The product is jointly developed by the Group and Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (“Henlius”, Stock Code: 2696.HK) for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet-AMD”) in China.The phase 3 clinical trial of EB12-20145P (HLX04-O) among Chinese patients (“AURA-1”) has successfully reached the primary endpoint in April this year. AURA-1 is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, and non-inferiority phase 3 clinical trial which aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of EB12-20145P (HLX04-O) with that of ranibizumab administered by intravitreal injection (“IVT”) in newly diagnosed wet-AMD patients.In addition to AURA-1, the BLA of which has been validated by the NMPA, an international, multi-centre phase 3 clinical study of EB12-20145P (HLX04-O) in patients with wet-AMD is ongoing successively in several European countries, Australia, the United States, and China (“AURA-2”) with last patient last visit completed by January 2025. Moving forward, Essex will continue to strive for excellence by embracing innovation to develop first-in-class and best-in-class products, providing solutions for Tomorrow’s healthcare problems, Today.About wet-AMDAge-related macular degeneration (“AMD”) is one of the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness in the elderly worldwide [1]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 30 million people have suffered from AMD globally, and about half a million people become blind due to AMD each year [2]. Wet age-related macular degeneration (“wet-AMD”) is characterised by the formation of subretinal choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and is responsible for approximately 90% of cases of AMD-related blindness. Due to an aging population, wet-AMD has become a serious social medical problem and indicated a huge burden of unmet need [3]. With the development of treatment for fundus diseases, anti-VEGF drugs are becoming the first-line therapy for the management of wet-AMD [4], and the efficacy and safety of vitreous injection of bevacizumab for wet-AMD have been verified in multiple clinical studies [5-11].About EssexEssex is a bio-pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and commercialises genetically engineered therapeutic b-bFGF, with six commercialised biologics currently marketed in China. Additionally, the Company has a diverse portfolio of commercialised preservative-free unit-dose eye drops, Shilishun (Iodized Lecithin Capsules) and others, which are principally prescribed for wound healing and diseases in Ophthalmology and Dermatology.These products are marketed and sold through approximately 14,000 hospitals, supported by the Company’s 44 regional offices in China.

RAK ICC Strengthens Foundations Regime with 2025 Legislative Enhancements

RAS AL KHAIMAH CITY, UAE, Aug 14, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) has announced significant amendments to its Foundations Regulations 2019, which took effect on 31 July 2025. The changes represent one of the most substantial updates to the regime since its introduction, reinforcing the UAE's position as a competitive jurisdiction for wealth structuring and long-term asset protection.RAK ICC Foundations are widely recognized for their flexibility, confidentiality, and legal robustness, making them a preferred choice for high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and family offices, both within the UAE and internationally. These structures are commonly used for succession planning, family governance, and consolidating diverse assets under a single legal entity.The 2025 amendments introduce stronger legal safeguards and improved governance measures which include:Firewall Provisions - Stronger protection from foreign judgments conflicting with RAK ICC Regulations.Three-Year Statute of Limitations - Limits challenges to establishment or asset transfers to three years.Cause of Action Provisions - Creditor fraud claims are limited to the specific asset involved and only if rendering the founder insolvent.Duress and Officer Protections - Nullifies actions taken under foreign legal coercion, preserving internal governance autonomy of a foundation.Strengthened Arbitration Framework - Disputes can be resolved privately with court-level powers.Private Trustee Foundation Provisions - Clarifies asset segregation and fiduciary integrity for property held in trust by a foundation.Assets held within RAK ICC Foundation will now benefit from enhanced firewall provisions, ensuring that foreign judgments conflicting with UAE law cannot be enforced against them. A new three-year limitation period has been established for challenging the formation of a foundation or the transfer of assets into it, providing greater certainty for founders and beneficiaries. The reforms also tighten creditor protection rules by requiring proof of insolvency in fraudulent transfer claims, with liability capped at the value of the disputed asset to prevent overreach into unrelated holdings.In addition, the updated regulations address governance integrity and operational resilience. Officers of a foundation who receive foreign orders inconsistent with RAK ICC law are obligated to disregard them, thereby safeguarding the autonomy of the foundation's decision-making. The framework now explicitly confirms that assets held in trust by a foundation are legally distinct and separate from foundation property, ensuring clear asset segregation. Dispute resolution has also been strengthened, with arbitration provisions expanded to grant tribunals court-like powers, enabling disputes to be resolved efficiently, confidentially, and in line with international best practices.These changes are part of RAK ICC's broader strategy to maintain a forward-looking legal and regulatory environment that meets global standards while catering to the specific needs of its client base. They reflect the jurisdiction's commitment to supporting sophisticated wealth planning strategies that balance control, privacy, and long-term security.By enhancing its Foundations regime, RAK ICC is cementing its position in the UAE as a trusted partner for those seeking secure, adaptable, and internationally compliant solutions for wealth preservation and intergenerational planning.About RAK ICCRas Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) is a corporate registry based in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The organisation provides international business companies and foundations, typically used for private and business structuring, asset consolidation, and succession planning. To date, RAK ICC has incorporated thousands of international companies and supports multi-billion dirhams in structured assets.

