UK Certifies Protector As First of Its Kind Remotely Piloted Aircraft ACN Newswire

UK Certifies Protector As First of Its Kind Remotely Piloted Aircraft

SAN DIEGO, CA, May 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The UK's Military Aviation Authority has issued a Military Type Certificate to the Royal Air Force's Protector RG Mk1 uncrewed aircraft, also designated the MQ-9B, certifying that it has passed a rigorous airworthiness assessment and verifying it's safe to operate without geographic restrictions, including over populous areas. This April 29 decision was a first-of-its-kind milestone for a large, unmanned aircraft system. It's a huge accomplishment for the UK and a technological watershed in the history of unmanned aircraft systems. GA-ASI is the first manufacturer of large, unmanned aircraft to receive an MTC based on rigorous compliance with STANAG 4671, the NATO standard for unmanned aircraft system airworthiness.Obtaining the MTC has been a goal of GA-ASI since the inception of the MQ-9B in January 2014. The company took its proven UAS platform, the MQ-9A, and added performance enhancing features while ensuring that the design was capable of meeting NATO's STANAG 4671 Edition 2 airworthiness requirements. To meet those rigorous requirements, the aircraft incorporates numerous enhancements not found on other large UAS. These include lightning protection, fire protection, anti-icing systems and a fatigue-and-damage-tolerant building block design approach. All flight critical software was designed in compliance with the rigor of Do-178/254. Mission software is rigidly separated from flight critical software. These features not only address the aircraft's airworthiness but also enhance its reliability and operational flexibility to levels unmatched by other UAS."Earning an MTC for MQ-9B was a herculean effort and a seminal achievement for our company," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue. "We invested over $500 million as part of an 11-year effort to develop an unmanned aircraft that meets NATO's rigorous airworthiness standards. This included three flight test aircraft, full component and system-level environmental testing to Do-160 and Mil-Standards (system level environmental testing at Elgin and Pax River), full scale static test airframe test to ultimate ground and flight loads, bird strike, hail protection and full-scale fatigue testing to three lifetimes (3x 40,000 notional aircraft flight hours = 120,000 hours total). Our engineers developed over 140,000 pages of detailed technical data verifying that the MQ-9B met those demanding requirements. I congratulate our team for this outstanding accomplishment, and I know our customers need this type certification, which will open civil airspace for their flight operations."The Royal Air Force continues to take delivery of new Protector aircraft at their home in the North of England at RAF Waddington. The UK has 10 aircraft of the 16 it has ordered."Achieving the award of a first in class Military Type Certificate has required years of dedication and perseverance and is a testament to the hard work of all involved. It is a privilege to be the first to be awarded an MTC for the Protector Air System," said Gp. Capt. Neil Venables, Type Airworthiness Authority and holder of the Protector Type Certificate.MQ-9B is the world's most advanced medium altitude, long endurance UAS. MQ-9B includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models as well as the Protector operated by the RAF.In addition to the UK, GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan Coast Guard, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

(“CALB” or “the Company”, stock code: 3931.HK) announced that it intends to acquire 11% of the shares of A-share listed company Jiangsu Olive Sensors High-tech Corporation Limited (“Jiangsu Olive Sensors”, stock code: 300507.SZ) through the Share Transfer Agreement. Since the Jiangsu Olive Sensors’ original actual controller gives up majority of the voting rights, CALB will become the controlling shareholder and actual controller of Jiangsu Olive Sensors. The re-elected board of directors of Jiangsu Olive Sensors will consist of five directors, all of whom shall be nominated by CALB. In addition, Jiangsu Olive Sensors intends to private place its 15% shares to CALB, after these shares issuing, CALB’s shareholding and voting rights will increase to 22.61%.This transaction highlights expectations of the original actual controller of Jiangsu Olive Sensors for the strategic entry of CALB. Moreover, through the deep empowerment of CALB, Jiangsu Olive Sensors will be deeply integrated into the new energy industry chain, anchored in a broader market and sustained performance growth, and achieve a dual enhancement of performance and valuation in the wave of new energy development and revolution. Leveraging its global market presence and chain-leading position in the new energy sector, CALB will provide Jiangsu Olive Sensors with comprehensive, multi-scenario empowerment, further promoting Jiangsu Olive Sensors' future development across the upstream and downstream industrial chain.This transaction is one of the limited cases that H-share listed company acquires A-share listed company since the introduction of the “Six Articles on M&A”. It will become another benchmark case for M&A and restructuring to enliven the capital market and promote industrial upgrading. In April 2024, State Council of China issued “Nine New Guidelines” for capital market, which clearly indicated that it would intensify the reform of M&A and take measures to activate the market of M&A and restructuring. In September 2024, China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the New Measures Aimed at Guiding Mergers and Acquisitions among Listed Companies, which further pointed out that it supports listed companies to transform and upgrade themselves in the new qualitative productivity and encourages listed companies to strengthen industrial integration.In the background of M&A and restructuring wave continues to promote, CALB’s acquisition of holding Jiangsu Olive Sensors is a positive response to the national strategy but also plays a strategic practice of the “chain leader” role leading the new energy industry chain. This transaction will help to achieve the strong combination of the two companies and together to promote the high-quality development of the new energy industry through the two companies’ synergistic empowerment in many areas. Industry insiders pointed out that industrial upgrading and efficiency improvement due to M&A and integration is expected to result in a valuation premium, and industry chain leaders will have more opportunities for valuation reshaping.In fact, CALB and the target company Jiangsu Olive Sensors are both in the automotive industry chain and are the leading enterprises in their respective segments.

