云顶新耀股价创3年新高 AI+mRNA赋能管线重塑估值

香港, 2025年3月7日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 今日,云顶新耀(1952.HK)股价强势上涨,高开后持续走强,全天维持上升趋势,截至收盘上涨20.12%,报60.6港元,公司总市值攀升至197.91亿港元。创下自2021年9月28日以来的近三年半新高,并成功突破2020年IPO发行价55港元。据最新消息,云顶新耀于昨日宣布其自主研发的mRNA个性化肿瘤治疗性疫苗(PCV)EVM16在中国完成首例患者给药,该疫苗正在开展研究者发起的临床试验(IIT)。在这一进展公布后,云顶新耀随后召开中英文投资者交流会,详细介绍AI赋能mRNA平台的技术突破及研发管线最新动态,重点展示公司在新抗原预测、疫苗开发及未来商业化方面的最新进展。近年来,全球对mRNA技术在癌症治疗中的应用给予高度关注,多国政府相继出台政策支持该领域发展。以BioNTech、Moderna为代表的企业已在个性化肿瘤疫苗领域取得突破,预计未来1-2年将迎来多个重要里程碑,尤其是在黑色素瘤、胰腺癌等高难度癌症治疗中的应用,进一步验证了mRNA癌症疫苗的潜力。云顶新耀已建立本地化、经临床验证的mRNA平台,涵盖从抗原设计、mRNA序列优化、LNP递送技术到GMP生产的全产业链能力,并拥有全部全球权益。基于该平台,公司布局了个性化肿瘤治疗性疫苗(PCV)、肿瘤相关抗原疫苗(TAA)、免疫调节肿瘤疫苗和自体生成CAR-T四大研发方向,整体布局完备,具备显著的差异化竞争力。EVM16作为云顶新耀个性化肿瘤治疗性疫苗(PCV)的代表性项目,已在北京大学肿瘤医院完成首例患者给药。其核心优势在于云顶新耀基于深度学习的自研新抗原预测算法-"妙算"系统(EVER-NEO-1)来筛选新抗原,可精准筛选高免疫原性肽段,优化mRNA疫苗抗原设计,提升免疫应答效果。独立验证显示,EVER-NEO-1的新抗原预测能力达到或超越行业领先水平,并在头对头研究中优于MSKCC算法,可识别更多具备强免疫原性的肿瘤新抗原。临床前研究表明,该算法预测的新抗原可有效激发T细胞免疫,并在小鼠肿瘤模型中展现更优疗效。此外,EVM16与PD-1抗体联合使用可增强T细胞活化,产生协同抗肿瘤作用,为未来联合免疫疗法提供了有力依据。在猴子非人灵长类实验中,EVM16展现剂量依赖性免疫原性,加强针可进一步增强免疫应答并维持长期免疫保护,同时在临床前毒理研究中展现良好安全性。除EVM16外,云顶新耀正在推进现货型TAA癌症疫苗EVM14的临床开发,并计划于2025年在中美两地递交新药临床试验申请。EVM14的一大突破在于可诱导免疫记忆,防止肿瘤复发。在动物实验中,13/15只小鼠在EVM14治疗后肿瘤完全消退,即使再次接种肿瘤细胞,仍未出现复发,验证了其长期保护作用。同时,EVM14在联合PD-1抗体使用时展现出更强的抗肿瘤活性,进一步支持其在临床应用中的潜力。云顶新耀的mRNA平台还覆盖免疫调节肿瘤疫苗和自体生成CAR-T。其中,自体生成CAR-T疗法基于mRNA/tLNP平台,可在体内直接生成CAR-T细胞,突破传统CAR-T的局限性。相较于传统CAR-T疗法,mRNA体内CAR-T具有更低的生产成本、更高的安全性、无需清除淋巴、不依赖住院治疗等优势。此外,该技术还在系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)等自身免疫疾病中展现潜力,为CAR-T疗法拓展至非肿瘤适应症提供了全新可能。云顶新耀CEO罗永庆在今日投资者交流会上表示:"云顶新耀已成功从依赖授权引进(license-in)的模式,转型为自主研发与授权引进并行的双轮驱动模式,建立了具有自主知识产权的mRNA平台。这一里程碑不仅强化了公司的自研创新能力,也将成为未来增长的重要引擎。与此同时,我们正加速推进核心产品的商业化进程,并坚定执行2030年前核心产品销售突破100亿元人民币的目标。随着mRNA平台和自体生成CAR-T疗法的持续突破,云顶新耀的长期价值将进一步释放,助力公司迈向全球生物医药创新的前沿。"从资本市场的角度来看,云顶新耀的mRNA平台整合了AI驱动的抗原筛选、mRNA序列优化及产业化能力,具备较强的全球竞争力和商业化潜力。云顶新耀是国内首个将由AI驱动的mRNA肿瘤治疗性疫苗进入临床阶段的生物制药公司。交银国际在研报中重点推荐云顶新耀,认为其创新管线催化剂丰富,盈利增长潜力明确,具备较大的估值修复弹性。随着EVM16的临床推进、EVM14的全球化申报进展以及体内CAR-T疗法的持续突破,云顶新耀的AI+mRNA布局不仅强化了其行业领先地位,也有望成为国际BD合作的重要筹码,在全球创新药竞争格局中占据更有利的位置。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

