Processa announced a research collaboration and exclusive option agreement with Generian Pharmaceuticals to advance an oral macrocyclic peptide FcRn antagonist program. The companies aim to develop oral alternatives to injectable treatments for IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. The announcement disclosed neither human data for the peptide program nor financial terms; a separate BTK program received Phase 2 IND clearance.
Ahead of the AHA meeting, an original report reviewed enlicitide analyses across PREVENT cardiovascular risk groups and an open-label extension. LDL cholesterol reductions were broadly consistent across risk categories and persisted through Week 104. The extension selected participants who had tolerated and adhered to treatment and lacked a control group, limiting generalization of its long-term findings.
Aurinia reported LUPKYNIS net product sales of $232.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, up 18%, including $79.4 million in the third quarter, up 12%. Total company revenue also includes licensing, collaboration, and royalty income. These are commercialization results for an approved oral cyclic peptide, rather than a new indication approval or clinical endpoint readout.
A new review connects peptide structure, formulation, screening, and pharmacokinetic testing in an evidence-based framework for oral drug discovery. It distinguishes architecture-led libraries, oral optimization of existing hits, and hybrid approaches. The scope includes cyclic and noncyclic peptides; the proposed framework organizes development evidence rather than demonstrating a new therapy or clinical benefit.