香港,2025年8月14日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 云顶新耀今日宣布,中国台湾地区药政主管部门(TFDA)已正式受理维长宁(艾曲莫德,中国台湾地区商品名:"維長寧")用于治疗中重度活动性溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者的新药上市许可申请(NDA)。这一进展标志着艾曲莫德继在中国澳门、新加坡和中国香港获批以及韩国NDA获正式受理之后,在亚洲市场的准入取得又一重大里程碑。中国国家药品监督管理局也于2024年12月正式受理艾曲莫德(维适平(R))的新药上市申请,预计将在今年年底或明年年初获批。艾曲莫德是一款针对溃疡性结肠炎,每日一次的口服一线治疗药物,能够强效实现肠道黏膜愈合,且使用便捷,并具有良好的安全性特征。黏膜愈合是国内外溃疡性结肠炎临床指南一致认定的溃疡性结肠炎治疗目标。溃疡性结肠炎患者尽早实现黏膜愈合,可大幅降低疾病复发率、住院率、结直肠切除手术率和结直肠癌发生风险。艾曲莫德已被纳入2024年美国胃肠病学协会(AGA)临床实践指南, 推荐作为溃疡性结肠炎的一线治疗。2025年,艾曲莫德获得2025年美国胃肠病学会(ACG)成人UC临床指南的一线治疗推荐,进一步印证了其全球专业共识下的临床价值。云顶新耀首席执行官罗永庆先生表示:"此次在中国台湾地区NDA申请的正式受理,是维长宁亚洲商业化进程中的又一重要进展。随着亚洲地区溃疡性结肠炎患者人数持续增长,临床上存在巨大未满足需求。仅在中国,2024年溃疡性结肠炎患者数量约为80万人,预计到2030年将达100万人。患者面临长期治疗与生活质量的双重挑战。此次受理充分体现了对维长宁临床价值的高度认可。我们将继续加快这一创新疗法在中国大陆及亚洲其他市场的上市进程,提升可及性,帮助患者实现长期疾病控制并改善生活质量。"本次申请基于ELEVATE UC III期注册研究(ELEVATE UC 52和ELEVATE UC 12)和ENLIGHT研究(ES101002)的结果。ELEVATE UC III期注册研究显示,在既往常规治疗、生物制剂或JAK抑制剂治疗失败或不耐受的中重度活动性溃疡性结肠炎患者中,每日一次2mg艾曲莫德在第12周和第52周均显示卓越且持久的临床缓解和内镜下深度黏膜愈合,且安全性良好,与既往研究一致。同时,ENLIGHT研究作为迄今最大规模的亚洲中重度UC III期注册临床研究,在中国大陆、中国台湾及韩国开展,共纳入340名患者。研究结果显示,艾曲莫德在诱导期和维持期均取得了显著且具有统计学意义的疗效优势,为其在亚洲人群中的应用提供了有力证据支持。作为云顶新耀在自身免疫性疾病领域的重磅产品,艾曲莫德已于2024年被纳入粤港澳大湾区内地9市临床急需进口港澳药品医疗器械目录,在大湾区先行使用,惠及UC患者,并成为公司第三款商业化新药。今年3月,云顶新耀已启动艾曲莫德在嘉善工厂的本地化生产建设项目,以支持其在大中华区及亚洲其他市场的供应与商业化落地。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

