　　On Nov. 21, Dr. Yu Qiang, the founder of CGeneTech and the president of SIP Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Promotion Association, successfully held the fourth stop of enterprise visit, which was guided by the Organization Department of SIP Industrial Committee, sponsored by SIP Enterprise Development Service Center and organized by SIP Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Promotion Association, and exchanged the "sweet and sour" of innovative drug field with more than 10 entrepreneurs and managers on site.

　　CGeneTech, which took root in Suzhou Industrial Park in 2010, is a biotech company dedicated to small molecule drug development in the fields of hypoglycemia, antitumor and rare diseases. At present, it has 6 clinical approvals and has applied for 30 invention patents. More than half of the 14 granted invention patents are global oriented, and Centec is on its way to the world based in China.

　　Since its inception, the company has built a rich pipeline of Class 1 innovative drugs, including the self-developed Cetagliptin phosphate, a novel DPP-4 inhibitor, which is in Phase III clinical stage and is expected to complete Phase III clinical in mid-2022. This is just like the image metaphor often used by Dr. Yu Qiang, "Without climbing over snowy mountains and wading through grasslands, it is impossible to liberate the whole China". This is a sign that the first innovative drug of CGeneTech will go to market for approval next year and reach the clinical efficacy endpoint. The approval of Cetagliptin phosphate will fill the gap of DPP-4 inhibitors in China (all the approved ones are imported for registration) and has a broad market prospect. When Dr. Yu Qiang modestly described this milestone as "the first step of a long march", the whole audience spontaneously applauded warmly, and colleagues in the industry deeply understood how much perseverance and hard work was behind this weighty phrase.

　　"The deadline of our project is always yesterday!" This "mantra" of CGeneTech shows the strict requirements of their project management, and the company has developed to a high level of talent stability, with no one above the director level jumping ship, which is rare in the background of the era of serious talent in-roll, and also reflects the cultural charm and endogenous power of this company from the side.

　　In the subsequent exchange, the participants had a lively discussion on industry trends, business models, innovation to the sea and other topics. Kui-Feng Wang, CEO of Qinhao Pharmaceuticals, Gao-Xi Jiang, CEO of Weinz Bio, and colleagues from Sequence Health Medical and Sensitive Microsystems threw out their insights and questions to deepen the links and expand the cooperation space in the exchange.

CGeneTech: Exchange 'One Promise, One Thousand Gold' for 'Dreams Come True'

Introduction: Adhere to our original aspiration, forge ahead, and let our dreams shine into reality. The rapid development of Suzhou Industrial Park is the result of generations of park residents' continuous efforts, and also embodies the strength of each enterprise's rooting and growth. Enterprises are witnesses, but also participants. In the park, one group after another of enterprises have run the "upward trend" with their own "hard skills", using abundant vitality as ink and strong resilience as pen, writing a wonderful chapter of "striving for thirty years and building dreams towards the future". On the occasion of 15 years of rooting in Suzhou Industrial Park, Shengshi Taike Biopharmaceutical Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. has reached a major development milestone - the company's first independently developed Class 1 innovative drug, sitagliptin phosphate tablets, has been approved for listing in China. The founder and CEO of Shengshi Taike, Yu Qiang, wrote a poem with deep emotion: "The trees and trees are all singing in heaven, and the colors are shining in the hall. The morning sun shines on the clouds, and the prosperous era welcomes the sunrise The original intention of entrepreneurship and the passion for innovation are intertwined at this moment into a beautiful story of the "two-way rush" between the park and talents. The successful approval of sengliptin for listing is due to the entrepreneurial fertile ground of Suzhou and the park, as well as the strong support of many departments. It is also a way to repay the park's pro business services with our innovative drugs, "said Yu Qiang. Since settling in the park in 2010, Shengshi Taike has been based in Suzhou and has a global perspective, focusing on the research and production of small molecule innovative drugs. With an integrated drug research and development technology platform and diversified business vision, it has built a rich pipeline of innovative drugs covering areas such as blood sugar reduction, anti-cancer, and autoimmune。 Funds - the 'first pot of gold' that leverages innovation leverage In 2010, with rich scientific research and practical experience in the field of pharmaceutical research and development, Yu Qiang and partner Ding Juping established Shengshi Taike in Suzhou Biomedical Industry Park (BioBAY), committed to the research and industrialization of breakthrough small molecule innovative drugs for therapeutic purposes. "China is a big country with diabetes in the world, and the number of patients with diabetes is the first in the world. In 2008, I heard the news that China began to attach importance to the biomedical industry. Around 2010, I decided to bring my initial research and development achievements, raise funds, form a team, and return to China to make a new class of hypoglycemic drugs." Recalling more than a decade ago, Yu Qiang still remembers. The decision to return to China and start a business in the park was impressed by the numerous emails exchanged. At that time, I was still in the United States and consulted the park government about entrepreneurship issues through email. The response I received was not only fluent in English, but also highly professional. The fact has proven that my initial choice was the right one The beginning of everything is difficult. Even if the conditions for starting a business in China are relatively mature, for a new drug research and development company in the start-up stage, the challenges it faces can be imagined. Shortage of funds is the first problem. Fortunately, the park provides very strong financial support to leading talents, "said Yu Qiang. When he settled in 2010, the park could offer a" big gift package "of up to 10 million yuan to leading talents in the biopharmaceutical field, including housing subsidies, rent reductions, subsidized loans, start-up capital, etc. More importantly, the predecessor of Yuanhe Holdings, Zhongxin Venture Capital, gave us 6.5 million yuan in angel investment, which can be said to be a" timely help "for start-up companies. Later, the company's new drugs were successively shortlisted for the national "Twelfth Five Year Plan", "Thirteenth Five Year Plan" and "Major New Drug Creation" special projects, and were included in the national key support track, further obtaining financial support. The guidance fund and leading venture capital of the park's enterprise development service center have provided financing support at different stages of Shengshi Taike's development. With the guidance of government industry funds, they have also attracted more social capital to invest and jointly support enterprise innovation. I have always believed that it is the '1' given by the park that leads to the '0' increase in social capital in the future, "Yu Qiang said with a smile. Funds support the growth of enterprises and drive industrial development. At present, Shengshi Taike has built a rich drug pipeline, with product distribution fr

