逆势融资1亿+美元，这家创新药Biotech有何独特之处？

SHENZHEN, Jan 5, 2023 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 2016年启动的新一轮药政改革吹响了中国医药产业“由仿到创”升级的冲锋号角，也掀起了创新药产业发展的第一波浪潮，大量的资本和人才被吸引涌入这个新兴的创新产业，通过license in、fast follow、me too/better等性价比相对较高的研发模式为整个行业带来了充足的创新药项目，明显改善了中国民众的创新药可及性。全球创新药项目投融资概况（截至2022年11月30日，来源：医药魔方PharmaInvest）经过大约5年的快速成长，中国创新药产业在2021年初来到了新的节点。愈发激烈的项目同质化内卷竞争让更多人开始反思过去几年的发展模式，医药二级市场Biotech新股的连续破发给过去的模式按下了暂停键。2021年6月CDE发布的《以临床价值为导向的抗肿瘤药物临床研发指导原则（征求意见稿）》文件也被视为产业发展节奏转变的指挥棒，带动中国创新药产业进入了第二波浪潮。2022年的一级市场创新药项目融资金额的整体规模只有2021年的一半，二级市场医药板块的投资热情也未恢复。不过对于整个行业来讲，这或许也是下一波创新药浪潮到来之前最好的内功修炼时间。同时，也有越来越多积极的事情正在发生，向我们传递着行业回暖的信号。1月5日，创新药公司君圣泰宣布完成1.07亿美元的C轮和C+轮融资，这是近两年来比较罕见的高额融资。君圣泰这轮融资的领投机构是国家开发银行全资子公司国开金融和广东国资设立的广东中医药大基金以及广州的越秀产业基金，所募资金将主要用于加速推进2型糖尿病（T2DM）、非酒精性脂肪性肝炎（NASH）、严重高甘油三酯血症（SHTG）、原发性硬化性胆管炎（PSC）等适应症的临床全球开发，同时展开其他候选产品的临床及临床前研究。这样一笔大额融资在当下尤显珍贵。那么君圣泰究竟有何独特之处吸引投资人？君圣泰对当前的创新药开发有何见解？我们也可以通过与君圣泰创始人刘利平博士的交流内容中略窥一二。核心产品HTD1801瞄准糖尿病合并脂肪肝的临床治疗空白从管线来看，君圣泰的研发方向主要集中在消化和代谢疾病领域，核心产品HTD1801拟开发多项适应症，目前基本处于II期临床阶段。其中推进最快也颇为特别的一项适应症是T2DM；在开发过程中，君圣泰将格外关注HTD1801对T2DM合并非酒精性脂肪肝（NAFLD）患者群体的临床获益。如果拆开来看，T2DM市场早已是一片“红海”，全球已上市的T2DM药物超过130种，但没有一款药物能充分满足T2DM合并NAFLD患者的综合性治疗需求。在谈到为何选择关注T2DM合并NAFLD这一患者群体的临床需求时，刘利平博士指出：“我国有1亿多糖尿病患者、1-2亿脂肪肝患者，而同时患有糖尿病和脂肪肝的患者超过7000万。这两种疾病合并发生的情况非...

SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES, BLOOMBERG ) - City Developments (CDL) is selling its stake in Sincere Property Group for US$1, as it ends the tumultuous backing of the cash-strapped Chinese developer.

CDL will sell a 63.75 per cent equity interest in HCP Chongqing Property Development Co. - which owns an 80.01 per cent stake in Sincere, according to a statement published late Friday.
