SHENZHEN, Jan 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement published by the Group on 22 April 2025 for details) received approval from the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) on 30 January 2026 for the New Drug Application (NDA) of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “Product”) for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in children aged 12 years and older and adult patients. It is the first and only targeted drug approved in China for vitiligo, addressing a significant unmet clinical need.Ruxolitinib phosphate cream is the first and only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for repigmentation in nonsegmental vitiligo[1,2]. Prior to receiving formal NDA approval, the Group benefited from the “Early and Pilot Implementation” policy granted to the Hainan Free Trade Port and Lecheng Pilot Zone (“Lecheng Pilot Zone”), the “Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect” policy, and the clinically urgently needed imported drug policies of the Beijing and Tianjin Free Trade Zones, and had already initiated the pilot application of ruxolitinib phosphate cream. Currently, Boao Super Hospital has prescribed ruxolitinib phosphate cream to over 7,000 patients with non-segmental vitiligo, and more than twenty hospitals in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Beijing and Tianjin have provided prescription services for the Product, demonstrating its clinical potential.The product has shown positive results in both overseas clinical studies and the real-world study in China: in two identical Phase III double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled studies (TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2) conducted overseas, the proportion of patients achieving the primary efficacy endpoint of at least 75% improvement in the Facial Vitiligo Area Score Index (F-VASI 75) after 24 weeks of treatment with ruxolitinib phosphate cream was 29.9% in both studies, significantly higher than the 7.5% and 12.9% in the placebo groups, respectively. Continued use up to 52 weeks showed sustained repigmentation[3]. In accordance with the relevant regulations of the Lecheng Pilot Zone's real-world data application pilot project, ruxolitinib phosphate cream underwent real-world study in China, demonstrating positive efficacy consistent with the results of overseas pivotal clinical studies. All secondary efficacy endpoints in both domestic and overseas clinical studies showed a benefit trend consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with prolonged treatment. Furthermore, according to safety monitoring data from the Lecheng Pilot Zone, no new safety event was identified, no adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal of treatment occurred, and no study drug-related serious adverse event (SAE) occurred.This approval in vitiligo brings new hope for treatment to over 10 million vitiligo patients in China, addressing urgent clinical needs. At the same time, it will add to Dermavon’s product portfolio in the field of skin treatment, potentially synergizing with Dermavon’s commercialized innovative drug ILUMETRI (tildrakizumab injection), commercialized exclusive drug Hirudoid (mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream), and a series of innovative drugs under development and dermatological skin care products, in terms of expert network and market resources, thereby potentially enhancing Dermavon's position in the field of skin health.Furthermore, the Phase III clinical trial in China of ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) has achieved positive results. Currently, the Group is actively advancing the NDA for ruxolitinib phosphate cream for the treatment of AD in China, which, if approved, will provide a new treatment option for a broader patient population with AD in China.About VitiligoVitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 10.3 million vitiligo patients in China and non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 8.2 million[4]. Existing therapies, such as topical corticosteroids (TCS) and topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs), have clinical limitations, with adverse reactions or limited efficacy with long-term use. The NDA approval of ruxolitinib phosphate cream successfully fills the gap in targeted drug treatment for vitiligo and is of great landmark significance.More About Ruxolitinib Phosphate CreamRuxolitinib phosphate cream (Opzelura®), a novel cream formulation of the selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib developed by Incyte, is approved for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and patients aged 12 years and older, and for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate AD in patients aged 2 years and older without immunodeficiency in the U.S. In Europe, ruxolitinib phosphate cream is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.The Group, through a subsidiary of Dermavon entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Incyte for ruxolitinib phosphate cream on 2 December 2022, obtaining an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The subsidiary of Dermavon has sublicensed the relevant rights for the Product outside Mainland China to the Group (excluding Dermavon and its subsidiary).Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib phosphate cream, marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®.

