  • H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute plans to advance understanding of the unique challenges and support needs of caregivers for people living with chronic GVHD.

WILMINGTON, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Incyte is proud to announce that the University of Maryland School of Medicine and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute have been selected as the recipients of the 2026 Incyte Ingenuity Awards in GVHD™. This annual award program recognizes and supports innovative projects that address the specific needs of individuals impacted by graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), including patients, caregivers and healthcare providers.


“It is our honor to recognize the University of Maryland School of Medicine and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute as recipients of the 2026 Incyte Ingenuity Awards in GVHD,” said Mohamed Issa, Executive Vice President and Head of U.S. Commercial, Incyte. “Their innovative projects address critical needs within the GVHD community, from enabling earlier identification and referral of patients with ocular GVHD to deepening our understanding of the unique challenges faced by caregivers. GVHD can profoundly impact both patients and those who care for them, and these community-driven initiatives have the potential to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.”

The University of Maryland School of Medicine designed its project, Ocular Surface Imaging Guidance and Health Triage (OSIGHT), to improve the early identification of ocular GVHD by developing and evaluating an AI-enabled screening platform for use in transplant clinics. The tool will identify patients at risk and facilitate timely referrals to ophthalmology specialists.

About GVHD

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a condition that can occur after an allogeneic stem cell transplant (the transfer of stem cells from a donor) in which the donated cells initiate an immune response and attack the transplant recipient’s organs, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. There are two major forms of GVHD: acute, which generally occurs within 100 days of transplant, and chronic, which generally occurs after 100 days of transplant. Both forms can affect multiple organ systems, including the skin, gastrointestinal (digestive) tract and liver.1

Amphista Therapeutics to Present AMX-883 Data at American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting

  • AMX-883-mediated BRD9 degradation disrupts hematopoietic transcriptional programs, promotes myeloid differentiation, and depletes leukemic stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
  • Additional abstract on AMX-883 BRAMLIE trial assessing safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficiency to publish in Blood

CAMBRIDGE, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Amphista Therapeutics Limited (‘Amphista’ or ‘the Company’), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of non-cereblon / VHL targeted protein degradation (TPD) medicines, today announced new data on its lead therapeutic candidate, AMX-883, has been accepted for oral presentation at American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, December 12–15, 2026. The full abstract is available online: www.hematology.org/Meetings/Annual-Meeting/Abstracts


The data, to be presented by Dr Louise Modis, CEO, suggest BRD9 plays a critical role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), maintaining activity of a number of hematopoietic transcription factors. Degradation of BRD9 using AMX-883 restricts these transcription factor programs, releasing the differentiation block and reducing the frequency of leukemic stem cells.

Iksuda to Present First Clinical Data for IKS03 in Advanced B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas at ASH

Iksuda to Present First Clinical Data for IKS03 in Advanced B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas at ASH




Iksuda to Present First Clinical Data for IKS03 in Advanced B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas at ASH

Impressive early anti-tumour activity and a therapy-leading safety profile seen in heavily pretreated patients across multiple B-cell lymphoma subtypes

Objective response rate of 53% in 17 efficacy evaluable patients, including responses in patients previously treated with CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy

NEWCASTLE, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Iksuda Therapeutics (Iksuda), the developer of class leading, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), today announces the presentation of preliminary data from the dose escalation portion of its Phase 1 study of IKS03, a CD19-directed ADC, in patients with advanced B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), at the 68th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, December 12–15, 2026, New Orleans, Louisiana.

As of 8 July 2026, 21 patients (median age 67 years) with a median of four prior lines of therapy (range 2-8) have been treated with IKS03 across five dose levels up to 3.1 mg/m2 (approximately 84µg/kg). A maximum tolerated dose (MTD) has not been reached.

