Celltrion

Designed to address limitations of current GLP-1 therapies by maximizing weight reduction while supporting preservation of muscle mass.Comprehensive toxicology studies, including primate studies, are underway as the program enters the final preclinical stage ahead of global clinical development.Positioned as a next-generation platform candidate with potential applicability across obesity, diabetes, and broader metabolic disease indications.Strategic collaboration with Japan-based Scohia Pharma supports development, with Celltrion expected to lead global development and commercialization.Expands Celltrion’s innovative pipeline beyond biosimilars into obesity, ADCs, and other novel therapeutics, reinforcing mid- to long-term growth drivers. INCHEON, South Korea – Celltrion today announced the initiation of primate toxicology studies for its next-generation obesity drug candidate, CT-G32, representing the final preclinical step prior to global clinical development. The company is advancing the program toward submission of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in the first half of next year.CT-G32 is a next-generation obesity candidate designed to simultaneously engage four targets, including GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), and is being advanced by Celltrion as a potential first-in-class therapeutic. The candidate is intended to address key limitations observed in the current GLP-1 treatment landscape, including variability in patient response, muscle loss, and treatment durability, while enhancing overall weight reduction efficacy.As the global obesity therapeutics market is projected to exceed USD 100 billion, competition to secure next-generation multi-agonist mechanisms continues to intensify across the pharmaceutical industry. Celltrion aims to position CT-G32 beyond a conventional weight-loss therapy and develop it as a broader metabolic disease platform capable of regulating fat, muscle, and overall energy metabolism.Under the current toxicology program, Celltrion will assess the safety and toxicity profile of CT-G32 in 252 rats and 48 monkeys. The study is expected to provide critical data to support dose selection and safety evaluation for future clinical trials. In parallel, the company plans to further characterize the candidate’s pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile.In earlier preclinical studies, CT-G32 demonstrated superior weight reduction at equivalent doses relative to a benchmark candidate previously under development, while also showing preservation of lean body mass, including muscle.Based on these preclinical findings, Celltrion intends to submit an IND application in the first half of next year and subsequently advance CT-G32 into global clinical development. The company is also evaluating the potential to expand the candidate beyond obesity into additional metabolic disease indications, including diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).To support this program, Celltrion has established a strategic collaboration framework with Japan-based Scohia Pharma and is jointly advancing development activities. Celltrion expects to play a leading role across the full value chain, including preclinical and clinical development as well as global commercialization, in order to strengthen its long-term competitiveness in the global market.In parallel with its quadruple-action injectable program, Celltrion is also developing a multi-action oral obesity candidate. Through differentiated treatment options across stages of care, the company seeks to maximize portfolio synergies and build a broader presence in the obesity therapeutics market. Research is currently underway to improve stability and bioavailability, with IND submission for the oral candidate targeted for the second half of 2028.A Celltrion official said, “CT-G32 is being developed as a next-generation candidate intended to address the limitations of current GLP-1-based therapies while extending Celltrion’s reach beyond obesity into broader metabolic disease areas.” The official added, “Leveraging the global development and manufacturing capabilities established through our biosimilar business, Celltrion will continue to expand its innovative pipeline in areas including obesity and ADCs in support of sustainable mid- to long-term growth.”