In the field of energy storage sector, CALB has established cooperative relationship with the “Five Leading and Six Major” power groups, and has achieved strategic cooperation with many leading enterprises such as Sungrow Power, SPIC, CNN Rich Energy and China Energy Construction, etc. In 2024, CALB’s installed capacity of EV batterie ranked fourth globally and the third domestically, and its energy storage cell shipments also ranked fifth globally, building a closed loop of the new energy industry ecosystem with a diversified layout covering all scenarios such as passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, energy storage, ships, and eVTOL.For CALB, this acquisition will also further enhance the Company's value. It is reported that Jiangsu Olive Sensors, the target of this acquisition, is one of the leading domestic automotive sensor companies. The company has more than 30 years of professional experience in the industry. Since 2022, its revenue growth has continued to grow at double digits, and its business transformation has shown results. In recent years, with the rapid innovation of the automotive industry, new energy and intelligence have entered the critical phase, and Jiangsu Olive Sensors has also taken the initiative to transform and upgrade to the field of new energy vehicle parts. From an industry perspective, the sensors and thermal management systems it focuses on have important application space in the fields of battery intelligence and battery safety. Against this background, CALB will give full play to its resources and advantages in the new energy industry chain through M&A, empowering the business development of Jiangsu Olive Sensors and further enhancing the corporate value of both parties.Overall, CALB’s strategic deployment will leverage its resources and advantages across the new energy and automotive industry chains. This will enable it to empower high-potential targets with technological expertise, unlock the growth potential of Jiangsu Olive Sensors, and establish a development model where chain-leading enterprises drive innovation in specialized and sophisticated enterprises that produce new and unique products—ultimately accelerating industrial upgrading. Moving forward, the two parties are expected to foster more extensive and in-depth cooperation, creating synergies in industrial chain coordination and market expansion, thereby enhancing comprehensive competitiveness in new energy and smart technologies, enabling mutual growth and stronger market positions for win-win development.

Everest Medicines Announces NMPA Full Approval of NEFECON, Broadening Treatment Access for IgA Nephropathy Patients in China JCN Newswire

Everest Medicines Announces NMPA Full Approval of NEFECON, Broadening Treatment Access for IgA Nephropathy Patients in China

HONG KONG, May 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX: 1952.HK) today announced that the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for NEFECON has received full approval from the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This regulatory milestone significantly broadens the treatment population, allowing NEFECON to be used to reduce the loss of kidney function in adult patients with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of disease progression, regardless of proteinuria levels. The prior limitation requiring elevated proteinuria has now been removed.With this latest approval, NEFECON becomes the first and only etiological treatment for IgAN to receive full approval in China, reaffirming its position as a foundational first-line therapy and marking a major advancement in the standard of care for IgAN patients."The full approval of NEFECON in China marks a significant milestone, providing a foundational first-line treatment for IgAN patients, regardless of proteinuria levels, and addressing critical unmet clinical needs," said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. "As the first and only etiological treatment for IgAN in China to receive full approval from the NMPA, this further reinforces NEFECON's proven clinical efficacy and safety, providing a solid foundation for treatment decision-making. With over 100,000 new cases diagnosed annually in China, there is a substantial unmet medical need. NEFECON's inclusion in the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL), with reimbursement now available in 31 provinces and cities, is key to improving accessibility and affordability for patients."The NMPA's full approval is supported by robust efficacy and safety data from the global Phase 3 NefIgArd clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study evaluating NEFECON (16 mg once daily) compared with placebo in patients on optimized RASi therapy. In the global cohort, NEFECON demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit in preserving estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over a two-year period-comprising 9 months of treatment and 15 months of follow-up off drug. NEFECON also showed durable reductions in urine protein creatinine ratio (UPCR) and a decline in microhematuria, further supporting its clinical utility.In the China subpopulation of the Global Phase 3 NefIgArd Clinical Trial, NEFECON reduced the rate of kidney function decline by 66% and delayed the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years, reinforcing its transformative potential for long-term disease management in Chinese patients.As the first IgAN etiological treatment drug fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), NEFECON has been approved across all Everest Medicines territories, including mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan(China), as well as Singapore and South Korea. It is now commercially available in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Singapore, with anticipated launches in Taiwan(China), and South Korea later this year, benefiting IgAN patients in all authorized regions.The full approval of NEFECON not only broadens its clinical applicability, allowing more IgAN patients to benefit from targeted therapy earlier in their disease progression, but also represents a significant advancement in Everest Medicines leadership in the renal disease sector. This milestone further demonstrates Everest's dedication to accelerating access to innovative treatments that address critical unmet medical needs and provide long-term value for patients, healthcare systems, and society.

