香港, 2026年1月21日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 1月20日，默沙东与莫德纳联合披露的mRNA肿瘤疫苗mRNA-4157（intismeran autogene）联合K药的二期临床五年随访数据，为全球肿瘤免疫治疗领域注入“强心剂”。受消息影响，莫德纳当天股价上涨2.8%，随着mRNA产品临床推进，其股价重拾升势，最新价已逼近近一年高点。这项代号为KEYNOTE-942/mRNA-4157-P201的研究显示，在完全切除后的高危III/IV期黑色素瘤患者中，mRNA-4157联合PD-1抑制剂帕博利珠单抗（Keytruda）的联合疗法，较Keytruda单药治疗将复发或死亡风险显著降低49%。该数据不仅体现疗效显著，更凸显其持久性。此前，该研究在随访两年时数据显示将复发或死亡风险降低44%，三年时为49%，至第五年随访节点风险降低比例仍维持在49%的高位，有力地支持了mRNA肿瘤疫苗机制可提供诱导持久免疫应答的科学假设。尽管PD-1抑制剂已成为多种肿瘤治疗的重要基石，但复发风险依然困扰着相当比例的患者。在此背景下，“个体化疫苗+免疫检查点抑制剂”的组合方案被视为突破现有治疗瓶颈的癌症治疗重要方向。作为全球首个获FDA突破性疗法认证的mRNA肿瘤疫苗，mRNA-4157的核心在于个体化新抗原疗法（INT）的创新机制：通过测序分析患者肿瘤DNA序列的独特突变特征，设计编码多达34种新抗原的合成mRNA。当疫苗进入体内后，通过内源性表达和抗原呈递机制，训练患者免疫系统激活针对肿瘤特异性突变的T细胞反应，从而精准识别并攻击与清除癌细胞。莫德纳方面表示，这项二期临床结果进一步验证了mRNA技术在肿瘤治疗领域中的潜力，公司未来将持续加大对肿瘤领域平台的投入。目前，mRNA-4157的三期临床试验已经完全入组，试验规模远超二期，且适应症范围从III/IV期黑色素瘤扩展至IIb期黑色素瘤患者。此外，两家公司还在探索该联合疗法在非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）、肾细胞癌、膀胱癌等多种实体瘤中的应用，目前共有八项处于不同阶段的临床试验正在进行中，旨在验证mRNA技术在广泛癌症治疗中的潜力。在国际赛道加速突破的同时，国内药企也在加速布局这一黄金赛道，其中云顶新耀的个性化肿瘤疫苗EVM16进度领先，成为国内该赛道的关键参与者。值得关注的是，EVM16已于2025年3月在北京大学肿瘤医院完成首例患者给药，标志着其自主研发的mRNA技术平台与AI新抗原筛选系统成功进入人体验证阶段。根据云顶新耀2025年12月发布的2030年发展战略，EVM16正在研究者发起的临床试验（IIT）中进行评估，且已完成剂量爬坡。公司预计将在未来6-12个月内读出完整Ia期临床数据，并随后启动Ib期研究。EVM16的研发深度融合了人工智能（AI）与mRNA技术。其核心在于利用公司自研的深度学习算法系统“妙算”（EVER-NEO-1）来预测和筛选肿瘤特异性新抗原，从而设计出高度个性化的疫苗。临床前研究表明，该算法在肿瘤新抗原预测方面展现出显著竞争优势。在多种小鼠肿瘤模型中，EVM16激发出了强烈的新抗原特异性T细胞免疫反应，并实现了显著的肿瘤生长抑制效果。更重要的是，临床前数据还证明了EVM16与PD-1抗体联用后具有协同抗肿瘤效果，为其后续与免疫检查点抑制剂的联合临床开发提供了坚实依据。目前，云顶新耀已构建涵盖抗原设计、mRNA序列优化、LNP递送及产业化生产的端对端全产业链平台，为EVM16等mRNA疫苗的临床推进与未来商业化奠定基础。从投资与市场视角来看，个体化肿瘤疫苗目前仍处于早期突破阶段。据Grand View Research预计，全球个性化癌症疫苗市场规模预计到2030年将达到14.5亿美元，2025年至2030年的年均复合增长率高达44.86%。海外先行产品mRNA-4157的积极数据不仅验证了技术与疗效，也为国内企业提供了商业化路径参考。麦高证券研报指出，mRNA肿瘤疫苗有潜力成为泛癌种、高可及性、现货化与个性化兼具的新型肿瘤免疫疗法。其可凭借广泛的联用，以辅助疗法切入临床，逐步释放数百亿美元市场潜力。在这一背景下，云顶新耀凭借自主AI+mRNA平台及国内率先布局的临床进展，正处于产业化与估值成长的关键节点。随着EVM16临床数据的持续读出，其临床和商业潜力有望进一步释放，成为吸引市场和投资者关注的核心催化事件。当前，全球mRNA肿瘤疫苗研发进入成果兑现期，国内企业在该领域的布局正加速落地。未来，随着云顶新耀EVM16等mRNA肿瘤疫苗产品临床数据的不断读出，国内个体化肿瘤疫苗的竞赛格局将进入新的阶段。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, January 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In 2026, the artificial intelligence (AI) industry reached another critical turning point. Demis Hassabis, Nobel Prize winner and CEO of Google DeepMind, made a pivotal assertion: the true trillion-dollar opportunity in AI lies not in computing chips, but in “Physical AI”—systems capable of perceiving, understanding, and transforming the real world. Having earned a Nobel Prize for his breakthrough work on AlphaFold, which validated AI’s scientific value, Hassabis’ latest outlook has attracted widespread attention in capital markets. It has also brought 51WORLD (6651.HK), a Hong Kong-listed company focused on Physical AI, into the spotlight.Hassabis pointed out that current AI faces a bottleneck of "intelligence fragmentation": while excelling at digital tasks such as text generation, it struggles to grasp basic physical laws like gravity and spatial continuity. The missing "world model" stands as the final barrier to achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). More critically, the poor adaptability of existing data formats leads to computing power waste and low energy efficiency, making energy supply a potential core variable in future AI competition. Physical AI, by constructing a digital environment that closely mirrors reality, holds the key to resolving this series of challenges.As China's first listed company specializing in Physical AI, 51WORLD's strategic layout aligns perfectly with this trend. Deeply rooted in the fields of digital twin and simulation, the company has independently developed the AES Digital Twin Base and 51Sim Simulation Platform, establishing the core infrastructure for Physical AI.

