Arecor boosts cash and partnerships as AT278 insulin heads toward Phase 2

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Arecor Therapeutics PLC ( (GB:AREC) ) has provided an announcement.

Arecor Therapeutics reported audited full-year 2025 results highlighting strong operational progress in its diabetes and oral peptide delivery franchises, despite lower revenue stemming from the closure of Tetris Pharma. Lead insulin candidate AT278 advanced toward Phase 2, supported by positive U.S. FDA feedback, a co-development deal with Sequel Med Tech to integrate AT278 into the twiist automated insulin delivery system, and post-year-end confirmation of the parties’ intent to broaden this into a full co-development and commercialisation partnership.

The group also advanced its early-stage oral peptide delivery platform, filed new international patents to bolster intellectual property, and signed three new Arestat-based formulation collaborations worth over £1 million in pre-license revenue. Financially, Arecor strengthened its balance sheet via an $11 million royalty financing with Ligand Pharmaceuticals and ended the year with £6.1 million in cash, giving it runway to complete Phase 2 trial-enabling work for AT278 and build a data package for its oral peptide technology while maintaining tight cost control.
