    How Investors Are Reacting To Protagonist Therapeutics (PTGX) Rusfertide’s Pivotal Phase 3 VERIFY Results

    Simply Wall St·12/17/2025 12:25:51
    Listen to the news
    • Protagonist Therapeutics and collaboration partner Takeda recently reported 52-week data from the pivotal Phase 3 VERIFY trial of rusfertide in polycythemia vera, showing durable hematocrit control without phlebotomy eligibility and a safety profile in line with prior results.
    • The therapy’s multiple FDA designations, including Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug, underscore its potential importance for patients who remain phlebotomy-dependent despite current standard treatments.
    • We’ll now look at how rusfertide’s durable Phase 3 VERIFY data and regulatory designations shape Protagonist Therapeutics’ broader investment narrative.

    What Is Protagonist Therapeutics' Investment Narrative?

    To own Protagonist Therapeutics, you really have to believe that rusfertide and the J&J-partnered icotrokinra can turn today’s largely milestone-driven revenue into durable, product-based cash flows. The new 52-week VERIFY data fit neatly into that thesis, reinforcing rusfertide’s durability and safety in a clearly defined PV population and arguably sharpening the company’s near-term regulatory and partnership catalysts rather than changing them outright. With the share price already close to consensus targets after a very large multi‑year run, the market seems to have priced in a fair amount of success, which makes execution risk more important. Key swing factors now look like regulatory decisions on rusfertide, J&J’s progress across the ICONIC program, and Protagonist’s need to fund any future unpartnered assets without unduly diluting shareholders.

    However, investors should also understand how much is riding on a small number of clinical and regulatory outcomes. Protagonist Therapeutics' shares have been on the rise but are still potentially undervalued by 22%. Find out what it's worth.
