Novel Gene Therapy for ALS cleared for global trials in China and the U.S.

BEIJING, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SineuGene Therapeutics Co., Ltd. (“SineuGene”), clinical-stage biotechnology company that mainly focuses on gene therapies for neurological disorders, announced today that China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SNUG01, a groundbreaking gene therapy product for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This milestone follows a prior clearance of SNUG01’s IND application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March 2025, paving the way for the initiation of a Phase I/IIa multi-regional clinical trial (MRCT) in both China and the United States.

SNUG01 is a first-in-class recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (rAAV9) based gene therapy product that expresses the human TRIM72 protein (Tripartite Motif Protein 72), a new drug target for ALS initially identified and characterized by Dr. Yichang Jia’s group at Tsinghua University, upon delivery to the central nervous system (CNS), particularly motor neurons. This global Phase I/IIa trial will evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of SNUG01 and identify dosage for further clinical development in adults with ALS. The study will be conducted in multiple leading academic centers in both countries, including the Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital (U.S.), Peking University Third Hospital, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Fujian Medical University Union Hospital.

“The dual clearance accelerates and validates the strategy for the development of potentially transformative therapies for people with ALS worldwide”, said Professor Merit Cudkowicz, Director of the Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Massachusetts General Hospital and global principal investigator of the trial. “We are pleased to collaborate on this study and look forward to evaluating the therapy’s potential impact on patients living with ALS.”

The regulatory clearances that have been conducted in both the U.S. and China, demonstrating the momentum behind SNUG01’s global development. Through strategic collaborations and scientific rigor, SineuGene is advancing its first-in-class gene therapy to address the unmet and urgent needs of the global ALS community.

About SNUG01

SNUG01, developed by SineuGene via its proprietary AAV technology platform, is a first-in-class gene therapy product using TRIM72 as the gene of interest. TRIM72 was identified as a potential therapeutic gene based on foundational research from Dr. Yichang Jia’s lab at Tsinghua University. SNUG01 utilizes a rAAV9 vector to deliver the human TRIM72 to neurons via intrathecal administration. Preclinical studies have shown that TRIM72 expression could counteract ALS pathogenesis through multiple mechanisms, including reducing oxidative stress, enhancing neuronal membrane repair capacity, restoring mitochondrial homeostasis, inhibiting neuroinflammatory cascades, and suppressing stress granule dysregulation. This multi-dimensional action delays motor neuron degeneration in patients with ALS.

A recently completed investigator-initiated trial (IIT) in China demonstrated SNUG01’s favorable safety, along with early signs of clinical efficacy and biomarker improvements. Crucially, unlike ALS therapies targeting specific genetic mutations, SNUG01’s broad neuroprotective mechanism holds the potential to benefit the sporadic ALS patients —a population occupying over 90% of ALS patients and currently lacking effective treatment options. These promising results support SNUG01’s continued global development.

About ALS

ALS is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor neuron degeneration in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, atrophy, and eventually respiratory failure. Median survival time is 3-5 years. Despite being the most prevalent adult-onset motor neuron disease, existing therapies offer limited clinical benefits, slowing progression marginally and leaving no curative options for patients.

About SineuGene

SineuGene Therapeutics Co., Ltd. is a clinical-stage biotech company pioneering innovative therapies, focusing on AAV-based and nucleic acid-based treatments, for neurological disorders. Founded in late 2021, the company’s initial pipeline was built upon foundational research led by Dr. Yichang Jia at Tsinghua University’s School of Medicine. SineuGene leverages cutting-edge technologies, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) mediated gene delivery and antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) based gene regulation, to develop a robust pipeline targeting central nervous system disorders including ALS, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), and Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3). SineuGene is committed to translating scientific discoveries into transformative therapies for patients worldwide with unmet and urgent medical needs.

CoinW Completes Major Platform Upgrade, Entering a New Era in the Future of Trading

HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As digital assets and decentralized technologies evolve at a rapid pace, user expectations for trading platforms have grown from simple transactions to a comprehensive, all-scenario, all-asset, and all-mode experience. Integrated ecosystems are fast becoming the industry’s defining trend.

