can significantly reduce the risk of disease relapse, hospitalization, colectomy, and the development of colorectal cancer.” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “In Asia, the number of UC patients continues to rise, while treatment options remain limited, highlighting an urgent need for innovative therapies that balance efficacy, safety, and convenience. In China alone, the UC patient population was estimated at approximately 800,000 in 2024 and is projected to reach 1 million by 2030, placing an increasing burden on the healthcare system.”As a key innovative asset in Everest Medicines’ autoimmune disease portfolio, etrasimod’s inclusion in the clinical guidelines underscores its global therapeutic potential as a new treatment option for UC patients across Asia, including in China. We remain committed to accelerating the regulatory approval process for etrasimod in Mainland China, South Korea, and other Asian markets to enhance patient access and help more individuals achieve higher-quality, longer-lasting disease remission.”As a core product of Everest Medicines, etrasimod has been approved in Singapore, Macao SAR, and Hong Kong SAR, and its NDA has been accepted in South Korea. In December 2024, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially accepted the NDA for VELSIPITY(R). As Everest’s third commercialized product, VELSIPITY(R) has been officially approved by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration for adult patients with moderately to severely active UC. It is now available at medical institutions designated under the Connect Policy in the Greater Bay Area. Additionally, Everest has launched a factory construction project at its Jiashan site to support local production of VELSIPITY(R). Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年8月15日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 雲頂新耀今日宣布，旗下創新藥艾曲莫德（VELSIPITY(R)，etrasimod）被納入《2025 ACG 臨床指南：成人潰瘍性結腸炎》（下稱「新版指南」），並獲得強烈推薦用於中重度活動性潰瘍性潰瘍性結腸炎（UC）患者的誘導緩解及維持緩解治療（中等質量證據）。新版指南同時建議，對於已通過鞘氨醇-1-磷酸（S1P）受體調節劑實現誘導緩解的患者，繼續使用艾曲莫德以維持緩解（強烈推薦，中等質量證據）。這一重要進展不僅體現了國際權威醫學指南對艾曲莫德臨床價值的高度認可，也進一步彰顯了其在滿足UC患者未被滿足的治療需求方面的潛力，為全球UC患者提供新的治療選擇。此次新版指南由美國胃腸病學會（American College of Gastroenterology，ACG）制定，基於近五年最新循證醫學證據，系統總結了UC治療及並發症預防的新方法與新進展，為臨床醫生提供規範、科學的管理參考，以更好地應對不同程度的UC患者治療需求。新版指南指出，艾曲莫德作為新一代高選擇性S1P受體調節劑，通過將活化的淋巴細胞滯留於淋巴結中，減少其在腸道中的浸潤，從而降低局部炎症反應，並伴隨外周循環淋巴細胞計數下降。艾曲莫德ELEVATE UC III 期注冊研究（ELEVATE UC 52和ELEVATE UC 12）這兩項隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照研究均達到了所有主要和關鍵次要終點，分別在第12周和第52周顯著改善臨床緩解率，並實現持久的內鏡下深度黏膜愈合。值得注意的是，研究中100%的臨床緩解均為無激素緩解，安全性良好，與既往研究結果一致。指南也特意強調了與其他現有治療不同的是，艾曲莫德 ELEVATE UC III 期注冊研究中納入了潰瘍性直腸炎，且證實了在此類人群中顯著提升了臨床緩解率（治療12周時，43.2% vs 13.6%, p＜0.001）。此前，艾曲莫德還被納入2024年美國胃腸病學協會（AGA）臨床實踐指南, 推薦作為潰瘍性結腸炎的一線治療。艾曲莫德亞太臨床試驗牽頭研究者、世界胃腸病學會司庫、亞太消化病學會副主席、中華醫學會第十屆消化病學分會副主任委員、中國人民解放軍第四軍醫大學附屬西京醫院吳開春教授表示：「新版指南進一步明確，『實現內鏡黏膜愈合以達成持續無激素緩解和避免住院手術』是中重度潰瘍性結腸炎治療的核心目標，這不僅關系到疾病的長期安全管理，也與改善患者生活質量息息相關。此次指南中，艾曲莫德被強烈推薦用於中重度活動性潰瘍性結腸炎的誘導和維持治療，標志著其臨床價值獲得了國際權威學術機構的高度認可，也為臨床實踐提供了全新的治療選擇。」雲頂新耀首席執行官羅永慶表示：「艾曲莫德此次獲新版指南強烈推薦用於中重度活動性潰瘍性結腸炎的誘導和維持治療，充分體現了其卓越的臨床療效和良好安全性，進一步確立了其作為一線治療新選擇的重要地位。新版指南明確將實現內鏡黏膜愈合作為治療中重度活動性潰瘍性結腸炎的核心目標，印證了黏膜愈合為國內外指南一致認定的重要終點，可顯著降低疾病複發、住院、結直腸切除及結直腸癌風險。值得一提的是，指南特別強調了艾曲莫德在潰瘍性直腸炎患者中同樣可顯著提升臨床緩解率。在亞洲，潰瘍性結腸炎患者人數持續上升，以中國為例，2024年中國的潰瘍性結腸炎患者數量約為80萬人，預計到2030年將達100萬人，現有臨床治療選擇有限，迫切需要兼顧療效、安全性與便利性的創新方案。我們將加速艾曲莫德的商業化進程，助力更多患者長期維持安全有效的疾病緩解，並提升生活質量。」作為雲頂新耀在自身免疫疾病領域布局的核心創新產品，艾曲莫德（維適平(R)）的新藥上市申請已於2024年12月獲中國國家藥品監督管理局正式受理，預計今年年底或明年年初獲批。艾曲莫德已在新加坡、中國澳門和中國香港獲批，其新藥上市許可申請也已在韓國和中國台灣地區獲正式受理。艾曲莫德已被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（2024年），在大灣區先行使用，成為雲頂新耀第三款商業化新藥。雲頂新耀已於2025年3月啟動艾曲莫德在嘉善工廠的本地化生產建設項目，支持其在大中華區及其他亞洲市場的供應及商業化落地。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
