The flagship initiative, “The Journey Within,” translates vision into execution—serving as the living blueprint of the Wellness Ecosystem envisioned by BDMS Wellness Clinic. Anchored in three seamlessly integrated pillars—Travel, Stay, and Scientific Wellness—the concept redefines how a nation can deliver holistic, outcome-driven health experiences.

Insilico and TaiGen Achieve Milestone in Collaboration: Out-Licensed CKD Anemia Candidate ISM4808 Completes first human enrollment and dosing in Phase I clinical trial

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insilico Medicine (Insilico Medicine, HKEX: 03696), a clinical-stage biotechnology company powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI), announced that ISM4808, an AI-driven PHD inhibitor for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related anemia previously out-licensed to TaiGen Biotechnology (TaiGen*-KY, 4157), has achieved its first milestone. Recently, TaiGen has successfully completed the enrollment and dosing of the first subject in the Phase I clinical trial.

The prevalence of CKD is steadily rising in the Greater China region. Anemia is one of the most common complications of CKD, affecting more than one in seven patients. ISM4808 is a potential best-in-class oral HIF-PHD inhibitor discovered with the support of Insilico Medicine’s generative chemistry platform, Chemistry42. Compared to traditional Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs), ISM4808 stimulates the production of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) and improves iron utilization. Its advantages, offering multiple advantages including improved iron use efficiency, avoidance of intravenous injections, and a favorable safety profile, with the potential to overcome limitations of existing treatment.

In December 2025, Insilico and TaiGen entered into a licensing agreement for the program. Under the agreement, TaiGen obtained exclusive rights to develop, commercialize, and sublicense ISM4808 in Greater China (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan). Insilico Medicine is eligible to receive an upfront payment, development and sales-based milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales, with the total deal value reaching tens of millions of US dollars.

Since entering the collaboration, TaiGen has efficiently initiated preparations for the Phase I clinical trial of this program. The Phase I clinical study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comprising both single-ascending-dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) cohorts, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of ISM4808 in healthy adults.

Kuo-Lung Huang, Chairman of TaiGen Biotechnology, said, “ISM4808 is an important milestone in TaiGen’s drug development strategy. Within 3 months of in-licensing the program, our team completed the challenging process from regulatory preparation to first-subject enrollment and dosing, demonstrating TaiGen’s clinical development expertise. There remains significant unmet medical need in the CKD anemia market. We look forward to providing patients with a safer and more convenient oral treatment option through this novel mechanism, and we will continue to accelerate clinical progress to advance into the next stage of development as soon as possible.”

Feng Ren, PhD, Co-CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of Insilico Medicine, said, “We are deeply impressed by our partner TaiGen, who achieved clinical enrollment in less than three months after in-licensing the program. This highly efficient translational model—’AI-enabled early discovery + professional clinical development’—greatly shortens the distance from concept to the clinic. We look forward to ISM4808 delivering strong outcomes in clinical trials and bringing a clinically differentiated new oral treatment option to the broader CKD anemia patient community. ISM4808 was initially discovered as a candidate drug targeting the PHD mechanism with the support of Chemistry42. Garutadustat, another drug candidate targeting the PHD discovered and optimized by Chemistry42, is being independently advanced by Insilico for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The first patient dosing for its Phase II clinical trial was completed in January 2026.”

Bybit and Tether Deepen Strategic Collaboration With “Golden Season,” Bringing Gold-Backed Stability to Crypto Investors

DUBAI, UAE, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As digital asset markets face renewed volatility and investor sentiment turns cautious, Bybit and Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry today, announced an expanded collaboration centered on tokenized gold, launching the joint “Golden Season” initiative with more than $1 million in gold-backed rewards.

The program builds on the two companies’ long-standing collaboration around liquidity, stablecoin infrastructure, and asset tokenization, reflecting a shared focus on delivering stability and real-world value to crypto investors during turbulent markets.

Standing With Users When It Matters Most

With the crypto Fear & Greed Index recently touching extreme-fear levels and bitcoin trading well below recent highs, we believe the timing calls for solutions that help investors protect capital while staying engaged in digital markets.

“The real test of a platform is not how it performs in bull markets, but how it supports users when markets turn,” said Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit. “Through our collaboration with Tether, we are bringing the reliability of gold into the digital asset ecosystem — offering our community practical ways to seek stability and steady returns while markets recover.”

Bybit and Tether are proactively creating opportunities for users to protect capital, earn sustainable yield, and access one of the world’s most trusted store-of-value assets — gold. “We have been seeing rising demand for stable, yield-generating products amid market volatility, with millions of users shifting toward diversified portfolios that include tokenized real-world assets,” added Helen.

Golden Season is that belief in action: rather than waiting for conditions to improve, “We believe what our users need most right now is stability,” said Helen. “Markets will recover — we have no doubt about that. But in the meantime, our responsibility is to ease the pressure, provide real pathways to steady returns, and make sure our community knows: Bybit stands with them. Golden Season with Tether is exactly that — gold’s stability and upside, made accessible to every crypto investor, right when they need it most.”

A Shared Vision for Tokenized Real-World Assets

Tether’s gold-backed token, XAUT, is backed 1:1 by physical gold stored in Swiss vaults, giving digital investors exposure to one of the world’s most trusted store-of-value assets without leaving the crypto ecosystem.

Bybit aims to deepen the integration of XAUT across trading, savings, and structured-yield products on its platform, alongside broader stablecoin initiatives scheduled for 2026.

Why Gold, Why Now

Analysts note that gold has outperformed many asset classes over the past year amid inflation concerns and geopolitical uncertainty[1]. Bybit said user behavior is shifting toward capital preservation and diversified yield, making tokenized gold a natural bridge between traditional safe-haven assets and digital markets.

Golden Season will feature trading rewards, referral incentives, and limited-time yield pools linked to XAUT, designed to encourage responsible portfolio diversification rather than speculative trading.

More Than a Campaign

Both companies share a commitment to transparency, resilience, and user protection,” Helen said. “Golden Season is just one step in building a more stable and inclusive digital financial system together.”

Bybit has been planning to introduce up to $10 million in additional stablecoin- and RWA-linked yield products in March, further expanding options for investors seeking consistent income during uncertain markets.