CoinW, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency asset trading platforms, today announced the completion of a full-scale upgrade to its platform architecture and business framework. This milestone unites CoinW’s diversified investments and ecosystem initiatives worldwide, spanning centralized and decentralized trading, foundational public chain infrastructure, and institutional-grade services, into a fully interconnected global digital asset ecosystem.

Shaping the Future of Trading
Shaping the Future of Trading

The result is a high-performance, secure, and flexible environment for both asset management and trading.

From Fragmented to Unified: A New Chapter in the Future of Trading

For over a decade, digital asset exchanges have been the primary gateway to the blockchain world. Each major leap forward has come from innovation in trading models and improvements in user experience. Early platforms relied on centralized matching, offering high efficiency and liquidity but limited decentralization, with assets in full custody by the platform. As market needs grew, exchanges expanded to spot, derivatives, earn, Launchpad, and other services, creating the foundation of a multi-faceted product ecosystem.

The rise of DeFi brought unique advantages in asset self-custody and on-chain transparency, attracting a surge of users and capital. To balance liquidity, efficiency, and autonomy, many platforms began integrating CEX and DEX capabilities, allowing users to switch freely between them.

However, the growing diversity of on-chain assets, increasing demand for cross-chain trading, and large-scale institutional participation have revealed the limits of this hybrid model. Data silos, restricted asset flows, and inefficient strategy execution now hinder the user experience. The market needs a new platform architecture that delivers truly seamless, borderless trading.

CoinW’s full-stack integration upgrade answers this demand. Built on a unified account system and strategy engine, the platform deeply combines trading, settlement, custody, and assetization. It introduces AI-driven strategy execution and cross-scenario asset access, enabling smooth collaboration across asset classes, trading modes, and market environments. Both individuals and institutions can now deploy strategies, trade assets, and grow portfolios in one connected system.

This upgrade is not only a technological and operational leap—it marks a milestone as CoinW enters a new era in the Future of Trading.

Three Core Features of the Upgraded CoinW Platform

  • Strategy-Driven Execution: The system automatically routes between AMM and CLOB based on user behavior and market conditions, while assisting in optimizing order execution strategies.
  • Multi-Scenario Asset Access: Supports on-chain settlement, MPC self-custody, and trading of diverse asset classes including RWA (such as government bonds, equities, gold, and REITs).
  • Modular Functionality: Users can activate centralized, decentralized, or institutional trading modules as needed, with a unified account system ensuring seamless data and capital flows.

Four Pillars Powering a Complete Ecosystem

Following its full-stack integration upgrade, CoinW’s investment and strategic ecosystem is now anchored by four core pillars. Each pillar offers a complete suite of functions and services, designed to address the diverse needs of different user segments in trading and asset management.

Backed by a unified infrastructure, data and assets can move seamlessly across multiple scenarios, chains, and asset classes—ensuring a consistent user experience and efficient resource allocation. This “clear division of roles, unified architecture, and unified account system” approach delivers greater flexibility and scalability across the entire ecosystem.

  • CoinW Integrated Trading Platform: Operating in over 200 countries and regions, supporting a wide range of mainstream and long-tail trading pairs. The platform leverages AI strategy tools and multi-layer risk controls to deliver intelligent order routing and optimized matching, providing users with an efficient and secure trading experience in a centralized environment.
  • GemW On-Chain Asset Aggregation Platform: Aggregates high-potential and long-tail on-chain assets. Users can trade instantly without configuring a wallet or holding gas tokens — simply by entering a contract address. Powered by the LENS model, the platform combines on-chain data, social sentiment, and project analysis to help users identify promising assets.
  • DeriW Public Blockchain Infrastructure: Built on a Rollup architecture with processing capacity of up to 80,000 TPS, enabling zero-gas perpetual futures trading and transparent on-chain matching. It also offers high-yield LP liquidity pools to deliver an efficient, transparent, and low-cost on-chain trading experience.
  • PropW Proprietary Trading Platform: Designed for professional traders and institutional investors, offering quantitative trading tools, API access, flexible risk management solutions, and cross-market strategy support. The platform meets the demands of high-frequency and large-volume trading, providing an institutional-grade experience within a unified account system.

