Morgan Stanley 24th Annual Global Healthcare Conference summary
16 Sep, 2026Platform innovation and scientific rationale
Helicon platform enables targeting of previously undruggable intracellular proteins by using stabilized helical peptides, expanding druggable space beyond small molecules and antibodies.
Over 2,000 amino acids are used to create diverse peptides, allowing prediction and engagement of intracellular targets.
Zolucatetide is the first clinical test of the platform, showing ability to reach and inhibit intracellular targets.
Clinical progress and data highlights
Zolucatetide demonstrated a 74% response rate in 38 desmoid tumor patients, with median treatment time of nine months.
Safety profile is favorable, with minor bone effects at high doses and no new safety signals observed.
Phase III trial for desmoid tumors is planned for the first half of 2027, with dose and schedule optimization ongoing.
Endpoints under discussion with FDA include ORR and PFS, with a preference for a dual endpoint to expedite readout.
Indication expansion and pipeline strategy
Zolucatetide is being developed for desmoid tumors, FAP, ACP, HCC, and colorectal cancer, with tumor-agnostic studies planned.
In FAP, dramatic reductions in polyp burden have been observed, with dedicated cohort data expected in Q1 and further expansion through 2027.
ACP patients showed significant tumor reduction and improved symptoms in early data, with further recruitment prioritized.
HCC and CRC are being explored, with HCC data expected in the first half of next year and CRC combinations under development.
