PegBio Co-B (02565.HK) experienced a significant intraday surge of 18.76%, continuing its recent volatile trading pattern.
The stock's movement is driven by accelerating commercialization efforts for its GLP-1 drug Paidakang (vipetnapeptide injection). PegBio has established a strategic partnership with Tenry Pharma, granting exclusive commercialization rights for Paidakang in mainland China with a cumulative sales target exceeding RMB 10 billion and upfront royalty payments of approximately HK$140 million.
Further bolstering commercialization prospects, Tenry Pharma recently signed a cooperation agreement with Ark Health for the online debut of the drug on its internet hospital platform. PegBio's core product PB-119, a once-weekly long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonist approved in November 2025, targets the substantial type 2 diabetes and obesity markets.
