煙台2024年8月6日 /美通社/ -- 8月5日，榮昌生物製藥（煙台）股份有限公司（688331.SH/09995.HK）宣佈，由公司自主研發的BLyS/APRIL雙靶點融合蛋白創新藥泰它西普（RC18，商品名：泰愛®）用於治療全身型重症肌無力（gMG）的全球多中心Ⅲ期臨床研究，近日順利實現美國首例患者入組。 這一里程碑事件標誌著泰它西普在全球範圍內的臨床研究邁出了重要一步，將為全球重症肌無力患者帶來新的希望。此前，泰它西普重症肌無力適應症獲美國食品和藥品管理局（FDA）孤兒藥和快速通道資格認定，獲中國國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）突破性療法認定。目前，重症肌無力適應症的國內Ⅲ期臨床試驗已經基本完成，近期將有結果讀出。 此項全球多中心Ⅲ期臨床為隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照的研究，旨在評價泰它西普治療全身型重症肌無力（gMG）患者的有效性和安全性，計劃招募來自全球多個國家和地區的180名患者。 重症肌無力（MG）是一種罕見的、慢性自身免疫性疾病，會導致神經肌肉接頭傳遞受損，可不同程度影響眼球運動、吞嚥、言語、活動和呼吸功能。根據弗若斯特沙利文報告，全球重症肌無力患者人數預計2025年達到114.60萬，其中美國患者人數約為6.95萬，中國患者人數約為21.67萬。 目前，針對重症肌無力的主要治療方法包括膽鹼酯酶抑制劑、糖皮質激素以及免疫抑制劑，缺乏有效的精準靶向治療手段，導致部分患者因藥物療效、耐受性或使用禁忌等問題無法充分有效地控制病情，存在大量未被滿足的臨床需求。 近年來，B細胞靶向治療在重症肌無力中顯示出較好的治療前景，研究發現，相比傳統免疫治療方案，B細胞靶向治療可顯著降低重症肌無力的復發率，且停藥率低。泰它西普是一個雙靶抗體融合蛋白，可同時靶向BLyS和APRIL，直擊致病性抗體產生的源頭——B細胞及漿細胞，從而減少致病性抗體的產生，發揮治療作用。臨床研究結果顯示，泰它西普可持續有效改善全身型重症肌無力患者的臨床狀況。 泰它西普自2021年3月在國內獲批上市以來，已有超過4萬名患者從中獲益，療效優異且具有良好安全性。目前泰它西普除治療系統性紅斑狼瘡、類風濕關節炎兩大適應症已在國內獲批上市外，重症肌無力、乾燥綜合征、IgA腎炎、視神經脊髓炎等適應症將可能從今年起陸續申報國內上市。
SINGAPORE, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trip.Biz, the corporate travel arm of Trip.com Group, released its Corporate Travel Management Market White Paper, highlighting the key trends and behaviours in the business travel landscape. Informed by nearly 2,000 respondents*, the White Paper included data from an online survey and face-to-face interviews, as well as third-party research. Corporate travel soars, especially in Asia Like leisure travel, business travel is on the rise. Global business travel spending maintained strong growth in the first half of 2023 and is expected to recover to USD 1.5 trillion by 2024, according to a report issued by the Global Business Travel Association. The APAC region is leading in business travel expenditure, with a projected growth of 41.2%. Specifically, business travel spending in Singapore, Thailand, and New Zealand is expected to grow by more than 75%, ranking these countries as the top three in the region. Additionally, Japan and South Korea, along with European counterparts Italy and the UK, are also experiencing rapid growth in business travel spending. Trip.Biz is staying ahead of the region's meteoric rise, with its headquarters in Singapore and partnerships with Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and London. Further expansions are also planned in Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and more. Elsewhere in Asia, China's resurgence as the world's largest business travel market is particularly noteworthy. Its business travel market recovered at a rate of 39.2% in 2023 and is expected to return to 2019 levels by 2024. The recovery of its outbound market has been driven by recent visa-free policies, with Southeast Asia emerging as a major destination. China is also attracting international travellers, with cities such as Hangzhou and Nanjing gaining prominence as business travel destinations. Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou remain among the most popular cities for business travel. AI and ESG: transforming business travel According to Trip.Biz's survey, over 50% of businesses said they are likely to adopt AI technologies. Travel managers and travellers expressed hope that AI could be used in itinerary planning, process optimisation, data analysis and more to minimise human error and repetitive tasks. Such advancements have the potential to revolutionise business travel management, and Trip.com Group has been at the forefront of this transformation, testing various "AI + tourism" applications. For instance, its intuitive AI assistant, TripGenie, can generate travel recommendations within seconds based on user prompts or questions in the app. Plans are also underway to make TripGenie available to business travellers on Trip.Biz. Moreover, AI has enhanced internal work efficiency at Trip.Biz and supported the customer service team in resolving inquiries and delivering a seamless experience for travellers. AI's impact extends beyond bookings and data gathering. It can also verify the authenticity of invoices during reimbursement, reducing administrative burdens. In the near future, AI is expected to amplify personalisation and become multimodal, though regulatory concerns remain. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly important for businesses and investors, with lower-emission flights and hotels taking lower-carbon initiatives being key considerations for pursuing more sustainable travel. 91.6% of business travellers are likely to choose these options. The top three business ESG measures include encouraging such choices, as well as prioritising employee welfare and advocating for paperless offices. To further this goal, Trip.Biz is one of the leading TMC companies to publish flight carbon emission data in 2022. By 2023, this expanded to include carbon emission data for hotels, trains, and cars in selected regions, along with corporate carbon emission credit accounts, carbon budgeting and control. Trends: the top likes and dislikes of business travellers International business travel is seeing distinct trends in traveller preferences emerge. For accommodation, business travellers surveyed cited flexibility and efficiency, a quiet environment and safety as their top priorities. Mid-range to high-end hotels are preferred among them. Regarding flight booking, direct routes are the most sought-after, even outweighing suitable flight arrival and departure times. Once on board, travellers also highly value comfort and service quality. Ground transportation is also evolving. Satisfaction with train and high-speed railway services is largely influenced by the overall environment, making the launch of Biz Travel's Train Seat Selection function in 2024 especially timely. This new feature enhances travel by allowing passengers to select their seats. For car use and rental, safety remains the top priority, even surpassing comfort and travel policies. Another key trend is the rise of "special forces" business travel, reflecting a rapid, military-style approach to travel favoured by younger professionals. This corporate travel trend emphasises advanced planning, efficient itineraries, and cost minimisation. For instance, such business travellers book typically book their trips at least two weeks in advance, arrive at airports 1.5 hours before departure, and often stay only 1-2 days in hotels. Check-ins generally occur around 19:00, with check-outs by 8:00, indicating a preference for tighter schedules. On the other end, "bleisure" travel is on the rise, with 95% of business travellers in 2023 expressing a willingness to combine business and leisure activities, a 3.7% increase from 2022. Overall, more business travellers are going further too, as more long-distance routes resume. Business travel offers great growth opportunities in a recovering market. However, companies also face challenges such as rising costs of flights, hotels and other travel services. Employees mention issues with accommodation conditions, sleep quality, and long transport times during trips. Post-trip, managing receipts and securing reimbursements can be challenging. "Trip.Biz aims to offer quality business travel solutions that address these challenges and maximise opportunities with an all-in-one digital business travel solution," said Violet Zong, Chief Marketing Officer of Trip.Biz. "Through initiatives such as offering extensive content with exclusive rates and data-driven consultancy, we are committed to providing seamless travel experiences that enhance productivity and support business growth."
