INSILICO (03696) announced that ISM4808, an innovative drug for chronic kidney disease (CKD) anemia previously out-licensed to TaiGen (Stock Code: 4157.TWO), has achieved the first contractual milestone. Recently, TaiGen successfully completed the enrollment and dosing of the first participant in the Phase I clinical trial for this AI-driven PHD inhibitor. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, including single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) phases, designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of ISM4808 in healthy adults. INSILICO entered into a pipeline authorization agreement with TaiGen for the ISM4808 project in December 2025. Under the agreement, TaiGen obtained exclusive rights to develop, commercialize, and sublicense ISM4808 in Greater China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. INSILICO will receive an upfront payment, development and sales milestone payments, and tiered royalties based on net sales, with the total transaction value reaching tens of millions of US dollars.
