HitGen reports nine-month revenue growth of 48.73%

HitGen reported consolidated revenue of RMB0.550 billion, up 48.73%, and attributable net income of RMB139.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Attributable net income increased 50.11%. These are consolidated year-to-date figures rather than third-quarter-only results. The quarterly filing is unaudited and covers the year-to-date period.

Bioconjugate Chemistry

Synthesis of DNA-Encoded Bicyclic Peptides via Cysteine-Promoted Cyclization and Amide Condensation Reaction

HitGen researchers describe a method for synthesizing DNA-encoded bicyclic peptides using cysteine-promoted cyclization and amide condensation under mild conditions. The abstract reports compatibility with varied sequences and ring sizes. This is discovery-platform chemistry, not evidence that the resulting peptides have oral exposure, clinical efficacy, or validated manufacturing-scale performance.

Johnson & Johnson (PR Newswire)

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.

ICONIC-ASCEND reports icotrokinra noninferiority to ustekinumab in plaque psoriasis

Johnson & Johnson reported that ICONIC-ASCEND met its Week 16 co-primary endpoints: PASI 90 responses were 55.2% with icotrokinra versus 3.6% with placebo, and IGA 0/1 responses were 70.4% versus 9.5%. At Week 28, the oral peptide met noninferiority criteria versus ustekinumab across multiplicity-controlled key secondary skin-clearance endpoints.
