YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. and SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) announced an intention to collaborate on the groundwork for networked distributed quantum computing, to be realized as soon as the early 2030s. By combining IBM’s leadership in building useful quantum computers with Cisco’s quantum networking innovations, the companies plan to explore how to scale large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers beyond IBM’s ambitious roadmap. Additionally, they will work to solve fundamental challenges towards a quantum computing internet.

Within five years, IBM and Cisco will aim to demonstrate the first proof-of-concept for a network that combines individual, large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers, enabling them to work together to run computations over tens to hundreds of thousands of qubits. This network would allow problems to be run with potentially trillions of quantum gates, the fundamental entangling operations required for transformative quantum applications such as massive optimization problems, or the design of complex materials and medicines.

“At IBM, our roadmap includes plans to deliver large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers before the end of the decade,” said Jay Gambetta, Director of IBM Research and IBM Fellow. “By working with Cisco to explore how to link multiple quantum computers like these together into a distributed network, we will pursue how to further scale quantum’s computational power. And as we build the future of compute, our vision will push the frontiers of what quantum computers can do within a larger high-performance computing architecture.”

“Getting quantum computing to useful scale is not just about building bigger individual machines, it is also about connecting them together,” said Vijoy Pandey, GM/SVP at Outshift by Cisco. “IBM is building quantum computers with aggressive roadmaps for scale-up, and we are bringing quantum networking that enables scale-out. Together, we are solving this as a complete system problem, including the hardware to connect quantum computers, the software to run computations across them, and the networking intelligence that makes them work.”

Scaling a Distributed Quantum Computing Network

IBM and Cisco intend to explore the development of quantum hardware and software that could physically link many large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers together to form networked distributed quantum computing.

The companies are targeting an initial proof-of-concept demonstration by the end of 2030, for which they plan to entangle qubits from multiple separate quantum computers located in distinct cryogenic environments. Doing so will require the companies to invent new connections, including microwave-optical transducers and a supporting software stack.

The Cisco vision for a quantum data center introduces an architecture for quantum networking infrastructure that could make distributed quantum computing a reality in the near future. This vision includes a complete hardware and software stack that aims to preserve fragile quantum states, distribute entanglement resources, facilitate teleportation between quantum computers, and synchronize operations with sub-nanosecond precision.

To scale beyond linking two quantum computers that are separate but physically close, IBM and Cisco are planning to explore how to transmit qubits over longer distances, such as between buildings or data centers. To achieve this, the companies will explore optical-photon and microwave-optical transducer technologies, as well as investigate how they can be incorporated into a quantum network to transfer quantum information as needed.

Linking together multiple quantum computers will require an appropriate interface. IBM plans to build a quantum networking unit (QNU) to serve as the interface to a quantum processing unit (QPU), with the explicit task of taking stationary quantum information in the QPU and converting it into “flying” quantum information through the QNU to then be further linked across potentially multiple quantum computers through a network.

Cisco’s quantum network would aim to distribute the entanglements to arbitrary pairs of these QNUs on an on-demand basis to drive the quantum information transfer required for a given quantum algorithm or application. Towards this goal, Cisco is developing a high-speed software protocol framework that can continuously and dynamically reconfigure network paths so entanglements could be distributed to the QNUs when they are done with their partial computations.

Together, the companies plan to investigate how a network bridge, comprised of novel hardware and open-source software, could use Cisco quantum network nodes to link many IBM QPUs within a data center through its QNU interface. In the future, this approach could be extended to link QPUs across multiple data centers. This would scale a larger quantum network across even larger distances to form the groundwork for a future quantum computing internet.

IBM quantum computers linked by this architecture could facilitate massively computationally demanding workloads, including those that require high-performance computing resources as part of a quantum-centric supercomputing framework.

Towards this vision, IBM is also working with the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS), led by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, in its role as a member of four of the U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science and Research Centers. Together, IBM and SQMS intend to investigate how many QNUs could be used within quantum data centers, and they are planning an initial demonstration of multiple connected QPUs within the next three years.  

The Foundation of a Quantum Computing Internet

Building a distributed and scalable quantum computing network will create a pathway towards an exponentially large computational space and enable the expansion of diverse technologies, which could begin to form a future quantum computing internet by the late 2030s.

A quantum computing internet provides a future where many distributed quantum-based technologies, such as quantum computers, quantum sensors, and quantum communications are connected and share information across distances, such as a metro region and eventually, at a planetary scale. This bold vision could facilitate new possibilities such as ultra-secure communications, or precise monitoring of climate, weather, and seismic activity.

As another part of their current intention to collaborate, IBM and Cisco plan to co-fund academic research and collaborative projects to advance the broader quantum ecosystem, following a long history of fostering research in academic and national labs.