The event also features 18 national, regional and industry pavilions, including the UK Pavilion led by British Jewellery & Giftware International with sophisticated jewellery pieces from eight British designers.Two major jewellery design competitions discover and nurture new talentsThe HKTDC has always put great emphasis on discovering and nurturing emerging talents to further elevate the standard of jewellery design. This year, it has once again joined hands with The Jewellers’ & Goldsmiths’ Association of Hong Kong Limited, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association and the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong, China Ltd to organise the 7th International Jewellery Design Excellence (IJDE) Award and the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition (HKJDC) to identify new talents. The award ceremonies for the two competitions were held this morning and the winning entries will be on display at the Hall 1D and 1E Concourse throughout the International Jewellery Show. Held for the first time since the pandemic, the 2025 IJDE Award received an enthusiastic response with 80 award-winning entries from nine countries and regions competing for the highest honour – the “Champion of the Champions”. The entries were assessed by an esteemed panel of judges with Lawrence Ma, Chairman of the HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show Fair Organising Committee, serving as chief judge and other members including representatives from L’ECOLE, School of Jewelry and the De Beers Group, among others.

The competition was divided into an Open Group and Student Group and received a total of 86 entries. The judging panel, made up of six professionals from diverse fields such as jewellery and design, selected the winning entries after careful consideration. (See Table 2 for the list of selected winning entries from the 26th HKJDC.)Series of events enhance industry networkingA jewellery networking reception is being held tonight to boost connections among participants, welcoming jewellery industry representatives and both local and international buyers.