ZYMFENTRA blocks the action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a protein that can be overproduced in response to certain diseases and cause the immune system to attack normal, healthy parts of the body. ZYMFENTRA was approved by the FDA through the Biologics License Application (BLA) under the 351 (a) pathway of the Public Health Service Act (a "stand-alone" BLA). ZYMFENTRA is considered a new biologic with a first-approved subcutaneous administration form and thus will be under patent protection for its dosage form by 2037 and for its route of administration by 2040. Indication and Important Safety Information ZYMFENTRA® is a prescription medicine indicated in adults for maintenance treatment of: Moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease following treatment with an infliximab product administered intravenously.Moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis following treatment with an infliximab product administered intravenously. It is not known if ZYMFENTRA is safe and effective in children under 18 years of age. What is the most important information I should know about ZYMFENTRA? SERIOUS INFECTIONS Patients treated with ZYMFENTRA are at increased risk for developing serious infections involving various organ systems and sites that may lead to hospitalization or death. Discontinue ZYMFENTRA if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis. Reported infections include: Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Patients should be tested for latent TB before and during treatment with ZYMFENTRA. Treatment for latent infection should be initiated prior to treatment with ZYMFENTRA.Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Empiric anti-fungal therapy should be considered in patients at risk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness.Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria. The risks and benefits of treatment with ZYMFENTRA should be carefully considered prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with ZYMFENTRA, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy. Risk of infection may be higher in patients greater than 65 years of age, patients with comorbid conditions and/or patients taking concomitant immunosuppressant therapy. In clinical trials, other serious infections observed in patients treated with infliximab included arthritis bacterial, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection. MALIGNANCIES Malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children, adolescents, and young adults treated with TNF blockers, including infliximab products.Approximately half of these cases were lymphomas, including Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The other cases represented a variety of malignancies, including rare malignancies that are usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are not usually observed in children and adolescents. The malignancies occurred after a median of 30 months after the first dose of therapy. Most of the patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants. Post-marketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma, a rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers, including infliximab products. These cases have had a very aggressive disease course and have been fatal. The majority of reported cases have occurred in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, and most were in adolescent and young adult males. Almost all of these patients had received treatment with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine concomitantly with a TNF blocker at or prior to diagnosis. Carefully assess the risks and benefits of treatment with ZYMFENTRA, especially in these patient types. In clinical trials of all TNF blockers, more cases of malignancies were observed compared with controls and the expected rate in the general population. In clinical trials of some TNF blockers, including infliximab products, more cases of other malignancies were observed compared with controls. As the potential role of TNF blocker therapy in the development of malignancies is not known, caution should be exercised when considering treatment of patients with a current or a past history of malignancy. Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma have been reported in patients treated with TNF blocker therapy, including infliximab products. Periodic skin examination is recommended for all patients, particularly those with risk factors for skin cancer. CONTRAINDICATIONS ZYMFENTRA is contraindicated in patients with a previous severe hypersensitivity reaction to infliximab-dyyb, other infliximab products, any of the inactive ingredients of ZYMFENTRA or any murine proteins (severe hypersensitivity reactions have included anaphylaxis, hypotension and serum sickness). HEPATITIS B VIRUS REACTIVATION TNF blockers, including infliximab products, have been associated with reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in patients who are chronic carriers. Some cases were fatal. Patients should be tested for HBV infection before initiating ZYMFENTRA. For patients who test positive, consult a physician with expertise in the treatment of hepatitis B. Exercise caution when prescribing ZYMFENTRA for patients identified as carriers of HBV and monitor closely for active HBV infection during and following termination of therapy with ZYMFENTRA. Discontinue ZYMFENTRA in patients who develop HBV reactivation and initiate antiviral therapy with appropriate supportive treatment. Exercise caution when considering resumption of ZYMFENTRA and monitor patients closely. HEPATOTOXICITY Hepatobiliary disorders, including acute liver failure, jaundice abnormal hepatic function, hepatic steatosis, hepatitis, hepatotoxicity, hyperbilirubinemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver, have been reported in patients receiving infliximab products post-marketing. Some cases were fatal or required liver transplant. Aminotransferase elevations were not noted prior to discovery of liver injury in many cases. Patients with symptoms or signs of liver dysfunction should be evaluated for evidence of liver injury. If jaundice and/or marked liver enzyme elevations (eg, ≥5 times the upper limit of normal) develop, ZYMFENTRA should be discontinued and a thorough investigation of the abnormality should be undertaken. