Changchun High & New Technology Industries (Group) Inc. (SHE: 000661) announced that its subsidiary GenSci (GeneScience Pharmaceutical) received clinical trial approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for GenSci142 Capsule, a Category 1 biological product for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV), leveraging an AI‑optimized molecular structure that selectively kills pathogens while preserving protective lactobacilli.
Regulatory Milestone
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Product | GenSci142 Capsule |
| Company | GenSci (GeneScience Pharmaceutical), subsidiary of Changchun High‑Tech (000661.SZ) |
| Agency | NMPA (China) |
| Approval Type | Clinical trial approval (Category 1 biological product) |
| Indication | Bacterial vaginosis (BV) |
| Innovation | AI‑optimized antimicrobial; preserves lactobacilli; penetrates biofilms |
| Next Step | Initiate Phase I/II study Q2 2026 |
Drug Profile
- Mechanism: Directly disrupts bacterial cell wall, selectively and rapidly killing primary BV pathogens while fully preserving protective lactobacilli
- Biofilm Penetration: Can penetrate and dismantle biofilms, eliminating pathogen reservoirs and reducing recurrence risk
- Clinical Response: Potential to significantly alleviate symptoms within 12 hours
- Resistance Profile: Remains effective against metronidazole‑resistant infections (90% resistance rate)
- Administration: Local vaginal delivery, no systemic exposure, safe for use
- AI Optimization: Utilizes bioinformatics screening and AI‑driven molecular structure optimization
Market Context & Outlook
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| China BV Patients | ~30 million women annually (2024) |
| Current Standard | Metronidazole/clindamycin (80% share); 30‑50% recurrence rate |
| Metronidazole Resistance | 90% in some regions |
| BV Treatment Market Size (China) | ¥4.2 billion (US$580 million) |
| Growth CAGR | 9% (2024‑2030) |
| Peak Sales Forecast (GenSci142) | ¥2.0‑2.8 billion (~US$270‑380 million) by 2032 |
| Market Share Target | 15‑20% of metronidazole‑resistant or recurrent BV segment |
- Competitive Landscape: No approved non‑antibiotic BV therapies in China; GenSci142’s lactobacillus‑sparing and biofilm‑penetrating mechanism offers first‑in‑class differentiation
- Reimbursement Path: NMPA Category 1 status qualifies for Priority Review; potential NRDL inclusion based on superior efficacy vs. standard of care
- Strategic Value: Expands Changchun High‑Tech’s biologics portfolio beyond growth hormone; validates AI‑driven drug discovery platform