It showcases the beauty and versatility of natural coloured diamonds in both polished and rough formsInnovative and Uniqueness in Design AwardTitle of winning design: Summer Night CelebrationDesigner: Ying Chen CHEN (Taiwan)Category: EarringsDescription*:The inspiration for this piece comes from the mystical Barringtonia flower – a night fairy of the summer. Her life lasts only for a single nightAs dusk falls, she blooms in quiet elegance, only to gently descend with the first light of dawn. Though her existence is fleeting, she shines like fireworks and is breathtakingly beautifulIn this design, I sought to capture the moment when the stamens burst forth from the bud, with countless filaments unfurling like delicate tendrils, radiating boundless energy, vitality and freedom. This imagery deeply moved me, reminding me that “Life, like a flower, is fleeting – not measured by its length, but by whether it has burned brightly”As a jewellery designer, I often ask myself: what can I leave behind in this world' Perhaps, through my creations, I can transform those fleeting moments of emotion into eternal beautyCraftsmanship AwardTitle of winning design: Born of BlueDesigner: CHAN Hoi Yi (Hong Kong)Category: Pendant/BroochDescription*:Inspired by a proverb from my favorite philosopher Xunzi: "Born of blue, but better than blue"Blue dye was distilled from the indigo plant, but the dye was bluer than the plant itself. The knowledge taught by teacher made the students surpass the teacher himselfThis inspired my design like a visual metaphor: the Chinese-Cloud symbolises knowledge (an everchanging form/law of nature)ï¼›Chinese-Knots symbolise teacher/students (from a simple to a complex shape, to the deepening of blue colours. The progress symbolises self-improvement)I admire the vague elegance in this proverb. It's humble, pure, not flashy, with a scent of scholarly temperament, with goodwill and charm. It may sound a bit naive and idealistic today, but that’s what I want to express in this jewelleryAesthetics AwardTitle of winning design: ContemplationDesigner: Mariia EFIMOVA (Russia)Category: RingDescription*:In a world where everything happens too fast, beauty is commonplace, and we are often seduced only by the outside. But the underside sometimes says much more. "Contemplation" is an invitation to stop and a reminder that true beauty lies within us Table 2: Selected winning entries from the 26th Hong Kong Jewellery Design CompetitionOpen Group – Best of Show Award and Craftsmanship & Technology AwardTitle of design: Romance & ClassicsDesigner: Tse Ka-wingCategory: RingDescription*:Jewellery and renowned artworks share an inseparable relationship and common origins.

Each flap of the butterfly’s wings is a hymn to lifeOpen Group – Best of Show AwardTitle of design: WHIMSYDesigner: Chow Tin-yiCategory: Pendant/BroochDescription*:The hourglass cradles the gentle dreams of childhood, each glowing grain of sand falls softly to capture the delicate passage of time and its precious moments. A pendant, delicate and detachable, imbues the piece with elegance and personality, speaking of eternity and the sparkle of dreamsStudent Group – ChampionTitle of design: Blossom in PorcelainDesigner: Liu KanglanSchool: The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityCategory: RingDescription*:The blue and white porcelain is a manifestation not only of beauty, but also the passing of time and the continuity of Chinese culture. Incorporating a blue and white contrast and complex patterns into the design reflects the enduring appeal of traditional Chinese porcelain – a quality that shines stillStudent Group – 1st Runner-upTitle of design: Divine WhispersDesigner: Mak Wing-muiSchool: Saint Francis UniversityCategory: EarringsDescription*:The earrings draw inspiration from the sanctity of cathedrals, featuring geometric lines that outline the elegant silhouette of spires and domes.

This event brought together various stakeholders to test and validate advanced aerospace technologies in realistic operational scenarios.The government-provided autonomy software - known as a reference autonomy stack - was integrated into the GA-ASI Avenger and demonstrated autonomous flight operation capabilities focused on conducting air-to-air engagements. The government-provided PVI enabled seamless control and monitoring of the autonomy stack, highlighting the interoperability and flexibility of GA-ASI's UCAV ecosystem. The Shield AI stack demonstrated autonomy skills for safe administrative phases of flight.What the flights proved was that GA-ASI aircraft can quickly go from company-written software, to government-provided, to other vendors' software as needed. This reinforces that the new generations of GA-ASI's UCAVs can seamlessly get upgrades as fast as developers finish them. Just as a mobile phone can get new and better features with each update, so too can new UCAVs get more capable and more versatile."This demonstration marks a significant achievement in our ongoing efforts to operationalize autonomy for UCAVs," said GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs Michael Atwood. "Flying the government reference autonomy stack at Orange Flag 25-1 and utilizing the government-provided PVI underscores our commitment to delivering robust and adaptable autonomy solutions for the warfighter. We especially appreciate and salute the support we received from the 309th Software Engineering Group."The successful flight at Orange Flag 25-1 further validates GA-ASI's dedication to maturing its open standards-based autonomy software ecosystem. By adhering to government-owned and maintained standards, GA-ASI ensures rapid integration of best-of-breed capabilities from third-party providers, enhancing the overall operational effectiveness of UCAV platforms.GA-ASI continues to demonstrate its commitment to advancing autonomy for UCAVs through a series of flight tests and collaborations with government and industry partners.