HONG KONG, January 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As China’s first batch of Level 3 (L3) conditionally autonomous driving vehicles receives official market access, advanced smart driving is poised for its inaugural year of commercial explosion. At this pivotal juncture, Cheche Group Inc. (CCG) ("Cheche" or the "Company"), a leading global InsurTech platform, announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Volkswagen (Anhui) Digital Sales and Services Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "DSSO") and Beijing Cardif Airstar Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Cardif Airstar Insurance").This tripartite collaboration is more than just a deep dive into high-quality growth for New Energy Vehicle (NEV) insurance; it represents a core transition from "digitization" to "intelligence." The partnership establishes three strategic directions for synergy. First, it focuses on the transformation of product formats by leveraging Cheche’s SaaS platform to co-create an integrated "Insurance + Value-Added Services" package, enabling the efficient, one-stop fulfillment of high-value services. Second, it upgrades pricing capabilities by deeply integrating compliant driving data with dynamic vehicle information, utilizing AI-driven risk profiling to achieve differentiated precision pricing while addressing the complex challenge of liability determination in human-machine co-driving scenarios. Finally, it expands the ecosystem dimension by embedding insurance services throughout the vehicle sales and after-sales process, extending the business from a single policy to a full-lifecycle service ecosystem that encompasses renewal management and mobility protection.01. Smart Driving Insurance: Securing "Pricing Authority" in the L3 Mass Production EraTraditional auto insurance has long struggled with "human-machine co-driving" scenarios due to a lack of real-time dynamic data for liability determination and precise risk identification. Having served leading automakers such as Tesla, Li Auto, and Xiaomi, Cheche provides VW Anhui Digital with an embedded SaaS system centered on data attribution and dynamic pricing.Through this SaaS infrastructure, vehicle driving data is seamlessly synchronized with BNP Paribas Star’s actuarial models. This AI-driven joint risk profiling not only resolves the technical difficulties of liability judgment in smart driving scenarios but also delivers a "low-premium rewards for safe drivers," serving as a vital solution to the profitability challenges currently facing the NEV insurance industry.02. Ecosystem Breakthrough: Leveraging the "Xiaomi + Volkswagen DSSO" New Quality Productive ForcesInvestors are closely watching the cross-sector dynamics underpinning this collaboration. Cardif Airstar Insurance was co-founded by Xiaomi Group, Volkswagen Financial Services, and Cardif Airstar Insurance, combining the strengths of an internet giant, a global financial powerhouse, and a leading smart automaker.As the hub connecting these forces with Volkswagen’s Hefei Intelligent Electric Vehicle Center, Cheche is penetrating the world’s top smart driving supply chains. This is not merely system integration; it marks Cheche’s evolution into a digital operator within the "Vehicle-Battery-Charging-Insurance" integrated landscape. Amid policy tailwinds such as "New Quality Productive Forces," Cheche’s closed-loop ecosystem is becoming a definitive growth pole for insurance and tech capital.03. Scenario Transformation: From Transactional Policies to Full-Lifecycle OperationsIn 2026, as the automotive market shifts from a competition over hardware parameters to a competition over user experience, Cheche is helping DSSO deeply couple insurance services with the car-buying and after-sales journey. The integrated service package transforms insurance from a low-frequency tool into a high-frequency touchpoint for user engagement.Christian Koenig, After-sales Director of DSSO, noted that Cheche’s technical foundation allowed the partnership to advance rapidly from a high starting point. This "plug-and-play" empowerment capability, proven by mainstream automakers, has become a technical moat for Cheche in the capital markets.04. Conclusion: The Final Piece of the Trillion-Dollar Blue OceanThe year 2026 marks the point where NEV insurance evolves from scale expansion to intelligent upgrades. Cheche will continue to advance its AI pricing engine, driving the leap from digital to intelligent services.According to data released by the Ministry of Public Security on January 26, China’s NEV ownership reached 43.97 million units by the end of 2025, accounting for 12.01% of the total vehicle population—a growth rate exceeding 40% year-over-year. In this environment, those who define the insurance standards for the smart driving era will control the entry point to future mobility. With its high barriers to entry via OEM partnerships and forward-looking AI layouts, Cheche is racing toward becoming a leader in the trillion-dollar NEV insurance market.

