(NASDAQ: PTGX) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel, orally administered peptide-based therapies for immune-mediated and other serious diseases. The company leverages its proprietary Peptide 2.0 platform to design peptides that target G protein–coupled receptors and cytokine receptors, with the goal of combining the potency of biologics with the convenience of oral administration. Protagonist’s approach aims to address unmet medical needs in areas where injectable therapies have been the standard of care. Among its lead programs is PTG-100, an oral α4β7 integrin antagonist intended to block leukocyte migration to the gut in ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. PTG-200, a selective interleukin-23 receptor antagonist, is in Phase 2 clinical trials for moderate to severe Crohn’s disease. The company’s PTG-300 program is a hepcidin mimetic being evaluated in hematologic disorders characterized by iron overload, including polycythemia vera and myelofibrosis. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Protagonist Therapeutics conducts global clinical trials across North America, Europe and Asia. The company is led by a team of seasoned biotechnology executives with deep expertise in peptide drug discovery and development.