雲頂新耀宣佈耐賦康(R)獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局完全批准 全面拓展IgA腎病治療人群

香港, 2025年5月7日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日,雲頂新耀(HKEX: 1952.HK)宣佈,其核心產品耐賦康(R)(布地奈德腸溶膠囊,NEFECON(R))正式獲得中國國家藥品監督管理局(NMPA)完全批准。這一批准標誌著耐賦康(R)適應症範圍的全面拓展,適用於所有具有疾病進展風險的原發性IgA腎病(IgAN)成人患者,並取消了之前對蛋白尿水平的限制,使其成為中國首個且目前唯一獲得NMPA完全批准的IgA腎病治療藥物,夯實了耐賦康(R)治療IgA腎病一線基石地位。此次完全批准的關鍵在於,取消了對尿蛋白肌酐比值的限制,耐賦康(R)的適用範圍得到了進一步擴大,允許所有被評估為「具有疾病進展風險的原發性IgAN成人患者」使用耐賦康(R)。風險評估指標包括但不限於:eGFR年下降≥1 ml/min/1.73m²、24小時尿蛋白≥0.5g/d、高血壓、鏡下血尿及病理改變(MEST-C評分)等綜合臨床因素。這一變化使得更多進展風險尚未表現為高蛋白尿的患者,尤其是早期患者,有望及早接受靶向治療,延緩病程進展。目前,中國約有500萬的IgA腎病患者,每年新增確診患者超過10萬人。此前,IgAN治療領域長期缺乏獲批的對因治療藥物。2023年,耐賦康(R)通過優先審評程序獲NMPA附條件批准上市,填補了國內從疾病源頭治療IgA腎病的空白,該藥用於治療具有進展風險的原發性IgA腎病(IgAN)成人患者(一般來說,這類患者的尿蛋白肌酐比值(UPCR)≥ 1.5 g/g)。耐賦康(R)的完全獲批,是基於3期臨床2年完整優異的腎功能保護數據,並取消了對蛋白尿水平的限制。這將極大擴展耐賦康(R)用藥患者基數,使更廣泛的患者獲益。NefIgArd III期臨床研究的完整數據顯示,耐賦康(R)(16mg,每日一次)與安慰劑相比,在接受RAS抑制劑優化支持治療的原發性IgA腎病成人患者中顯著改善了蛋白尿、鏡下血尿,且能有效延緩腎功能衰退。研究表明,耐賦康(R)能夠減少腎功能衰退達50%,在中國人群中能延緩腎功能衰退達66%,預計將疾病進展至透析或腎移植的時間延緩12.8年。耐賦康(R)已與2024年11月被納入國家醫保藥品目錄,截止今年3月底,全國26個省市的醫療機構已開始按醫保價格執行。這一完全批准將進一步推動耐賦康(R)在醫療機構中的廣泛覆蓋,提高藥物的可及性和可負擔性,幫助更多患者從中受益,釋放更大的市場潛力。作為全球首個獲得美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)和歐洲藥品管理局(EMA)完全批准的IgA腎病治療藥物, 耐賦康(R)已相繼在雲頂新耀所有授權區域(中國澳門、中國大陸、新加坡、中國香港、中國台灣以及韓國)獲得批准,其中,中國澳門、中國大陸、新加坡和中國香港已商業化上市,韓國和中國台灣預計於年內上市。雲頂新耀首席執行官羅永慶表示:「此次完全批准取消了對蛋白尿水平的限制,這將推動耐賦康(R)從改變治療格局走向重塑治療標準,延緩IgA腎病患者腎功能衰退,更好地滿足長期未被滿足的臨床需求,使更多患者獲益。」 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