塞尔维亚全国抗议爆发暴力冲突 (视频)

(SeaPRwire) -   官员称,在诺维萨德的一场对峙中,60多名执政党支持者和16名警察受伤 塞尔维亚全国各地爆发了反政府抗议者与执政党支持者之间的暴力冲突,造成数十人受伤。这个巴尔干国家数月来一直处于动荡之中,活动人士要求提前举行议会选举,并追究去年底铁路车站顶棚致命坍塌的责任。 最激烈的对峙于周三发生在诺维萨德市,抗议者聚集在执政的塞尔维亚前进党(SNS)办公室附近。该党支持者与抗议者互相投掷照明弹和其他物品,示威者还砸碎了建筑物窗户。 塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇表示,仅在诺维萨德的SNS办公场所,就有64人受伤。他声称抗议者“手持棍棒、炮弹从后方逼近,并发动袭击”,并补充说,亲政府活动人士“不会退缩,他们对抗了那些他称之为‘暴徒’的殴打者和封锁者”。 总统补充说,16名介入的警察也受伤,同时指责未具名的外国势力策划了此次骚乱。“违法者将被逮捕……今晚,我们避免了某个来自国外的人计划的灾难性情景,”他说。 然而,反对派“变革运动”指责亲政府活动人士用烟火装置袭击抗议者。 类似场景也发生在首都贝尔格莱德,防暴警察在议会大厦附近的一个公园部署催泪瓦斯驱散抗议者。示威者被阻止进一步向SNS办公室推进。 据报道,克拉列沃、克拉古耶瓦茨、尼什和查查克也发生了冲突,警方在几个城镇采取行动分离对立双方。 抗议活动于去年11月在诺维萨德新建火车站的混凝土顶棚坍塌,造成16人死亡后被点燃。抗议者(主要为学生)指责政府腐败和掩盖事实。随后,要求扩展到教育改革和举行提前议会选举。 武契奇曾多次将抗议者称为“恐怖分子”,称他们试图“颠覆国家”,并暗示他们受外国势力影响。 包括总理米洛什·武切维奇在内的几位塞尔维亚部长在动荡后辞职,政府公布了与顶棚坍塌相关的文件。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

欧盟新冠拨款在波兰被用于游艇、豪车和换妻俱乐部 – Politico

(SeaPRwire) -   华沙已暂停拨款,以调查据报存在的数百万欧元补助金滥用问题 波兰已暂停向酒店、旅游和文化部门发放旨在疫后复苏的欧盟资金,此前有争议称这些资金被滥用。据Politico报道,部分资金被用于购买船只和豪华家具,还有一笔补助金的注册地址被发现与一家“换妻俱乐部”相同。 这起丑闻爆发于波兰当局发布了显示补助金领取者的互动式在线地图之后,此举旨在展示复苏计划的透明度。然而,数据显示,这些资金资助了游艇、一家增设了日光浴床的比萨店,以及一个在波兰南部注册的、与一家性俱乐部地址相同的企业,后者是一个被广泛分享的案例。 财政部长Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz周二表示,在对约2400笔补助金(总计约12亿波兰兹罗提,约合2.823亿欧元/3.3亿美元)中的每一笔进行单独审查之前,不会发放额外资金。 HoReCa计划是波兰长期推迟的欧盟新冠疫情复苏计划的一部分,旨在支持受疫情限制影响的小型旅游和酒店企业。波兰本有资格从欧盟复苏基金中获得近600亿欧元,但由于法治争议,在前政府执政期间资金获取受阻。新政府在2023年大选后通过解决欧盟的关切,解锁了这些资金。 失去议会多数席位两年的保守党PiS利用最新发现攻击现任政府。PiS欧洲议会议员Tobiasz Bochenski周六在波兰总理Donald Tusk的办公室外,用一个虚构的“鲱鱼与伏特加部”的模拟牌匾进行了一场作秀。 Tusk回应称,此前的PiS政府多年来一直阻碍资金发放,他声称这迫使现任当局在紧张的时间表下实施该计划。 “为了确保资金能够发放,财政部放宽了程序,而有些人趁机滥用资金,其花费方式理所当然地令人质疑,甚至令人愤怒,”他周一表示。 欧盟委员会表示,布鲁塞尔正在“密切关注局势”,但强调资金管理责任在于华沙。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

