Insilico Medicine (3696.HK), a clinical-stage, generative AI-driven drug discovery company, today announced the completion of first patient first dose in BETHESDA: a Phase IIa clinical trial of ISM5411 (NCT07265570), which has recently been granted the generic name of Garutadustat by the United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council.

New research shows that adolescents who were overweight, struggled to make friends, were born outside the U.S., or faced mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD or learning disabilities were at greater risk of involvement in bullying, either as victims, perpetrators or both.