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE Cases of worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) and new onset CHF have been reported with TNF blockers. Some cases had a fatal outcome. In several exploratory trials of other TNF blockers in the treatment of CHF, there were greater proportions of TNF-blocker-treated patients who had CHF exacerbations requiring hospitalization or increased mortality. ZYMFENTRA has not been studied in patients with a history of CHF and ZYMFENTRA should be used with caution in patients with CHF. HEMATOLOGIC REACTION Cases of leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and pancytopenia (some fatal) have been reported. The causal relationship to infliximab-product therapy remains unclear. Exercise caution in patients who have ongoing or a history of significant hematologic abnormalities. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms of blood dyscrasias or infection. Consider discontinuation of ZYMFENTRA in patients who develop significant hematologic abnormalities. HYPERSENSITIVITY AND OTHER ADMINISTRATION REACTIONS In post-marketing experience, serious systemic hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis, hypotension and serum sickness) have been reported following administration of infliximab products. If an anaphylactic or other clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue ZYMFENTRA. INJECTION SITE REACTIONS In clinical studies, localized injection-site reactions were reported following administration of ZYMFENTRA. If a clinically significant injection-site reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue ZYMFENTRA. NEUROLOGIC REACTIONS Agents that inhibit TNF have been associated with central nervous system (CNS) manifestation of systemic vasculitis, seizure and new onset or exacerbation of CNS demyelinating disorders, including multiple sclerosis and optic neuritis and peripheral demyelinating disorders, including Guillain-Barré syndrome. Exercise caution when considering ZYMFENTRA in patients with these disorders and consider discontinuation if these disorders develop. RISK OF INFECTION WITH CONCURRENT ADMINISTRATION OF OTHER BIOLOGICS PRODUCTS Serious infections and neutropenia have been reported with concurrent use of ZYMFENTRA with other immunosuppressive biological products. The concurrent use of ZYMFENTRA with other immunosuppressive biological products used to treat UC and CD may increase the risk of infection and is not recommended. RISK OF ADDITIVE IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE EFFECTS FROM PRIOR BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS Consider the half-life and mode of action of prior biological products to avoid unintended additive immunosuppressive effects when initiating ZYMFENTRA. AUTOIMMUNITY Treatment with TNF blockers may result in the formation of autoantibodies and in the development of a lupus-like syndrome. Discontinue ZYMFENTRA treatment if symptoms of a lupus-like syndrome develop. VACCINATIONS AND USE OF LIVE VACCINES/THERAPEUTIC INFECTIOUS AGENTS Prior to initiating ZYMFENTRA, update vaccinations in accordance with current vaccination guidelines. Live vaccines or therapeutic infectious agents should not be given with ZYMFENTRA due to the possibility of clinical infections, including disseminated infections. At least a 6-month waiting period following birth is recommended before the administration of any live vaccine to infants exposed in utero to ZYMFENTRA. ADVERSE REACTIONS In clinical trials with ZYMFENTRA, the most common adverse reactions occurring in ≥3% of ZYMFENTRA-treated patients included site reactions, COVID-19, anemia, arthralgia, infection site reaction, increased alanine aminotransferase and abdominal pain for UC, and COVID-19, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, injection site reaction, diarrhea, increased blood creatine phosphokinase, arthralgia, increased alanine aminotransferase, hypertension, urinary tract infection, neutropenia, dizziness and leukopenia for CD. Please click for Full U.S. Prescribing Information. Globally, prescribing information varies; refer to the individual country product label for complete information.About Digestive Disease Week® Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) is the largest international gathering of physicians, researchers and academics in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.

Celltrion will add Plants 4 and 5 at its Songdo HQ with a total capacity of 180,000 liters, while also undertaking a 75,000-liter expansion at its U.S. manufacturing site.Celltrion’s total DS production capacity will be expanded to 571,000 liters, with the goal of achieving 100% internalization of DS production by 2031 and further cost reductions.Through the establishment of sustainable manufacturing infrastructure, Celltrion aims to strengthen cost competitiveness and supply stability, and build a foundation for its CMO business.Celltrion is also expanding DP manufacturing facilities in Songdo and Yesan, which is expected to enable approximately 90% internalization of its global DP supply.Celltrion plans to proactively respond to the expanding product portfolio and global demand, while actively considering securing additional manufacturing capacity if necessary. INCHEON, South Korea – Celltrion announced today that it plans to secure additional manufacturing capacity through a large-scale expansion investment exceeding KRW 1 