Perseus Proteomics Wins AMED Grant to Advance PPMX-T003 for Rare Leukemia

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Perseus Proteomics, Inc. ( (JP:4882) ) has issued an announcement.

Perseus Proteomics has secured a JPY 100 million grant under Japan’s FY2026 Drug Discovery Support Promotion Program managed by AMED to advance its antibody candidate PPMX-T003 for aggressive NK-cell leukemia. The funding will support an investigator-initiated clinical trial targeting a rare, rapidly progressing leukemia that predominantly affects younger and middle-aged patients and currently lacks effective treatments.

PPMX-T003 is designed to bind transferrin receptor 1, which is highly expressed in hematopoietic and many cancer cells, with the aim of blocking iron uptake and suppressing malignant cell proliferation. The grant, expected to be provided over up to three fiscal years starting in FY2025 and booked as long-term deposits in the year ending March 2027, offers non-dilutive financing that advances Perseus Proteomics’ clinical development without materially affecting current-year financial results.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:4882) stock is a Hold with a Yen241.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Perseus Proteomics, Inc. stock, see the JP:4882 Stock Forecast page.