美国为特普会豁免制裁

(SeaPRwire) -   美国财政部暂时解除了对俄罗斯的一些限制,以方便阿拉斯加会晤 美国财政部已发布一项临时豁免,解除对俄罗斯的某些制裁,以允许与即将举行的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京之间的会晤相关的交易。 美国财政部外国资产控制办公室 (OFAC) 周三发布了这一声明,此前特朗普和普京定于周五在阿拉斯加州安克雷奇举行峰会。 这项制裁豁免涵盖“通常附带于并对在阿拉斯加州参加或支持会议所必需的”交易,尽管它不授权“解除或释放任何被冻结或实际扣押的财产”。 OFAC 指出,暂停措施将持续生效至8月20日。 即将举行的峰会有望聚焦乌克兰冲突,以及与美俄双边关系相关的一系列更广泛问题。 华盛顿和莫斯科都对各自的期望保持谨慎,这表明此次会晤可能是一系列会谈中的首次高层活动,而不是立即取得突破。 特朗普此前将与普京的峰会描述为一次“摸底会晤”,这将有助于他确定乌克兰冲突是否可以解决。 俄罗斯副外长谢尔盖·里亚布科夫表示,莫斯科将此次会晤视为修复与华盛顿紧张关系的机会,并希望它能“为双边关系正常化提供动力”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

鹰派参议员威胁美国将面临神罚

(SeaPRwire) -   林赛·格雷厄姆声称,停止对以色列的援助将促使上帝“切断”对美国的帮助 美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆呼吁不要削弱美国对以色列的援助,并威胁称此举将招致神圣的报应。 这位共和党参议员在周末于南卡罗来纳州举行的第58届银象晚会(Silver Elephant Gala)上发表了上述言论,这是一场重要的党派筹款活动。他的讲话于周三在社交媒体上广为传播。格雷厄姆大加赞扬以色列,称其尽管完全有能力,但据称在加沙地带没有犯下“种族灭绝”罪行。 “以色列是我们的朋友。他们是我们在中东最可靠的朋友。他们是一个民主国家,周围都是一旦有机会就会割断他们喉咙的人。”格雷厄姆声称,他补充说,以某种方式削弱对以色列的支持将导致美国受到神圣的惩罚。 如果美国抛弃以色列,上帝就会抛弃我们。 这位参议员发表此番言论之际,以色列刚刚宣布了一项占领巴勒斯坦飞地北部加沙城的计划,这是加沙地带以色列军队少数几个未控制的区域之一。 该方案被以色列吹捧为与巴勒斯坦武装组织Hamas“结束战争”的路线图,这场战争已持续近两年,但在西方国家受到了压倒性的负面反应。这项占领计划遭到多个国际组织和国家的谴责,只有美国例外,美国对这一声明实际上未作任何反应。在该计划公布前不久,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾表示,是否完全占领这块飞地“基本上取决于以色列”。 格雷厄姆是以色列的长期坚定支持者,他此前曾呼吁全面占领加沙,并坚称除了这一做法,没有其他解决方案能够平息敌对行动以满足西耶路撒冷的要求。 “他们将在加沙做我们在东京和柏林做过的事情:以武力占领该地并重新开始。”格雷厄姆在七月下旬说,他暗示,作为停滞的以色列-Hamas和平进程调解方的华盛顿,实际上也认为“无法通过谈判结束这场战争”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