SAN DIEGO, Jan 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In its latest demonstration of advanced autonomy development, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) successfully executed a mission autonomy flight using its MQ-20 Avenger® jet equipped with the latest government reference autonomy software. The test included a live engagement between the MQ-20 and an aggressor aircraft flown by an onboard human pilot, highlighting the advanced maturity of autonomous systems, seamless integration of mission elements, and the ability of autonomy to leverage onboard sensors to make independent decisions and execute complex tasks.GA-ASI's Avenger jet has served as a surrogate for Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for more than five years, both before and since the arrival of GA-ASI's purpose-built XQ-67A and YFQ-42A aircraft. The recent Avenger demo began with planning in the Human-Machine Interface (HMI), followed by loading the mission profile onto the MQ-20. Once airborne, the team confirmed positive transfer between mission autonomy and flight autonomy systems, demonstrating the systems' ability to dynamically adapt to mission requirements. The MQ-20 showcased adherence to operator-assigned Keep-Out Zones (KOZ) and Keep-In Zones (KIZ), which it avoided during all mission phases. In other words, the aircraft flew exactly where it was supposed to and stayed away from areas where it was not.One of the highlights of the demonstration was the MQ-20's use of a live Infrared Search and Track (IRST) sensor from Anduril to passively range a live target aircraft in flight. Using this sensor data, the autonomy system independently established a track, calculated an intercept solution, and simulated the firing of a weapon at a live target - showcasing the ability of autonomy to close on a target using onboard sensors and its own logic, without human intervention. The simulated shot, if real, would have destroyed the target.Additional mission elements included the MQ-20 flying a pre-designated route to a standard instrument hold - in which the aircraft pauses and orbits, as real human pilots frequently do on real missions, before continuing to another waypoint or objective - and executing routes commanded via Heading, Speed, and Altitude (HSA), all while successfully avoiding the designated keep-out zones.This demonstration reinforces GA-ASI's commitment to advancing Human-Machine Teaming and highlights the growing sophistication of autonomous systems in using sensor data and onboard decision-making to execute complex mission profiles for the warfighter. It also highlights GA-ASI's ongoing commitment to investment and experimentation of new capabilities for America's warfighters.In 2023, GA-ASI announced a partnership with Divergent Technologies, Inc., to support additive manufacturing development efforts and implement a full digital manufacturing process for GA-ASI's products. In 2024, GA-ASI collaborated with U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command to integrate and launch the Altius 600 loitering munition, also built by Anduril, and teamed with Dillion Aero to integrate that company's DAP-6 gun pods for a live-fire demonstration with GA-ASI's revolutionary new Mojave STOL aircraft. In 2025, GA-ASI partnered with Shield AI for two flight demonstrations on the Avenger using the company's Hivemind mission autonomy software.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