Henlius’ Serplulimab (anti-PD-1 mAb) Granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation by China NMPA for Neo-/Adjuvant Treatment for Gastric Cancer

By
Advertorial Desk
-
  • The first CDE-designated Breakthrough Therapy for perioperative gastric cancer, promising accelerated patient access.
  • The world’s first gastric cancer perioperative regimen replacing chemotherapy with immunotherapy alone in the adjuvant setting has met primary endpoints in its phase 3 clinical trial, significantly reducing recurrence risk and improving cure rates. 
  • No immunotherapy has been approved globally for gastric cancer perioperative treatment – HANSIZHUANG is poised to address this unmet medical need.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (2696.HK) announced that its self-developed innovative anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody HANSIZHUANG (serplulimab, Hetronifly® in Europe), in combination with chemotherapy for neo-/adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer, has been officially granted the Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This marks the first gastric cancer perioperative drug to receive the CDE’s BTD. Previously, the phase 3 clinical trial of this therapy met its primary endpoints. As the world’s first perioperative gastric cancer treatment regimen replacing chemotherapy with immunotherapy alone in the adjuvant setting, it demonstrates potential to deliver dual breakthroughs in survival benefits and quality of life for patients.

In accordance with the relative measures of Administration of Drug Registration and the Announcement of the NMPA on the Release of Three Documents including the Working Procedures for Review of Breakthrough Therapeutics (Trial) (No. 82 of 2020), the BTD procedure is designed to expedite the development and review of therapies that are intended for treatment of a seriously debilitating or life-threatening condition for which there is no existing treatment and where preliminary evidence indicates advantages of the therapy over available treatment options. According to the CDE, drug candidates with BTD may be eligible for conditional approval and priority review when submitting a New Drug Application (NDA).

Gastric cancer is a highly prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, ranking fifth in both incidence and mortality among all cancers [1]. In China, the number of new cases and deaths from gastric cancer reached 359,000 and 260,000 respectively in 2022, ranking fifth and third among all malignant tumors [2], reflecting a substantial disease burden. Currently, radical surgery remains the primary treatment for gastric cancer. However, clinical practice faces multiple challenges, including low rates of surgical resection, a limited proportion of radical resections, and high postoperative recurrence rates in patients with stage 2 or higher disease. Therefore, improving resection rates and exploring effective non-surgical treatment strategies have become key research directions in gastric cancer management [3]. Against this backdrop, the role of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy has become increasingly prominent [4]. Neoadjuvant therapy aims to downstage tumors, increase the rate of complete resection, and achieve maximal pathological response. Adjuvant therapy, on the other hand, focuses on eliminating minimal residual disease after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. Currently, chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy represents the mainstream perioperative treatment strategy for gastric cancer [5-7]. Nevertheless, recurrence rates remain high. Additionally, many patients experience interruptions in adjuvant therapy due to slow postoperative recovery or poor tolerance to chemotherapy, which directly affects their long-term survival outcomes.

The ASTRUM-006 trial—a phase 3 study evaluating HANSIZHUANG combined with chemotherapy as neo-/adjuvant treatment for gastric cancer—is the first perioperative Phase 3 registration study in China to report positive results, It aims to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of HANSIZHUANG plus chemotherapy compared with placebo plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant, followed by HANSIZHUANG monotherapy as adjuvant therapy, in patients with early-stage gastric cancer. Interim analysis results demonstrated that the combination of HANSIZHUANG and chemotherapy significantly extended event-free survival (EFS) and achieved a pathological complete response (pCR) rate more than three times that of the control group, significantly reducing the risk of recurrence with an overall manageable safety profile. The study pioneers a novel “chemotherapy-free” adjuvant treatment model. This approach not only enhances the potential for cure but also achieves a superior balance between efficacy and safety by avoiding chemotherapy-related toxicities, thereby substantially improving patient treatment adherence and quality of life. Currently, no immunotherapy is approved globally for the perioperative treatment of gastric cancer. As a multicenter clinical trial initiated by a Chinese company and led by Chinese investigators, ASTRUM-006 fully demonstrates China’s innovative capacity and leadership in the field of oncology. The recent granting of BTD authoritatively recognizes HANSIZHUANG’s potential and clinical value in the perioperative setting of gastric cancer, which is expected to accelerate its regulatory review and market approval, potentially filling the current gap in immunotherapy for this indication.

Going forward, Henlius will fast-track this innovative therapy to market, bridging a clinical breakthrough into tangible survival benefits. We are committed to bringing new hope to patients through a superior treatment option.

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 November 2025 – China showcased its environmental achievements at a side session during the 30th UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, on November 10, underscoring its broader vision of ecological civilization and its ongoing efforts to address climate change.

image-1.jpeg

The event, held at the China Pavilion under the theme on ecological civilization and the practice of building a “Beautiful China,”, brought together senior Chinese officials and top United Nations climate leaders.

China’s Minister of Ecology and Environment (MEE) Huang Runqiu said at the event that the country has placed ecological civilization at an “unprecedented height” since 2012, integrating carbon reduction, pollution control, ecosystem restoration, and high-quality growth.

