Official release follows successful beta with 150,000 users, empowering developers to build and deploy full-stack web applications in minutes

SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Cloud today announced the official launch of its EdgeOne Pages, a pioneering edge-native, full-stack development platform. This launch marks a significant enhancement to Tencent Cloud’s end-to-end AI development and deployment ecosystem. EdgeOne Pages allows developers to rapidly build Web projects without setting up servers, configuring environments, or handling operations, enabling instant deployment and effortless global launch.

Since its beta launch in October 2024, EdgeOne Pages has gained rapid adoption, serving over 150,000 users and facilitating more than one million deployments. Incorporating extensive user feedback, the official version now introduces multiple new capabilities, including metrics and usage analytics, customizable security protection, mainstream SSR full-stack frameworks, one-click KV storage, and AI voice chatbots.

Furthermore, a permanently free tier is available for all users with a one-click activation, offering core benefits such as unmetered website security acceleration traffic and request quotas, platform-level security protection, and unified data monitoring.

In the past, launching web projects globally often faced challenges such as long deployment cycles and slow launch times. For example, many AI tool developers targeting overseas markets face a lengthy process of complex tasks, including architecture planning, server procurement and configuration, frontend and backend setup, integration of user authentication (email verification, third-party login), multi-currency payment integration and callback handling, operations and maintenance, backups, and cross-region acceleration — a timeline often spanning weeks.

Market demands, however, evolve rapidly. Users seeking “basic text-to-image generation” today may request “style customization + batch export” tomorrow. The ability to rapidly develop, deploy, and validate product ideas has become a key competitive advantage for teams expanding globally.

Now, with the official release of EdgeOne Pages, independent developers and small teams can now streamline building, deployment, and operations into a unified process, reducing website launch time from days to minutes.

Build Phase: EdgeOne Pages provides a rich variety of website templates, covering multiple categories such as AI tools, online utilities, SaaS, B2B services, corporate websites, product pages, e-commerce, landing pages, and campaign pages. Through integrated Functions, users can effortless integrate CMS, payments, OAuth, databases, and other third-party services. Leveraging built-in WebSocket and LLM capabilities, users can even build an AI voice chat page rapidly using pre-built templates.

Deployment Phase: EdgeOne’s network of over 3,200 global edge nodes automatically distributes site content to nodes closest to end users, delivering global acceleration and intelligent caching for both static and dynamic content, ensuring stable and consistent performance.

Operation Phase: EdgeOne Pages leverages a serverless architecture, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain servers, significantly reducing operational costs. The official version also introduces enhanced data monitoring capabilities, allowing users to view site usage directly in the console and utilize a new analytics dashboard to filter detailed metrics by site and host, enabling continuous performance tracking.

EdgeOne Pages has now evolved from supporting a single framework to a complete full-stack ecosystem, with native support for mainstream full-stack frameworks including Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, React Router, and SvelteKit. In the EdgeOne Pages template gallery, users can preview templates or deploy them with one click. Developers can also deploy their existing full-stack applications to EdgeOne Pages without modifying project structures.

Deeply integrated into the AI development ecosystem, EdgeOne Pages offers full compatibility with the CodeBuddy IDE, enabling developers to complete full-stack project development in CodeBuddy and deploy with a single click to launch Web projects with global acceleration. Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), EdgeOne Pages seamlessly connects with mainstream AI IDEs such as Cursor and VS Code, further improving development efficiency. The simultaneous update of EdgeOne CLI provides a smoother development and deployment experience for users with different workflows.

Through products such as CodeBuddy and EdgeOne Pages, Tencent Cloud continues to empower developers worldwide. Looking ahead, EdgeOne Pages will keep innovating and evolving, building a new generation of development tools that are more intelligent, more reliable, and more capable.

The secondary analysis of the PACE trial highlights the value of counting Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in the blood to help guide treatment escalation or de-escalation in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer whose disease progressed after treatment with aromatase inhibitors plus CDK4/6 inhibitors. CTC count is a standalone predictive biomarker, independent of clinical risk factors and circulating tumor DNA.

BOLOGNA, Italy and HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa., Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Menarini Silicon Biosystems, a pioneer of cell-based liquid biopsy technology, announced today the publication in Clinical Cancer Research^[1] of the CTC biomarker analysis from the PACE trial, a multicenter phase II clinical study initiated in 2017. The analysis examined whether CTC count could provide prognostic and predictive information in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients progressing after first-line treatment. 

203 patients were randomized to receive either endocrine monotherapy or combination therapy consisting of a doublet (endocrine therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor) or a triplet regimen (endocrine therapy plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor and an immune checkpoint inhibitor). Based on their CTC level, patients were classified into two prognostic groups: those with less than 5 CTCs per 7.5 mL of blood, defined as having indolent disease, and those with 5 or more CTCs, defined as having aggressive disease. While no significant difference in progression-free survival was observed between treatment groups in the overall population, patients with aggressive disease (5 or more CTCs) experienced a meaningful reduction in the risk of progression when treated with combination therapies. More specifically, the risk of progression was reduced by 57% in patients receiving doublet therapy and 74% in patients receiving triplet therapy, when compared with endocrine monotherapy.

Lorenzo Gerratana, MD, Associate Professor at the University of Udine and Physician Scientist at IRCCS CRO Aviano (Italy) and first author of the PACE biomarker analysis, said: “This analysis underscores the value of CTC enumeration to identify HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients more likely to benefit from intensified therapies after disease progression on first-line treatment. Patients with aggressive disease showed improved clinical outcomes with combination therapy, whereas patients with indolent disease did not show a meaningful benefit from treatment escalation compared to monotherapy”. As the biological mechanisms driving resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors are still not fully understood, there is a clear unmet need for reliable biomarkers to guide treatment decisions following disease progression.

These recent findings are consistent with the results of the STIC trial^[2], published in 2024, which showed that treatment decisions guided by CTC counts could differ from physician choice and, when discordant, either led to improved survival outcomes or allowed treatment de-escalation without negatively affecting survival.

“The STIC and PACE trials consistently demonstrate how our CELLSEARCH CTC enumeration can improve patient management in the heterogeneous metastatic breast cancer setting, where both resistance mechanisms and disease progression remain a challenge,” said Fabio Piazzalunga, President of Menarini Silicon Biosystems (MSB). “This test is available for In Vitro Diagnostic Use in Europe and China, and in the U.S. through our CAP/CLIA/ISO 15189 accredited laboratory in Huntingdon Valley, Pa., USA. We are committed to supporting physicians to make more informed decisions, whether to intensify treatment to control disease progression or reduce treatment intensity to preserve quality of life”.