Milestones | Shengshi Taike's new generation DPP-4 inhibitor approved for market launch

Today, the official website of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China announced that Shengshi Taike's independently developed Class 1 innovative drug, saxagliptin phosphate tablets (formerly known as saxagliptin phosphate tablets), has been approved for market in China. This is a new generation of highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor, which is suitable for improving the blood sugar control of adult type 2 diabetes patients. According to the Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 diabetes in China, the prevalence of diabetes among adults in China has risen to 11.2%, of which more than 90% are type 2 diabetes. In order to meet the huge clinical demand, some new drugs with different mechanisms of action from traditional oral hypoglycemic drugs have emerged in recent years. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are one of them. They not only improve hyperglycemia, but also are not easy to induce hypoglycemia and weight gain. They have the characteristics of rapid oral absorption, long half-life, and long-lasting effect, and are known as "smart" hypoglycemic drugs. Currently, they have been recommended by many domestic and foreign guidelines. As a new generation of highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor independently developed by Shengshi Taike, sengliptin has been continuously selected for the national "Major New Drug Development" special projects in the 12th and 13th Five Year Plans. Due to the excellent data demonstrated in the first phase clinical trial of the best product in the market, it was exempted from phase 2 clinical trials and directly entered phase 3 clinical trials, pioneering the "exemption from two to three" clinical trials in the field of this drug. The results of the phase III clinical trial of Sengliptin led by Professor Ji Linong, director of the Endocrinology Department of Peking University People's Hospital and director of Peking University diabetes Center, showed that in the single drug treatment trial of Sengliptin, the reduction values of HbA1c in the 50mg and 100mg dose groups at the end of the 24th week were 1.08% and 1.07% respectively; In the treatment trial of sengliptin combined with metformin, the glycated hemoglobin decreased by 1.23% and 1.17% in the 50mg and 100mg dose groups at the end of the 24th week, respectively. Meanwhile, both sets of experimental data showed that patients with higher blood sugar levels experienced a greater decrease in glycated hemoglobin levels. In addition to its excellent hypoglycemic effect, what is even more commendable is that in the comparison between the 100mg dose group (high-dose group) and the placebo group in the last 28 weeks, the incidence of adverse reactions of sengliptin is similar to that of the placebo group, and its safety further solves the common adverse reactions in marketed products. At present, metformin combined with leptin has become the main treatment scheme in the clinical application of treating type 2 diabetes. According to Sullivan's research report, by 2030, the market size of leptin in China will exceed 30 billion, with broad market prospects. Ding Juping, the co-founder and president of Shengshi Tyco, said: "I am very glad to see the company's self-developed product, Sengliptin Phosphate Tablets, has been approved for listing. This drug will be the best new hypoglycemic drug of its kind with half the effort and twice the treatment effect. I hope it will benefit the majority of diabetes patients in China as soon as possible after it is approved for listing." Dr. Yu Qiang, the founder and CEO of Shengshi Tyco, said: "Sengliptin's successful approval for listing benefits from Suzhou and the park as a fertile land for entrepreneurship and the strong support of many departments. It is also a" promise of gold "to use our innovative drugs to repay the business friendly services in Suzhou Park. At this moment, I would like to use an original poem to bless this new drug for its successful launch." Morimu's sounds of nature are listed in the palace. The morning light shines on the clouds, and the prosperous world welcomes the sunrise.