IKS03 showed a highly differentiated and manageable safety profile, with treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) affecting only seven of 21 patients. Compared with other treatments across modalities, there was a markedly lower frequency of high-grade neutropenia and thrombocytopenia and an absence of peripheral neuropathy. A single Grade 4 neutropenia (4.8%), a dose-limiting toxicity, was observed in the fourth dose cohort in a patient with follicular lymphoma and bone marrow involvement, and who had previously received six prior regimens including CAR-T. On resolution, the patient remained on therapy and in response. There were only two Grade 3 neutropenia events, and all remaining TRAEs were mild or moderate (Grade 1–2). No patient experienced a Grade 5 event or a treatment-related serious adverse event, and none stopped treatment because of an adverse event. Non-haematological toxicity was both limited and low-grade.

Responses to treatment were observed from the lowest dose level (around 20 µg/kg) and across all dose cohorts. Of 17 patients evaluable for efficacy (those who had completed two treatment cycles across the first four dose levels), nine responded, giving an overall objective response rate (ORR) of 53%, with two patients achieving stable disease. Five patients (29%) achieved a complete metabolic response: two with follicular lymphoma and one each with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma and T cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma. Four patients (24%) achieved a partial metabolic response, two each with follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma.

Responses were seen in patients who were CAR-T naïve, as well as in those who had received prior CAR-T (3 of 4 patients), including a durable complete response in a patient who had received 8 prior regimens which included failed responses to CAR-T and allogeneic transplantation. Of the eight patients who did not respond, five were being treated for Richter-transformed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, well known to be highly aggressive and difficult to treat.

Responses have lasted up to 14 months. Currently, six of the nine responders eligible for efficacy assessment at the time of writing remain on treatment. Dose escalation is ongoing and updated results will be presented at the convention.

Dr. Dave Simpson, Chief Executive Officer, Iksuda Therapeutics, commented: “These first clinical data for IKS03 are incredibly exciting. To see responses in patients treated from the lowest dose level and across all cohorts, in heavily pretreated patients including those who had previously received CD19-directed CAR-T therapy, is immensely rewarding, whilst the safety profile is distinct from all other therapies in use for these cancers. These results support the design strategy of tumour-selective payload release, and we look forward to onward progression of this exciting program.”

Prof. Enrico Derenzini, European Institute of Oncology IRCCS, Milan, added: “Patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma who have already received several lines of treatment have limited options. To see responses at this early stage, alongside a manageable safety profile, is encouraging and supports further evaluation of IKS03.”

The Phase 1 study (NCT05365659) is a first-in-human, multicentre trial of IKS03 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-NHL who have received at least two prior systemic therapies. Part I (dose escalation) uses a 3+3 design to determine the MTD and recommended Phase 2 dose in patients with CD19-positive follicular, marginal zone, mantle cell, large B-cell (including Richter-transformed) or high-grade B-cell lymphoma. Part II will assess efficacy in disease-specific expansion cohorts. Around 140 patients are expected to be enrolled across the study.

Challenges in Pharmaceutical Development

Global research and development (R&D) expenditure for pharmaceuticals continues to rise, increasing at an annual rate of approximately 8.5% over the past decade5. Key drivers of the rise in R&D expenditure include advancement of R&D and the increasing complexity of protocols. In Japan, both labor-intensive and over-engineering practices intended to comply with the Good Clinical Practice(GCP) ordinance have been widely highlighted as major contributing factors. It also results in the fact that the number of clinical trial sites managed per Clinical Research Associate (CRA) in Japan is only one-third of that in the United States6. Consequently, rising development costs lead to serious drug lag and drug loss, which in turn is posing significant challenges to social and economic securities.

In recent years, the updated international guideline for Good Clinical Practice, ICH-E6(R3), outlined the Quality by Design (QbD) approach. The guideline states that the sponsor should avoid unnecessary complexity and not place unnecessary burden on participants and investigators. Implementing an appropriate system to manage quality throughout all stages of the trial process is also required.

