About Protagonist

Protagonist Therapeutics is a late-stage development biopharmaceutical company. Two novel peptides derived from Protagonist's proprietary discovery platform are in advanced Phase 3 clinical development, with potential New Drug Application submissions to the FDA in 2025. JNJ-2113 is an oral Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) antagonist licensed to Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) in Phase 3 development for psoriasis and nearing completion of Phase 2b development for ulcerative colitis. Following JNJ-2113's joint discovery by Company and JNJ scientists pursuant to the companies' IL-23R collaboration, the Company was primarily responsible for development of JNJ-2113 through Phase 1, with JNJ assuming responsibility for development in Phase 2 and beyond. Rusfertide is a mimetic of the natural hormone hepcidin in Phase 3 development for the rare blood disorder polycythemia vera (PV). Rusfertide is being co-developed and will be co-commercialized with Takeda Pharmaceuticals pursuant to a worldwide collaboration and license agreement entered into in 2024 under which the Company remains primarily responsible for development through NDA filing. The Company also has a number of promising pre-clinical discovery programs addressing validated targets, including IL-17, obesity and oral hepcidin.