TSUKUBA, Japan, Jan 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Materials research generates vast amounts of data, but the information often exists in manufacturer-specific formats and the terminology is inconsistent, making it difficult to aggregate, compare, and reuse. Traditionally, researchers have had to spend considerable time on tedious tasks, such as format conversion, metadata assignment, and characteristics extraction. These extra steps can make researchers reluctant to share data, hindering the advancement of data-driven work. The problem is made even more acute by the field’s increasing reliance on AI-driven materials discovery, which requires high-quality datasets.A highly flexible data system automatically interprets a variety of experimental data, and stores it in a format with enhanced readability for materials informatics.To address this problem, researchers at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) have developed Research Data Express (RDE), a highly flexible data management system for materials scientists. Published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, RDE automatically interprets experimental data from raw files and manually inputted measurements. It then restructures and stores this information in a format with enhanced readability.“RDE significantly reduces the burden of routine data processing for researchers and enhances data findability, interoperability, reusability (the FAIR principles), and traceability,” explains Jun Fujima, corresponding author and researcher at NIMS’s Materials Data Platform. “We hope this will promote collaborative, data-driven materials research.” Many systems of a similar purpose usually “define” the data format. In contrast, the RDE’s core innovation “Dataset Template” defines and directs how data from different types of experiments should be processed. For example, if a researcher uploads spreadsheets of X-ray measurements from different sources, the Dataset Template can be configured to interpret them. The system then automatically performs advanced analyses and creates visualizations to provide an immediate overview. Multiple templates can be prepared for different materials research themes, allowing for maximum flexibility in data management. A custom template can also be easily prepared by individual researchers if necessary. Many templates have already been prepared and shared among users.“RDE’s unique approach allows researchers to freely define data structures tailored to their instruments, while enabling the system to perform massive data structuring and metadata extraction automatically,” says Fujima.Since its launch in January 2023, RDE has been widely adopted across Japan’s materials research community, demonstrating its scalability. To date, it has over 5,000 users, with more than 1,900 Dataset Templates for various experimental methods implemented, over 16,000 datasets created, and more than three million data files accumulated. The system serves as a data infrastructure for major national initiatives, including the Materials Research DX Platform initiative promoted by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The NIMS team has released an open-source software toolkit (RDEToolKit) to encourage use of the system within the research community.Further informationJun FujimaNational Institute for Materials Science FUJIMA.Jun@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2025.2597702 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-M Dr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
