HONG KONG, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK)  (“Akeso” or the “Company”) announced today that it has received clearance from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate Phase II clinical trials for AK146D1, a first-in-class Trop2 /Nectin4 bispecific antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and AK138D1, an innovative HER3-targeting ADC.

The studies will evaluate these two novel ADC candidates in combination with the Company’s pioneering immuno-oncology (IO) 2.0 bispecific antibodies, cadonilimab (PD-1/CTLA-4) and ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF), as well as other proprietary high-potential anti-tumor assets, including AK117 (anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody) and AK109 (anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody), across a spectrum of advanced solid tumors. This milestone marks a strategic acceleration of Akeso’s proprietary “IO 2.0 + ADC 2.0” combination platform into mid-stage clinical development.

These Phase II studies will leverage the cadonilimab and ivonescimab as foundational backbone therapies, capitalizing on their validated clinical profiles in checkpoint blockades and dual VEGF/PD-1 inhibition. The regimens center on Akeso’s internally discovered next-generation ADCs while exploring synergies with the company’s broader internal portfolio.

The convergence of immuno-oncology and ADC modalities has emerged as a high-conviction frontier in oncology therapy, offering the potential to overcome the limitations of monotherapy approaches – such as antigen escape, heterogeneous expression, and narrow therapeutic indices. Akeso holds a distinct global competitive advantage as the only company with two approved cancer immunotherapy checkpoint bispecific antibodies. By pairing these IO backbones with next-generation ADC candidates like AK146D1 and AK138D1, the Company is driving the next generation of combination therapy. AK146D1 and AK138D1 have been specifically designed to expand the therapeutic window and mitigate safety-related limitations of traditional ADCs. The progression of these “IO 2.0 + ADC 2.0” combinations into Phase II development is a significant step in establishing Akeso’s next-generation leadership in the global oncology landscape.

AK146D1 is a first-in-class bispecific ADC engineered to simultaneously target Trop2 and Nectin4, antigens that are frequently co-expressed in epithelial-derived malignancies such as lung, breast, and bladder cancers. This dual-targeting approach is designed to enhance selectivity, address tumor heterogeneity, and overcome the resistance mechanisms common in single-target ADC therapies. AK138D1 is a next-generation ADC targeting HER3, a receptor associated with tumor progression and resistance to established EGFR and HER2 treatments in various malignancies, including ovarian, colorectal, melanoma, and prostate cancers. Early-stage data for both AK146D1 and AK138D1 have demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity and a highly manageable safety profile.

Akeso continues to extend its global IO 2.0 leadership into broader, high-impact combination strategies. Beyond the “IO 2.0 + ADC 2.0” portfolio, the Company is advancing a comprehensive portfolio of novel combination approaches aimed at addressing major unmet clinical needs. These include IO 2.0 combinations with other immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), mRNA-based personalized cancer vaccines (such as AK154), DNA-based therapeutics, and additional novel therapeutic platforms. 

This milestone underscores Akeso’s disciplined execution in translating proprietary platform synergies into clinical progress, positioning the Company at the forefront of next-generation global oncology innovation.

From SCAN to SPARK: Galaxy Brain Scientific Enables a New Paradigm in Non-invasive, Personalized Precision Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease

BEIJING, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A research team led by Prof. Hesheng Liu, founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Galaxy Brain Scientific Inc., has published a study in Nature Neuroscience demonstrating that Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) achieves therapeutic efficacy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) by remodeling the SPARK circuit. (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-026-02228-w)

The findings build directly on the team’s previous identification of a core cortico-subcortical PD circuit derived from the somato-cognitive action network (SCAN), the SPARK (SCAN-Parkinson’s) circuit, as reported in their study published in Nature in February 2026 (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-10059-1), which first characterized this circuit in PD. These results provide mechanistic evidence that neuromodulation therapies exert their effects through modulation of this circuit, and offer a circuit-level framework for the development of personalized, non-invasive precision treatment strategies.


This study establishes the world’s largest longitudinal DBS-fMRI dataset to date, derived from a systematic one-year follow-up of 14 PD patients. With over 200 hours of high-quality imaging data collected, the research team successfully provides mechanistic insights into how DBS exerts its effects by modulating the SPARK circuit, yielding two key findings:

First, the study reveals that the SPARK circuit is the critical response region for DBS neuromodulation. The research provides powerful evidence that the SPARK circuit is not only the pathological origin of PD but also the core target through which neuromodulation exerts its effects.

Second, the study confirms that DBS remodels abnormal functional connectivity within the SPARK circuit. These results are highly consistent with the team’s previous research published in Nature, proving that the clinical efficacy of DBS essentially stems from the long-term regulation and functional remodeling of abnormal SPARK connectivity.

These findings imply that non-invasive interventions targeting the SPARK circuit are supported by the same biological foundation as surgical neuromodulation.

Furthermore, the research revealed significant individual variability in brain functional networks across patients, which directly influence the clinical outcomes of neuromodulation therapies. This discovery points toward a new direction for the field: a paradigm shift from traditional, empirical “trial-and-error” parameter tuning toward a personalized precision treatment model rooted in individual brain circuits.

Leveraging its proprietary Personalized Brain Functional Sectors (pBFS) technology and a specialized precision circuit stimulation system, Galaxy Brain Scientific has achieved the clinical application of personalized, non-invasive precision intervention. This approach enables a “one-person-one-strategy” model for individualized care. Clinical trials have confirmed that by using the precision circuit stimulation system to deliver non-invasive intervention to each patient’s unique SPARK target, clinical efficacy is more than double that of traditional stimulation targets.