Our Solution and Initiatives

SUSMED SDS is a clinical trial management system that utilizes blockchain technology to securely syncronize medical data captured at medical institutions with Case Report Form (CRF) data. This enables a significant reduction in both data entry workload at medical sites and regulatory-mandated monitoring tasks. The verification results in the Regulatory Sandbox system were published in a peer-reviewed international medical journal in June 2020 (Hirano et al., 2020, JMIR). Based on these findings, SUSMED submitted an application under the “System of Inquiry on Regulatory Gray-Zone Areas” pursuant to the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act and, on December 4, 2020, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) issued an official notification7 confirming that substituting monitoring tasks with blockchain technology is compliant with Japan’s GCP ordinance.

Furthermore, a comparative evaluation between conventional clinical trial workflows and the SUSMED SDS workflow, conducted under the Research and Development Promotion Network Project supported by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED), demonstrated that monitoring workload decreased by 45.9%, medical institution workload decreased by 32.0%, and data queries for verification and correction decreased by 46.7%8. These findings indicate that, while substantially reducing overall operational overhead, the use of blockchain technology for clinical trial data management contributes significantly to streamlining processes, improving productivity in alignment with Quality by Design (QbD) principles.

Additionally, GAMP 5 Second Edition, the GxP guidance published by the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) in 2022, highlighted blockchain technology as a key solution for enhancing data integrity, which signals growing global expectations for the expanded use of blockchain across the clinical trial ecosystem.

Achievements and Future Outlook

The regulatory approval of a pharmaceutical product based on a clinical trial utilizing blockchain technology marks the world-first achievement, driving expectations for the broader implementation of this technology to accelerate the establishment of a modern clinical trial ecosystem.

Comment from Taro Ueno, President and CEO of SUSMED, Inc.:

“I, as a clinician, believe that the issue of Drug Loss, where pharmaceuticals used for patient care overseas remain unavailable in Japan, is a critical challenge.

In 2020, through our participation in the Regulatory Sandbox system and System of Inquiry on Regulatory Gray-Zone Areas under the Industrial Competitiveness Enhancement Act, we demonstrated that utilizing blockchain technology enables efficient compliance with the GCP ordinance.

I am deeply moved that marketing approval has now been granted for a pharmaceutical product based on this deregulation, and that is opening the door to delivering new treatment options to patients. I extend my heartiest gratitude to all stakeholders whose dedicated efforts made this milestone possible.

SUSMED remains committed to contributing to the optimal development of new therapies through the advancement of establishment of an innovative clinical trial ecosystem.”

In addition, Hirohiko Nakahara, Secretary-General, Secretariat of Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters, Cabinet Office (former Counsellor, Economic Revitalization Bureau, Cabinet Secretariat), and Kazumi Nishikawa, Deputy Director-General, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (former Director, Healthcare Industries Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry), sent us the following comments:

Comment from Mr. Hirohiko Nakagawa, Secretary-General, Secretariat of Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters, Cabinet Office:

“I would like to offer my sincere congratulations on the marketing approval granted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for a pharmaceutical product validated through blockchain-based clinical trial system. It is profoundly meaningful that this approval was achieved based on the results obtained through the Regulatory Sandbox system. We look forward to seeing innovative technologies and solutions continue to contribute to resolving societal challenges in the future.

Comment from Mr. Kazumi Nishikawa, Deputy Director-General, Minister’s Secretariat, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry:

“I am delighted to see SUSMED’s initiative progressing appropriately as an effort leading the improvement of healthcare quality through the application of technology, as well as a concrete successful example of utilizing the Regulatory Sandbox system. I look forward to their further endeavors toward achieving a ‘Well Aging Society’ in the future.”

This world-first achievement, wherein regulatory marketing approval was granted for a pharmaceutical validated through a clinical trial leveraging blockchain technology following deregulation, represents a major step forward in addressing the challenges such as drug lag and drug loss. We have built a solid track record of reducing both costs and operational workload in clinical development through the utilization of SUSMED SDS, and we look forward to expanding its implementation among a broader range of clinical trials of pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, by contributing to the establishment of a clinical trial ecosystem anchored in QbD principles, we aim to enhance productivity and quality in drug development, ultimately to support the optimization and long-term sustainability of future social security expenditures.

