Technology, programs & evidence

Holds exclusive development, manufacturing, and commercialization rights for linaclotide in Japan. It is included as a regional partner for an approved, locally acting oral disulfide-constrained peptide.

An April 2026 announcement reports first dosing in Phase 3 setidegrasib/ASP3082 for pancreatic cancer. A Japanese official registry also records first dosing in NSCLC Phase 3 in August 2026.

The flagship protein degrader is an internally developed KRAS G12D program; a separate Cullgen collaboration also exists.

The original 2025 discovery paper resolves the KRAS(G12D)/ASP3082/VHL ternary complex, supporting VHL-dependent proteasomal degradation.

An original March 2026 NEJM Phase 1 study included 203 patients and reported weekly intravenous dosing, safety, and antitumor activity. It is not used for direct cross-study ranking.

Icotrokinra meets Phase 3 joint-response endpoint in biologic-naive psoriatic arthritis

Johnson & Johnson reported that 58% of patients receiving icotrokinra 200 mg achieved ACR20 at Week 16 in ICONIC-PsA 1, versus 41% with placebo. The oral IL-23 receptor peptide also showed skin responses. The company reported no new safety signals through Week 24; active psoriatic arthritis remains an investigational indication.

Adjacent oral-peptide field: Entera reports $265.9 million cash as EB613 Phase 3 preparations continue

Entera reported $265.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, plus $6.5 million in restricted cash. Its November 6 update targets first site activation for an approximately 900-patient EB613 osteoporosis Phase 3 trial in late 2026. EB613 is an oral PTH(1-34) program, included here as an adjacent oral-peptide delivery development, not a cyclic-peptide candidate.

At Week 28, the oral peptide met noninferiority criteria versus ustekinumab across multiplicity-controlled key secondary skin-clearance endpoints.