“China has created remarkable ecological and green development miracles,” he said, adding that the country will continue advancing ecological civilization with broader vision and stronger measures while implementing its national strategy and promoting the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative, for tackling climate change, to help address climate change.

Other keynote speakers included the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) Executive Director Inger Andersen, Selwin Hart, Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on Climate Action and Just Transition, and China’s special envoy for climate change Liu Zhenmin.

Li Gao, China’s COP30 delegation head and vice minister of MEE, chaired the opening remarks session.

Li said China remains a “determined actor and major contributor to global green development,” and will continue constructive engagement in multilateral climate processes while upholding the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. He called for strengthened unity to build “a clean, beautiful and sustainable world.”

Stiell described China as “a cornerstone of global climate action,” emphasizing its long-standing role in South-South cooperation and sustained commitment to dialogue under the Paris Agreement framework. He said China’s practical contributions have advanced international climate governance.

UNEP’s Andersen said China’s guiding concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” reflects “deep development wisdom.” She noted China’s global leadership in multiple sectors, including electric vehicle production and sales, declining energy intensity per unit of GDP, and the rapid expansion of its national carbon market. These achievements, she said, offer “valuable lessons to countries charting their own green transitions.”

Hart stressed that COP30 must become a “turning point” in humanity’s response to the escalating climate crisis. The first decade under the Paris Agreement has shown that climate goals are achievable, he said, urging nations to adopt stronger collective action over the next 10 years to bring global climate governance back on track.

Climate envoy Liu Zhenmin underscored the symbolic timing: the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the fifth year since China announced its carbon peaking and neutrality pledges. He highlighted China’s new nationally determined contribution unveiled on Sept. 24, which for the first time outlines economy-wide net emissions reductions after reaching carbon peak and details major accompanying actions. The updated commitments, he said, send a “strong signal of China’s firm resolve” to tackle climate change.

During the event, two reports that highlight China’s ecological civilization progress and its updated climate policy roadmap were released, providing new data and case studies on green development and climate action. In parallel, a public-interest song promoting environmental awareness was launched globally.

Hosted by the MEE and the Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization Research Center, the session aimed to share experience, build consensus, and support the COP30 agenda.

Echoing the theme of the HKMW 2025, the HKSAR Government’s Secretary for Transport and Logistics, Mable Chan, said green transformation is a major global trend in the maritime industry. To help meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions from international shipping by 2050, the government was bringing together all parties, including fuel suppliers and other IMO members to achieve this goal as a joint force.

In a media interview, Ms Chan outlined recent government initiatives to promote green shipping. These include announcing the Code of Practice on LNG Bunkering and Code of Practice on Methanol Bunkering, and launching the Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering Incentive Scheme to provide incentives to pioneer companies conducting green maritime fuel bunkering businesses in Hong Kong for relevant bunkering operations.

“The government facilitated the conduct of the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship-to-ship bunkering demonstration by the industry in February 2025. Since then, 13 commercial LNG bunkering operations have been successfully conducted, regularising the provision of commercial LNG bunkering services in Hong Kong,” Ms Chan said. “These demonstrate Hong Kong’s great potential in developing green maritime fuel bunkering.”

Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government, highlighted opportunities arising from decarbonisation. Speaking at the Hong Kong Global Maritime Trade Summit (November 17) themed “Building Resilience, Driving Growth and Investment”, Mr Chan said that maritime decarbonisation represents a “multi-trillion-dollar investment opportunity” through 2050.

“The transition to zero-emission marine fuels could create up to 4 million jobs globally across the energy supply chain,” he said. “Here in Hong Kong, we are embracing this. For example, we have published an Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering, positioning ourselves as a regional hub for sustainable fuel supply. Our goal is to provide bunkering services for green fuels to ocean-going vessels more than 60 times per year by 2030, involving over 200,000 tonnes of green maritime fuels.”

Hong Kong ranks fourth, globally, in the International Shipping Centre Development Index for six consecutive years and is home to more than 1,200 port and maritime-related companies, a thriving cluster of global leaders in ship management, finance, insurance and law.

To enhance the city’s leading position in high value-added maritime services, Mr Lee said Hong Kong would make good use of its “one country, two systems” advantages, including being China’s only bilingual common law jurisdiction as well as offering a simple and low tax regime, free port status and the unfettered flow of capital, information and talent.

Ms Chan said, “We will strengthen collaboration with international marine insurance organisations to upscale the training of marine insurance talents, whilst expanding the scope of the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund to cover more green energy courses, thereby reinforcing Hong Kong maritime strengths.”

By harnessing the power of AI, blockchain, cloud computing and other cutting-edge technologies, Hong Kong is developing a Port Community System, to be launched in January 2026. It will enable real-time cargo tracking and facilitate data exchange across transport modes, boosting trade and capital flows digitally, opening up new opportunities, from trade financing to more efficient customs declaration.