CoinW Core Ecosystem
CoinW Core Ecosystem

“Digital asset services are evolving from single-point trading to full-stack ecosystems, with increasing demand for cross-scenario liquidity and consistent user experiences,” said Nassar Al Achkar, Chief Strategy Officer of CoinW. “Through a unified account system, we eliminate the boundaries that restrict asset management. This reflects not only our commitment to enhancing the user experience but also our strategic vision for global ecosystem synergy. CoinW is dedicated to building the financial gateway of the future, delivering a seamless and sustainable digital asset service.”

Looking ahead, CoinW will continue to expand the range of supported on-chain assets, advance its AI strategy engine, and improve multi-chain and cross-scenario integration. As digital assets become an integral part of global financial infrastructure, CoinW will leverage its unified account system and full-stack architecture to provide a smooth, efficient, and secure service experience.

More than just an upgrade, it marks the official dawn of the “Future of Trading.”

Absen A25 Series Brings 3D Panda to KL’s Golden Triangle


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 August 2025 – Absen has transformed the McDonald’s intersection in Kuala Lumpur’s Golden Triangle into a global digital landmark with its A25 series outdoor giant screen and a groundbreaking naked-eye 3D panda animation. The first project in Absen’s Global 20 Super Landmark Cases Plan, it marks a milestone in company’s 20-year global journey, merging cutting-edge display tech with creative storytelling to turn one of Asia’s busiest hubs into an international destination for digital art and public engagement.

Picture: Giant Screen in the Golden Triangle of KL

Located near the Petronas Towers, the site draws over 500,000 pedestrians daily. To stand out, Absen partnered with a Spanish visual design team to create an immersive narrative: a giant panda peeks from behind curtain, slips while reaching for bamboo, floats in zero gravity, and is pulled into a swirling vortex—before “I Love KL” appears and the panda lands playfully, sparking cheers and social sharing. Each scene breaks screen boundary, delivering powerful visual impact with strong viral potential.

“Malaysians have a natural affection for pandas,” said Sophia, Absen’s Malaysia Outdoor Advertising Manager. “This isn’t just advertising—it’s an urban-scale interactive experience that makes the screen part of city’s collective memory.”

Built for high-traffic, high-challenge urban environments, the A25 features IP66 full-sealing and a five-layer waterproof interface, ensuring reliability in high heat, humidity, and monsoon rains. Its advanced power-saving technology reduces energy consumption by over 50% compared to conventional displays, saving up to USD 200,000 in electricity over five years for a 300㎡ screen—dramatically lowering total cost of ownership.

A client representative said: “We chose Absen for efficiency, durability, and image quality. But more importantly, it helps us create something iconic—not just another ad. With 3D storytelling and custom pandas, we make it fun, not boring.”

Since launching its first overseas screen in Saudi Arabia in 2005, Absen has deployed over 2 million displays worldwide. “We make low power consumption a core focus of our R&D,” said Shaun, Absen VP & R&D Director. “The A25 redefines the ‘low-carbon landmark’ — energy-smart, reliable, and city-activating. Backed by a 10-year warranty, it sets a new standard for outdoor displays.”

As the first of 20 global landmarks, the Kuala Lumpur project embodies Absen’s vision: where technology, creativity, and urban culture converge to shape future of public spaces.

Share Repurchase Update

In March 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”) under which the Company may repurchase up to US$10 million worth of its ordinary shares or American depositary shares (“ADS”) representing ordinary shares. As of July 31, 2025, the Company had repurchased an aggregate of approximately 10.6 million ADSs for approximately US$9.9 million from the open market under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

In August 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$10 million worth of its ordinary shares or ADSs representing ordinary shares, effective immediately upon the termination of the 2024 Share Repurchase Program.

The Company’s proposed repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and/or through other legally permissible means, depending on market conditions and in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial results presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has provided non-GAAP information related to income from operations, net income, net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of Tuniu Corporation, which excludes share-based compensation expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, net gain on disposals of subsidiaries and impairment of property and equipment, net. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are useful for understanding and assessing underlying business performance and operating trends, and management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our financial performance and when planning and forecasting future periods.

This non-GAAP financial measure is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure has limitations as an analytical tool. Further, this non-GAAP measure may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore its comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. Tuniu encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliations of GAAP and non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
