HONG KONG SAR - EQS Newswire – 12 September 2025 - Uni-Bio
Science Group ("the Group") is pleased to announce the signing of a
strategic cooperation agreement with Kexing Biopharm (Stock Code:
688136.SH), a leading biopharmaceutical company with extensive expertise
in global commercialization. Under this landmark agreement, Beijing
Genetech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("Beijing Genetech"), a subsidiary of
the Group, has granted Kexing Biopharm exclusive rights to commercialize
Bogutai
® (Teriparatide Injection) in six international
markets, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Colombia, Argentina,
and Mexico ("Cooperation Regions"). Bogutai
® is expected to
complete registration and generate revenue in the Cooperation Regions as
early as the end of 2026. The signing ceremony, held in Zhangqiu
District, Jinan City, marks a pivotal step in the Group's international
expansion and its commitment to advancing osteoporosis care worldwide.
Pioneering Osteoporosis Treatment with Proven Results
Bogutai
® is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog
(PTH1–34), an anabolic treatment for osteoporosis that has been widely
recognized for its efficacy and safety. Recommended by numerous domestic
and international clinical guidelines, Teriparatide is particularly
effective in improving bone microarchitecture and reducing fracture risk
in postmenopausal women at high risk of fractures.
Since its launch in China in March 2024, Bogutai
® has
demonstrated rapid market adoption, achieving a remarkable revenue
growth of 248.9% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, reaching
approximately HK$65.6 million. This impressive performance underscores
the strong demand for innovative osteoporosis therapies and highlights
the untapped potential of Bogutai® in global markets.
Addressing the Global Osteoporosis Epidemic
Osteoporosis, often referred to as a "silent killer," affects over 200
million people globally, with the aging population exacerbating its
prevalence. Early-stage osteoporosis is typically asymptomatic, leading
to delayed diagnoses and severe complications such as fractures. In
China, for example, only 6.5% of individuals receive osteoporosis
treatment within six months of a fracture. Similarly, emerging markets
across the Middle East and North Africa face low diagnosis and treatment
rates despite growing awareness and significant patient populations.
Injectable therapies like Teriparatide have been recommended by the
Guidelines for Rational Drug Use of Osteoporosis in Primary Care (2021)
for patients unable to tolerate oral medications, those with poor
adherence, or individuals at high risk of fractures, including elderly
patients with multiple vertebral or hip fractures. With its targeted
mechanism of action as a bone-forming agent, Bogutai
® is
uniquely positioned to address this unmet medical need in both
established and emerging markets. It is estimated that the osteoporosis
market in the Cooperation Regions is nearly USD 1.5 billion, with a
patient population exceeding 10 million.
A Collaboration Built on Complementary Strengths
Commenting on the partnership, Mr. Kingsley Leung, Chairman of Uni-Bio Science Group, said:
"Teriparatide Injection is a transformative therapy with immense
potential in overseas markets. By partnering with Kexing Biopharm, a
company with a robust international commercialization network and proven
operational expertise, we are confident in our ability to bring Bogutai®
to patients in need across key regions. This collaboration represents a
critical step in our mission to improve global bone health."
Mr. Zhao Yanqing, General Manager of Kexing Biopharm, added:
"We are excited to join forces with Uni-Bio Science Group to unlock the regional potential of Bogutai®.
With our established capabilities in regulatory approvals and market
promotion, we aim to accelerate product registration and
commercialization, ensuring that this innovative therapy reaches
patients quickly and effectively."
Enhancing Global Competitiveness in Osteoporosis Care
With over 20 years of international commercialization experience, Kexing
Biopharm has built a strong marketing network spanning the European
Union and emerging markets. The addition of Bogutai
® to its
portfolio complements its existing success with previously introduced
denosumab injection, creating a comprehensive suite of osteoporosis
treatments that combines "anti-resorptive" and "bone-forming" therapies.
This synergy enhances the competitiveness of both companies in
addressing the growing global demand for osteoporosis care.
For Uni-Bio Science Group, this partnership is a key milestone in its internationalization strategy. Bogutai
®
is expected to generate revenue in the Cooperation Regions as early as
the end of 2026, and with its competitive pricing, it may achieve higher
profit margins. Beyond the collaboration with Kexing Biopharm, the
Group is actively pursuing FDA approval for Bogutai
® in the
United States, having already received a waiver for in vivo
bioequivalence studies. With this expedited regulatory pathway, FDA
approval is anticipated in 2027, further solidifying the Group's
position as a leader in osteoporosis treatment.
The Group is also advancing innovative pipeline products, including
Uni-PTH (microneedle) for osteoporosis and UB107 (a Class III medical
device) for bone repair, reinforcing its commitment to addressing unmet
medical needs in bone metabolism and regenerative medicine.
Shaping the Future of Osteoporosis Treatment
Looking ahead, Uni-Bio Science Group remains dedicated to expanding its
global footprint, deepening strategic partnerships, and accelerating the
development of innovative therapies. By bringing Chinese innovation to
the world, the Group aims to improve the lives of osteoporosis patients
and set new standards in bone health and regenerative medicine.
