Team CGeneTech, represented by Pan Huiping, excelled in the finals and won the National Excellence Award in the 2018 Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition. Coinciding with today's United Nations Diabetes Day, we have been on our way as an innovative company leading the way with the development of hypoglycemic drugs.

In fact, the predecessor of the United Nations Diabetes Day (World Diabetes Day' WDD) was co-sponsored by the World Health Organization and the International Diabetes Federation in 1991, with the aim of causing global awareness and awakening to diabetes.

At the end of 2006, the United Nations adopted a resolution to change the name of World Diabetes Day to United Nations Diabetes Day from 2007 onwards, elevating expert and academic actions to governmental actions in all countries, and urging governments and all sectors of society to strengthen the control of diabetes and reduce the risk of diabetes. The United Nations adopted a resolution at the end of 2007 to formally rename World Diabetes Day as "United Nations Diabetes Day", which elevates expert and academic actions to the actions of national governments, prompting governments and all sectors of society to strengthen the control of diabetes and reduce its harmful effects.

目前，盛世泰科已与包括江苏省人民医院在内的机构达成协议，开展磷酸盛格列汀的Ⅰ期临床试验。磷酸盛格列汀属于二肽基肽酶(DPP)-4抑制剂类药物，此类药物最大的优势是不会引起低血糖和体重增加，且具有心血管保护作用；同时，由于中国2型糖尿病患者的胰岛β细胞受损程度比欧美患者更严重，而DPP-4抑制剂类药物的特点之一是可以改善β细胞受损，因而中国患者能更多地获益，这使得DPP-4抑制剂类药物在中国越来越受到医生的认可。

 磷酸盛格列汀是国家“十二五”和“十三五”重大新药创制专项和江苏省“科技支撑计划”专项，是完全自主研发的糖尿病新药。磷酸盛格列汀的临床前研究显示，其有效性是全球最优药物磷酸西格列汀（捷诺维）的3-10倍，安全性是磷酸西格列汀的5倍以上，优势十分明显。磷酸盛格列汀的成功上市，将为数亿中国2型糖尿病患者带来一种更加实惠和安全有效的药物选择，并将进一步提高我国2型糖尿病的治疗水平。盛世泰科将始终以自主创新作为企业发展的源动力，继续承担中国重大疾病新药研发的使命，与国内外学术力量紧密合作，积极开拓中国医药科技产业化的发展之路，造福中国广大患者。
