HANGZHOU, China, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Hangzhou Andao Pharmaceutical Ltd. and Kind Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Kind Pharmaceuticals"), together with its Chief Executive Officer Dr. Dong Liu and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Shaojiang Deng, announced a resolution of their recent dispute with FibroGen, Inc. regarding Kind Pharmaceuticals' hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF- PHI) technology. The parties have agreed to withdraw all pending legal proceedings between them regarding this HIF-PHI technology, without payment by either party.
