  • Insilico Medicine has licensed TaiGen Biotechnology exclusive rights in the Greater China area to develop, commercialize, and sub-license ISM4808, an AI-driven potential best-in-class oral PHD inhibitor with IND clearance granted in 2023.
  • The partnership combines Insilico’s generative AI discovery platform with TaiGen’s regional clinical and commercial expertise to accelerate the development of ISM4808 for the treatment of Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Insilico Medicine (“Insilico”), a clinical-stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery company, and TaiGen Biotechnology, a listed discovery-based and market-focused pharmaceutical company, as well as TaiGen Biopharmaceuticals, its wholly-owned Beijing subsidiary (both referred to as “TaiGen”), today announced an exclusive pipeline out-licensing collaboration.

Under the terms of the agreement, TaiGen was granted the exclusive rights for further development, commercialization and sub-licensing in the Greater China area, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, of ISM4808 the PHD inhibitor and its related forms and structures. In return, Insilico is eligible for payments including one-time upfront, development and sales-based milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on net sales, with a total size of double-dight million dollars.

As research indicated, CKD accounts for over 1.5 million deaths annually, and more than one in seven people with kidney disease have anemia, due to less Erythropoietin (EPO)—a hormone that signals bone marrow to make red blood cells, and shorter lifespans of red blood cells. However, anemia cannot be totally cured, and current treatments mainly focus on the relief of symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, body aches, dizziness/fainting, hoping to improve the quality of life.

Nominated in 2022 as a potential best-in-class PHD inhibitor, ISM4808 targets the Nobel-winning HIF‑α pathway for the treatment of CKD-related anemia, through EPO induction and iron utilization improvement for better blood cell replacement. Notably, the novel structure of ISM4808 was empowered by Insilico’s proprietary Chemistry42 engine, and was designed, synthesized, and tested within a 12‑month window, prior to candidate nomination. In January 2024, the discovery and development journey of ISM4808 series was published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, highlighting the novelty and high efficiency of Insilico’s AI-driven drug R&D workflow.

In preclinical studies, ISM4808 showed compelling potency across in vitro and in vivo assays, with lower effective doses in CKD rat models; promising oral drug-like properties featuring favorable in vitro ADME and promising pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles across animal models; and a safety profile characterized by higher maximum tolerated doses and broad safety margins. The program received IND clearance from the CDE in China in 2023.

“We are delighted to collaborate with TaiGen Biotech,” said Feng Ren, PhD, Co-CEO and CSO of Insilico Medicine. “Powered by AI, Insilico has efficiently nominated two novel PHD inhibitors for different indications. ISM5411, a gut-restricted molecule for inflammatory bowel disease, has completed two Phase I trials, and demonstrated a favorable safety profile, further strengthened our confidence in PHD-targeting programs. We are pleased that the other molecule targeting the same target but with systematic exposure, ISM4808, will be advanced by our partner TaiGen, a well-established biopharma company. I believe TaiGen’s strong drug development capabilities and clinical resources will help accelerate the program and bring AI-driven therapies to patients worldwide sooner.”

“We are pleased to enter this strategic partnership with Insilico Medicine. The innovation Insilico brings through its generative AI platform is truly impressive.” said Kuo-Lung Huang, Chairman of TaiGen Biotechnology. “With over a million dialysis patients in Mainland China, the PHD inhibitor market is experiencing explosive growth, having surged from approximately 50 million RMB to 2.45 billion RMB in just 5 years. As oral drugs progressively replace traditional injectables, TaiGen is dedicated to advancing this innovative program to meet the urgent clinical need for convenient and compliant therapies.”

WOVEN WOVEN ANSWERS PARENTAL DEMAND: LAUNCHES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED 3KG WEIGHTED BLANKET COLLECTION TO SUPPORT GROWING CHILDREN

SYDNEY, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — woven woven, the multi-award-winning Australian start-up and pioneering disruptor in children’s wellness, today announced the expansion of its acclaimed collection with the launch of a new, highly demanded 3.0kg weighted blanket. Designed as a direct response to parents navigating their children’s growth spurts, this new weight ensures that older children (approx. 30kg – 35kg) can continue to receive the therapeutic benefits of a precise, comforting embrace.

“We listened intently to the shared emotion and need from our community,” said Joey Chang, Founder of woven woven. “As children grow, their need for emotional regulation doesn’t stop and our blankets need to grow at the same time. The launch of our new 3kg blanket is our promise to parents that we are growing with their little ones, ensuring the therapeutic relief they rely on continues into those critical school years.”

