What changed

Haisco disclosed clinical-trial clearance for HSK47388(I) tablets in inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, while its psoriasis program was already in Phase 2. The filing describes preclinical effects in rat colitis models, not patient efficacy. This milestone expands authorized clinical development and is not marketing approval or confirmation of therapeutic benefit.

Why it may matter

Updates an outdated Phase 1-only listing while distinguishing formulations, indications, trial authorization, and demonstrated clinical outcomes.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

Enlicitide reports address durability and baseline cardiovascular risk

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.

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.

New review maps evidence standards for orally active peptides

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.