HONG KONG, January 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – A growing number of robotics and artificial intelligence companies backed by Shoucheng Holdings Limited are set to appear at China’s 2026 CMG New Year’s Gala, reflecting the investor’s expanding footprint across the country’s emerging automation and embodied intelligence sectors.The latest company to confirm its participation is Noetix Robotics, according to recent announcements. Shoucheng Holdings led the company’s financing round in 2024 and has continued to increase its investment through subsequent rounds, making it Noetix Robotics’ largest external investor, people familiar with the matter said.Noetix Robotics’ appearance adds to a lineup that already includes other Shoucheng-backed firms. Unitree Robotics, known for its quadruped and humanoid robots, was earlier named a robot partner of the 2026 Gala, marking its third appearance on the program. Beijing Galbot Co., Ltd., which focuses on embodied artificial intelligence systems, has also been designated by China Media Group as the Gala’s embodied large-model robot.The clustering of multiple portfolio companies on the same edition of the Gala places Shoucheng Holdings among a small group of investors with broad representation on one of China’s most-watched annual broadcasts. The event, which regularly draws hundreds of millions of viewers, has increasingly been used as a platform to highlight advances in artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced manufacturing.China Media Group, the organizer of the Gala, has in recent years expanded the role of technology-focused programming, aligning with national policy priorities around intelligent manufacturing and industrial upgrading. While participation in the Gala does not directly translate into revenue, companies and investors see it as an important signal of technical maturity and policy relevance.Unitree Robotics’ repeated appearances underscore this dynamic. The company has previously used the Gala to demonstrate improvements in motion control, balance and coordination, capabilities that are critical as robots move from laboratory environments into commercial and industrial settings. Its continued inclusion suggests confidence in its engineering progress and deployment readiness.Galbot’s designation as the Gala’s embodied large-model robot reflects a broader shift in focus from mechanical performance alone to systems that integrate perception, reasoning and physical execution. Embodied artificial intelligence—where large models are combined with real-world robotic interaction—has become a priority area for Chinese research institutions and technology companies as generative AI expands beyond software applications.The addition of Noetix Robotics introduces another layer to the lineup. The company concentrates on robotic power systems and core engineering components, segments that are increasingly viewed as strategic as China seeks to reduce reliance on imported technologies and strengthen domestic supply chains. Shoucheng Holdings’ sustained backing of Noetix Robotics highlights an investment strategy that spans both complete robotic systems and foundational hardware.Shoucheng Holdings has steadily increased its exposure to robotics over the past several years, backing companies involved in full-stack robotics, embodied intelligence and critical components. Rather than focusing on a single technological approach, the firm has adopted a portfolio strategy that combines capital investment with access to application scenarios and commercialization platforms.One such platform is the Shoucheng Robot Tech Experience Store, a robotics-focused retail and demonstration network operated by the company. While not all Gala participants are Shoucheng investees, some companies, including MagicLab Robotics Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd., have placed products such as robotic dogs within the platform’s offline spaces for demonstrations and user engagement. MagicLab was named a strategic intelligent robotics partner for the Year of the Horse CMG New Year’s Gala earlier this year.By linking high-profile media exposure with physical demonstration and sales environments, Shoucheng Holdings aims to accelerate the transition from technology showcase to market adoption, according to people familiar with the platform’s positioning. The approach mirrors a broader trend among Chinese industrial investors to combine financial backing with scenario-based deployment.Industry analysts say the concentration of Shoucheng-backed companies on the 2026 Gala stage illustrates how China’s robotics sector is evolving from isolated prototypes toward more integrated industrial ecosystems. The presence of companies spanning full robotic platforms, embodied intelligence and core engineering components suggests increasing specialization and coordination across the value chain.As preparations for the 2026 CMG New Year’s Gala continue, robotics and artificial intelligence are expected to remain central themes. For Shoucheng Holdings, the event offers a snapshot of how its investments are converging on a national platform, reflecting a strategy that has shifted from selective bets to a broader, system-oriented approach to industrial technology.While the commercial impact of Gala exposure is difficult to quantify, market participants increasingly view the lineup as an indicator of which technologies and companies are gaining momentum within China’s rapidly changing AI and automation landscape.