E.SUN Debuts at COP17, Showcasing Taiwan’s Nature Finance in Action

TAIPEI, Taiwan–(BUSINESS WIRE)–E.SUN Financial Holding made its debut at the 17th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP17), bringing Taiwan’s nature finance experience to the global stage. E.SUN Chief Sustainability Officer Louis L.Y. Chang was invited by the World Climate Foundation (WCF) and the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation (FfB) to speak in the Blue Zone on October 26 and 27 about “Bridging the Biodiversity Financing Gap: E.SUN’s Practice and Vision for Nature Capital.”




Held in Yerevan, Armenia, from October 19 to 30 under the theme “Taking Action for Nature,” CBD COP17 reviewed progress on the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and explored ways to accelerate action and mobilize finance for nature. As the only Taiwanese financial institution attending COP17, E.SUN shared how financial institutions can connect finance, businesses, and local communities to advance biodiversity. Based on E.SUN’s keynote, representatives from UNEP FI, the Inter-American Development Bank, Danske Bank Asset Management and Storebrand Asset Management further elaborated the discussion on strengthening stakeholder collaboration, supporting business transition, and scaling biodiversity finance.

E.SUN’s biodiversity efforts span conservation, education, and culture. Since 2014, E.SUN’s Malavi Project has supported Indigenous farmers in adopting organic farming practices, with more than 19 hectares of farmland now organically certified. In 2026, the project became one of Taiwan’s first certified Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs), demonstrating how agricultural production and conservation can mutually reinforce one another.

In 2022, E.SUN partnered with National Taiwan University to launch the ESG Centenary Project, which aims to plant 100,000 native Taiwanese conifers over ten years. The partnership also revived 28 indigenous millet varieties in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, contributing to both native plant conservation and Indigenous cultural preservation.

E.SUN also uses finance to translate biodiversity ambitions into business action. Its “Farm to Table Sustainable Food and Agriculture Value Chain Financing” initiative connects agriculture, food processing, logistics, hospitality and other industries to support sustainable food systems. E.SUN has also established biodiversity and OECM-linked loans with Yulon Motor and CPC Corporation, Taiwan, incorporating species restoration and habitat conservation into financing arrangements.

Through a Public-Private-Philanthropic Partnership (PPPP), E.SUN has further brought together Okuma Fishing Tackle, the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society, the Kaohsiung City Government Tourism Bureau, and Taiwan Water Corporation to remove invasive species and restore habitats at Niaosong Wetland through Nature-based Solutions.

“Without nature and biodiversity, climate action cannot succeed,” said Chang. “Finance can serve as a bridge between conservation and development, between local action and global impact, and between today’s investment and a nature-positive future.”

E.SUN will continue to harness the positive impact of finance and cross-sector collaboration to mobilize capital, expertise, and talent for nature-positive action, while bringing Taiwan’s experience in connecting finance, business, communities, and conservation to the global stage. ***

Evommune Enters into Agreement to In-License EVO570, a Potential Best-in-Class Oral VAV1 Molecular Glue Degrader, from Hinova Pharmaceuticals

Evommune Enters into Agreement to In-License EVO570, a Potential Best-in-Class Oral VAV1 Molecular Glue Degrader, from Hinova Pharmaceuticals




Evommune Enters into Agreement to In-License EVO570, a Potential Best-in-Class Oral VAV1 Molecular Glue Degrader, from Hinova Pharmaceuticals

– Oral, highly selective and potent VAV1 molecular glue degrader designed to deliver a differentiated clinical profile across a broad range of indications in autoimmune disease

– Phase 1 expected to begin imminently; Evommune plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in rheumatoid arthritis in 2027