Galaxy Brain Scientific is already moving to bring these insights to the clinical frontline, having begun a pivotal registration trial for Class III devices dedicated to treating PD. “Our goal is to redefine the treatment paradigm for brain disorders,” added Prof. Liu. “By moving from ‘one-size-fits-all’ to ‘one-person-one-strategy’, we are now pioneering the application of this technology to treat complex conditions beyond Parkinson’s, including autism and Alzheimer’s disease.”

A Lao man was arrested at the Nong Khai border checkpoint on 24 March after human remains were found in black bags along a canal in Nonthaburi, Thailand.

A Lao national has been arrested at the Nong Khai border checkpoint while allegedly attempting to flee to Laos, after the dismembered remains of a Lao woman were found in black bags along a canal in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi Province, on 24 March.

At around 8 pm, Pak Kret police responded to a report of a suspicious bag containing human remains near a school entrance in Pak Kret district. Forensic officers searched the area and recovered multiple bags containing body parts scattered along the canal bank and in nearby bushes.

A joint investigation between Pak Kret and Thung Song Hong police stations identified a suspect and established the likely scene of the crime as an apartment in the Thung Song Hong area of Bangkok.

The Arrest

Officials arrested the suspect, a 26-year-old Lao national, the same evening at the Nong Khai border checkpoint while attempting to cross into Laos.

Nong Khai immigration officers, acting on intelligence from the Thung Song Hong investigative team, had been coordinating with local security agencies before making the arrest.

During preliminary questioning, the suspect denied killing the victim. Police say he admitted to dismembering her body and disposing of the remains. He faces charges of intentional murder and concealing or destroying a corpse to conceal a death or its cause.

The Investigation

The authorities haven’t formally identified the 20-year-old victim yet pending forensic confirmation. Search teams are continuing to recover remains from the area. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage.

Authorities say an official statement on the progress of the case will be released in due course.

-

SINGAPORE, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Math Magic announced that Hitem3D has been integrated into OpenClaw as a Skill-based API service, allowing agents to execute image-to-3D generation through structured, multi-step workflows. The integration introduces a programmable execution model where 3D generation is handled through defined API calls rather than manual interaction.

From Prompting to Structured Execution

Within the OpenClaw environment, generation is no longer treated as a single-step action but as a sequence of coordinated operations. Agents identify task intent—such as converting a single image, processing multiple views, or generating portrait models—then confirm parameters including resolution, output format, and generation mode before submitting jobs via API.

The system handles asynchronous execution by polling job status and returning result links alongside parameter summaries. This structured orchestration improves reproducibility and enables developers to embed 3D generation into larger automated pipelines.

Controlling Inputs, Outputs, and Workflow Behavior

By exposing generation through Skill-based APIs, the workflow provides clearer control over how inputs are processed and outputs are generated, supporting formats such as STL for 3D printing and GLB for real-time use, with adjustable resolution tiers and generation modes.

Technically, the platform integrates geometry and texture generation within a unified workflow designed to improve surface consistency and downstream compatibility, reducing visible seams and avoiding common texture-related issues, particularly in occluded regions.


Supporting Production-Oriented Pipelines

Hitem3D supports high-resolution 1536³ internal texture representation and is designed to reduce isolated or unsupported mesh elements, improving reliability in downstream workflows. Outputs are compatible with common slicing software, where models can be further prepared using standard repair tools before printing. Wall thickness can be adjusted to support typical FDM and resin workflows.

“Structured API orchestration allows developers to define not just what is generated, but how it is generated,” said a Math Magic representative.

Developers interested in implementing this workflow can access the Skill and API integration details at: https://clawhub.ai/lihuihui-bj/hitem3d.

Hitem3D v2.0 is now available worldwide. Learn more about Hitem3D v2.0 and explore sample outputs at hitem3d.ai and hitem3d.ai/3dprinting/use-case.

About Hitem3D
Hitem3D, pioneered by Math Magic (founded 2024), converts single or multi-view images into production-ready 3D models for 3D printing, industrial design, and game asset creation. The platform serves users in more than 150 countries and integrates into professional digital production workflows.

Despite growing digital complexity, many organizations still rely on a single provider to power and protect their applications. When outages, performance issues, or unexpected infrastructure changes occur, reliance on a single provider can quickly create a single point of failure, affecting everything from customer experience to revenue.

Introducing a secondary provider offers a more resilient approach, allowing organizations to reroute traffic in real time and keep services available when primary networks falter. However, in a crowded market with overlapping capabilities, identifying the right partner remains a challenge.

A Practical Tool for Evaluation

CDNetworks’ newly released guide is designed to cut through the complexity. It empowers businesses to confidently evaluate secondary delivery platforms and move from consideration to implementation.

Key sections include:

  • Four risks associated with relying on a single delivery provider
  • Essential criteria for evaluating secondary platforms
  • A practical checklist to guide vendor assessment and selection
  • A comparison of CDNetworks with other leading cloud providers

“A string of high-profile outages across major cloud platforms in late 2025 has brought renewed attention to the importance of operational control,” said Antony Li, APAC Head of Sales at CDNetworks. “Enterprises that wait until after an incident to evaluate alternatives are already behind. With this guide, we want to help organizations take a more proactive approach to resilience by evaluating secondary providers before disruptions occur.”
