Oncopeptides AB ( (SE:ONCO) ) has issued an announcement.

Oncopeptides reported a strong start to 2026, with first-quarter net sales rising 91 percent year-on-year to SEK 25.4 million, driven by robust Pepaxti demand in Italy and renewed growth in Germany. Despite an operating loss of SEK 37.5 million and a negative profit after tax, the company improved its earnings versus last year and strengthened liquidity, ending the quarter with SEK 205.2 million in cash.

Strategically, the group announced a rights issue of about SEK 200 million, advanced its R&D pipeline with fast-track status for a glioblastoma study and new NK-cell engager data, and moved to expand Pepaxti’s label to third-line treatment. These steps aim to reinforce Pepaxti’s positioning in multiple myeloma, deepen real-world evidence in Europe, and support Oncopeptides’ transition toward a more commercially driven and financially resilient oncology player.