The Mighty Hug: Designed for Secure Sleep and Growing Minds

The foundation of the collection remains the brand’s revolutionary bead-free, filling-free design. This core innovation removes the safety concern of leaking fillers, offering parents an unmatched sense of security and trust. The blanket’s weight is seamlessly integrated into the natural fibres, delivering noise-free, consistent pressure—a gentle, non-intrusive hug that helps soothe anxiety and melt away the day’s overstimulation.

The new 3.0kg blanket is 140cm, slightly longer than the 2.2kg blanket, ensuring it comfortably drapes over growing child, maintaining the crucial pressure needed for effective deep pressure stimulation (aka. better calm, better sleep).

The Wattle Collection – An Emotional Ode to Our Australian Roots

The first 3.0kg blanket was offered in the brand’s most requested fibre: Certified Organic Cotton (Cream Beige) which sold out immediately to their members’ waitlist. Catering to little ones with sensitive skin, this material is GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certified, guaranteeing it is free from toxic dyes, heavy metals, and harsh chemical treatments.

As a natural extension, woven woven announced they will also extend 3.0kg into their award-winning Bamboo Collection, featuring two new Australian native colours inspired by the Wattle flower: Olive Green  (wattle leaves) and Sunshine Yellow (wattle flower). These colours are intentionally chosen to harness the psychological benefits of nature—grounding stability and gentle optimism—further demonstrating the brand’s holistic approach to children’s wellness.

The Bamboo Advantage: The choice of bamboo fibre—means it is naturally more cooling, gentler on skin and as a moisture-wicking fibre, it has the ability to pull moisture away from the skin, making it especially good for skin prone to heat rash and allergies, a critical factor for many families.

“The power of pure comfort cannot be overstated,” Chang adds. “By eliminating irritants, we provide a clean sensory experience, wrapping the child in softness and security, allowing their body and mind to truly rest.”

About woven woven

woven woven is an Australian family-run company recognised globally for disrupting the children’s weighted blanket market with its innovative bead-free, filling-free design. Founded on the principle of providing therapeutic, safe, and sustainable sensory tools, woven woven blankets are consistently rated best in class by industry experts and discerning parents worldwide. The brand is a multiple award-winner, including Forbes Vetted Best of 2025, Kiindred Awards Expert’s Choice, and theSkimm’s 2025 Good For You Awards.

Each project is developed under an “all-in-one” urban model that ensures outstanding convenience and elevates quality of life to the highest standards.

Vinhomes’ capability to execute large-scale developments also sets it apart from regional peers. The company has continuously introduced mega-projects spanning hundreds to thousands of hectares, all delivered with strict adherence to schedule, quality, and holistic synchrony, from transportation infrastructure and landscape design to comprehensive internal amenities.

Notably, the expert council highly commended Vinhomes’ green projects and its green, sustainable, and long-term value development orientation. In 2025, Vinhomes continues to play a leading role in supplying the regional real estate market with the simultaneous launch of new projects such as Vinhomes Wonder City (Hanoi), Vinhomes Golden City (Hai Phong), and Vinhomes Green City (Tay Ninh).

In particular, the groundbreaking of the Vinhomes Green Paradise mega-project in Can Gio, Ho Chi Minh City, developed under the ESG++ sustainable development model with a scale of up to 2,870 hectares, is expected to become a symbol of green living, sustainable investment, and nature regeneration, an iconic project of global significance that will help shape the future of urban development.

Ms. Nguyen Thu Hang, CEO of Vinhomes, shared: “The ‘Developer of the Year Southeast Asia 2025’ award is a tremendous honor for Vinhomes and a meaningful recognition of our persistent journey in creating sustainable living values over many years. This achievement will further empower us to continue pioneering the creation of more livable, greener, smarter, and more humane urban developments, where each resident not only finds a place to live, but also finds trust, life values, and a sustainable future for generations to come.”

From a bold idea launched 10 years ago, the Dot Property Awards have become one of the most prestigious and trusted real estate awards in the region, honoring pioneers who are directly shaping the future of Southeast Asia’s property market.

Vinhomes’ achievement in surpassing numerous regional peers to be named “Developer of the Year Southeast Asia 2025” reaffirms its credibility, strong financial capacity, and exceptional project execution capabilities. This recognition also contributes to elevating the position of Vietnam’s real estate sector on the regional map.

Previously, the Vinhomes brand and its projects have continuously received recognition from numerous prestigious awards, including Outstanding Enterprise of Asia at APEA 2025; the Elite Award, the highest honor in the Top 10 Outstanding Developers category for over 10 years, at the Hubexo Asia Awards 2025; Vietnam’s Most Valuable Real Estate Brand 2025 as announced by Brand Finance; the Special Award for Vinhomes Global Gate (Hanoi) and the Gold Award for Vinhomes Royal Island (Hai Phong) at the National Urban Planning Awards 2024.
