Currently, Senglitin (formerly known as Shenglitin), a next-generation, highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor developed entirely in-house, is on the verge of receiving regulatory approval and entering the market. Clinical trials have shown that, compared to existing similar drugs, Senglitin delivers twice the therapeutic efficacy at half the dose, positioning it as a potentially best-in-class medication for blood sugar control. Even more remarkable, its exceptional safety profile effectively addresses common adverse effects often associated with currently available treatments. Among the oncology candidates advancing into clinical stages, CGT-1881—a CXCR4 antagonist designed for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization—is the only original small-molecule, orally administered CXCR4 inhibitor of its kind in China. Meanwhile, CGT-6321, a dual-target inhibitor targeting both FGFR and VEGFR, holds promise as a potential "first-in-class" therapy for solid tumors. Building on the success of the CGT-6321 program, the company’s executive team—led by Dr. Tong Wang—was recently honored with the prestigious 2022 Gusu Leading Talent Award for the most innovative and impactful innovation team of the year.
