A Protagonist is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developingfirst-in-class oral peptide drugsthat specifically target biological pathways involved in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), also targeted by currently marketed injectable antibody drugs. Compared to injectable antibody drugs, oral peptides offer targeted delivery to the gastrointestinal (GI) tissue compartment, potential for improved safety due to minimal exposure in the blood, improved convenience and compliance due to oral delivery, and the opportunity for earlier introduction of targeted therapy.
