We are evaluating rezpegaldesleukin in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, severe-to-very-severe alopecia areata and, in collaboration with TrialNet, in new-onset stage 3 Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
In July 2026, we announced the initiation of the first two global registrational trials (ZENITH AD-1 and ZENITH AD-2) in the Phase 3 ZENITH AD program for rezpegaldesleukin. The Phase 3 ZENITH AD program is evaluating rezpegaldesleukin in patients who are 12 years of age or older with moderate-to-se…
In February 2025, we announced that the FDA had granted Fast Track designation for rezpegaldesleukin for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or…
In October 2023, we initiated a Phase 2b clinical study of rezpegaldesleukin in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (the Phase 2b RESOLVE-AD trial), which is ongoing. In March 2024, we initiated a Phase 2b clinical study in patients with severe-to-very severe alopecia areata (the Phas…
In June 2025, we announced statistically significant data from the 16-week induction period of the Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial being conducted in 393 patients. In the trial, patients were randomized (3:3:3:2) to receive subcutaneous treatment with

On June 24, 2025, we announced statistically significant data from the 16-week induction period of the ongoing Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial being conducted in 393 patients. In the trial, patients were randomized (3:3:3:2) to receive subcutaneous treatment with one of three doses of rezpegaldesleukin: a…
As announced on June 24, 2025, the Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial met its primary endpoint of the mean improvement in EASI from baseline at week 16 for all three dose arms of rezpegaldesleukin versus placebo (p<0.001). All three dose arms also achieved statistical significance at week 16 for the key seco…
We continue to advance our most promising research drug candidates into preclinical development with the objective of advancing these early-stage research programs to human clinical studies over the next several years. Our lead research program is based on tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor type I…
In oncology, our drug candidate NKTR-255 is an investigational biologic that is designed to target the IL-15 pathway in order to activate the body’s innate and adaptive immunity. Through optimal engagement of the IL-15 receptor complex, NKTR-255 is designed to enhance functional NK cell populations …

We previously relied on Lilly (through the Lilly Agreement) to initiate, properly conduct, and prioritize clinical trials and other development-related activities for rezpegaldesleukin. In February 2023, we announced that the Phase 2 Lupus Study of rezpegaldesleukin in systemic lupus erythematosus (…
We are also collaborating with TrialNet to conduct a Phase 2 study of rezpegaldesleukin in patients with new onset stage 3 Type 1 diabetes mellitus. We will also explore other autoimmune indications for the development of rezpegaldesleukin. While we believe we currently have the documents, records, …

If sufficient capital is not available to us or is not available on commercially reasonable terms, it could require us to delay or reduce one or more of our research and development programs. If we are unable to sufficiently advance our research and development programs, it could substantially impai…
It is very difficult to estimate the commercial potential of drug candidates due to important factors such as safety and efficacy compared to other available treatments, including changing standards of care, third party payer reimbursement standards, patient and physician preferences, the availabili…

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