– Evommune to pay $20MM upfront in cash and $10MM in the form of pre-funded warrants and up to approximately $1.1B in development, regulatory and commercial milestones, plus tiered royalties

PALO ALTO, Calif. & NEW YORK & CHENGDU, China–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Evommune, Inc. (NYSE: EVMN) (the “Company” or “Evommune”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapies for chronic inflammatory diseases, and Hinova Pharmaceuticals Inc. (SSE: 688302) today announced an exclusive license agreement granting Evommune worldwide rights outside of Greater China to develop, manufacture and commercialize EVO570 (formerly HC118 and known as HP570 in Greater China), an oral VAV1-directed molecular glue degrader (MGD).


VAV1 is a signaling protein that prominently drives T- and B-cell activation across a wide range of chronic inflammatory diseases. EVO570, discovered by Hinova, is an investigational oral MGD designed to selectively eliminate VAV1, quieting the immune activity underlying many autoimmune diseases. Unlike JAK enzymes, which are broadly expressed across many tissues and organs, VAV1 is largely restricted to immune cells, a core rationale for its potential to offer a much-needed, favorable safety and tolerability profile. In preclinical studies, EVO570 has demonstrated promising activity in animal models of multiple immune-mediated conditions and greater potency in human immune cells than competitor VAV1 degraders. Investigational New Drug (IND) applications have been submitted in China and accepted in the United States, and a Phase 1 trial evaluating safety, pharmacokinetics and target engagement/pharmacodynamics is on track to begin imminently.

“VAV1 is a compelling target in immunology today, offering a potential path to JAK-like efficacy without the safety and tolerability challenges of other available therapies,” said Dr. Jeegar Patel, Chief Scientific Officer of Evommune. “With a differentiated scaffold and structure-guided optimization resulting in sub-nanomolar potency, high selectivity and a profile supporting once-daily oral dosing, EVO570 has the potential to be a best-in-class approach for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other T- and B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases. We look forward to reporting Phase 1 results and plan to advance it into its first Phase 2 trial in rheumatoid arthritis in 2027.”

“Adding this development-stage program is a strategic step for Evommune, expanding our pipeline into T- and B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases with a differentiated oral degrader that complements our existing pipeline,” said Greg Moss, Chief Business and Legal Officer of Evommune. “We have been impressed by Hinova’s innovative drug discovery and execution capabilities, and we are pleased to partner with a team that shares our commitment to developing differentiated therapies for patients. With this transaction, we are adding a novel therapeutic candidate with wide-ranging potential, while maintaining a disciplined portfolio management approach, and continuing to position Evommune to create meaningful long-term value for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases and for our stockholders.”

“We are proud to partner with Evommune, a leading immunology company with a proven track record of advancing differentiated therapies for chronic inflammatory diseases,” said Dr. Yuanwei Chen, Founder and Chairman of Hinova. “EVO570’s advancement reflects the strength of Hinova’s targeted protein degrader and translational medicine platforms, and we believe Evommune’s development expertise and global reach make it the ideal collaborator to bring this potential best-in-class VAV1 degrader to patients worldwide.”

Terms of the agreement

As consideration for the license, Evommune will pay Hinova $30 million upfront, consisting of $20 million in cash and $10 million in the form of pre-funded warrants to purchase Evommune common stock. Hinova is eligible to receive up to approximately $1.1 billion in development, regulatory and commercial milestones, as well as tiered royalties on net sales outside Greater China. BFC Group served as exclusive financial advisor and Fangda Partners served as exclusive legal advisor to Hinova.

About VAV1 and EVO570

VAV1 is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor largely restricted to immune cells that transmits signals from the T-cell and B-cell receptors to drive activation, cytokine production and migration. EVO570 is an orally administered MGD that directs VAV1 to the cell’s protein-disposal machinery for degradation. EVO570 is an investigational drug candidate and has not yet been approved by any regulatory authority.