trillion at its Songdo headquarters to respond to rapidly increasing global demand for its biologics portfolio and further strengthen its global manufacturing competitiveness. The expansion investment will be implemented in phases from this year through 2030 and will focus on expanding manufacturing infrastructure across the Songdo campus in Korea, the company’s production base in the U.S., and domestic business sites. This investment goes beyond expanding manufacturing capacity and is intended to establish a long-term growth foundation to support the reliable production and supply of next-generation biosimilars and innovative drug candidates currently under development, while enabling the expansion of the company’s global contract manufacturing (CMO) business. KRW 1.2Tn investment in the Songdo campus to construct Plants 4 and 5 with a total capacity of 180,000 liters to support pipeline products and CMO demand Celltrion will invest KRW 1.2265 trillion to construct Plants 4 and 5 with a combined capacity of 180,000 liters at its Songdo campus in Incheon, where the company’s headquarters are located. The new facilities will incorporate advanced automation systems and smart factory technologies, which are expected to maximize production efficiency and operational flexibility. This will enable a wide range of production capabilities, from small-batch, multi-product production to large-scale manufacturing, allowing the company to respond more rapidly to the production needs of its next-generation biosimilars and novel drugs to be launched in the future as well as its current key products. The planned facility expansion is intended to support the rapidly growing production demand of the company’s follow-on pipeline while proactively responding to increasing CMO requests. Branchburg facility in the U.S. to be expanded by 75,000 liters… total DS production capacity to reach 570,000 liters globally To further strengthen its competitiveness in the United States, Celltrion has finalized the scope of expansion of the manufacturing facility in Branchburg, New Jersey. The planned expansion has been increased from the originally proposed 66,000 liters to 75,000 liters, bringing the facility’s total production capacity for drug substances (DS) from the current 66,000 liters to 141,000 liters. As demand for local biologics manufacturing in the United States continues to grow rapidly, the Branchburg facility is expected to play a key role in supporting Celltrion’s supply of its products in the U.S. and expanding its CMO business. Once the facility expansions in Korea and overseas are completed, Celltrion’s DS production capacity will increase significantly from the current 316,000 liters to 571,000 liters. Upon completion of the expansion, Celltrion expects to achieve 100% internalization of DS production while realizing significant additional cost savings. Company-wide DP manufacturing expansion in Songdo and Yesan, aiming to raise DP production internalization to 90% In addition to strengthening its DS manufacturing capabilities, Celltrion is making broad investments to enhance its global competitiveness in drug product (DP) manufacturing. The new DP plant currently under construction at the Songdo campus has reached over 70% completion and is expected to be finished within this year, with commercial operations scheduled to begin next year. The facility will serve as a DP-only production plant and will be capable of producing up to 6.5 million liquid vials annually. Together with the existing DP line at Plant 2, which has a maximum annual output of 4 million vials, Celltrion will secure total DP capacity of approximately 10.5 million vials per year in Songdo alone. In addition, Celltrion has also finalized the site for a new DP manufacturing facility in Yesan Industrial Complex, Chungcheongnam-do, and plans to begin design work within this year. Once the Yesan DP facility is completed and the planned expansion of pre-filled syringe (PFS) manufacturing facilities by Celltrion Pharm is carried out, the company expects to internalize approximately 90% of its global DP supply volume, enabling substantial cost savings compared with overseas DP contract manufacturing. Meanwhile, Celltrion is conducting thorough reviews of safety management systems across all ongoing construction projects and will prioritize safety as the top priority in all expansion projects, including Plants 4 and 5. Responding with agility to surging global demand… “Additional manufacturing expansion may be considered, if necessary.” Through sequential domestic and overseas expansion investments, Celltrion plans to fully implement its global two-track manufacturing strategy and maximize its market responsiveness to rapidly changing economic conditions. Domestic manufacturing facilities will enhance production internalization and improve cost efficiency, strengthening competitiveness in global tenders and driving revenue growth in markets outside the United States. For its part, the U.S. manufacturing site will serve as a local supply hub for Celltrion’s products and CMO production, thereby proactively mitigating potential trade risks such as tariffs while enhancing local profitability. “This investment will enable the company to respond swiftly to rapidly growing global demand for biologics while significantly improving profitability through strengthened cost competitiveness and supply stability,” a Celltrion official said. “By establishing a comprehensive manufacturing infrastructure encompassing both innovative drugs and biosimilars as two key growth pillars, along with our expanding CMO business, Celltrion will take another step forward toward becoming a global top-tier biopharmaceutical company.” Looking ahead, Celltrion plans to actively consider securing additional manufacturing facilities in line with global market conditions and the launch of its pipeline products if necessary.
