Protagonist Therapeutics Ranked in the Top 3% of Fastest-Growing Companies in North America on the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500(TM)

NEWARK, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2023 / Protagonist Therapeutics (Nasdaq:PTGX) today announced it ranked in the top 3% of the 2023 Deloitte Technology Fast 500TM, a list of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech and energy tech companies in North America. Life sciences and software companies dominated at the top of the Fast 500 this year; Protagonist joins Vir Biotechnology and Moderna among the top companies across all sectors.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 selects winners based on percentage fiscal year revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. Protagonist's revenue growth was fueled by milestones and royalties stemming from partnership of a novel oral peptide therapeutic program for immunologic and inflammatory disease.

Dinesh V. Patel, PhD, President and CEO, Protagonist Therapeutics, said, "Protagonist Therapeutics is very pleased to be ranked among the top 20 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 winners for 2023. This honor reflects the validation of our innovative peptide technology platform, the promise of peptide therapeutics, the dedication of our team and the strength of our partnerships. We intend to continue on this trajectory with the ultimate goal of bringing new medicines to address unmet needs in patients."

Paul Silverglate, vice chair, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology sector leader, said, "Each year, we look forward to reviewing the progress and innovations of our Technology Fast 500 winners. This year is especially celebratory as we expand the number of winners to better represent just how many companies are developing new ideas to progress our society and the world, especially during a slow economy."

About Protagonist Therapeutics

Protagonist Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company with peptide-based new chemical entities (NCEs) rusfertide and JNJ-2113 (formerly PN-235) in advanced stages of clinical development, both derived from the Company's proprietary technology platform. Protagonist and Janssen scientists jointly discovered PN-235 (now known as JNJ-2113) as part of Protagonist's Interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) collaboration with Janssen and followed it through IND-enabling pre-clinical and Phase 1 studies, with Janssen assuming responsibility for further clinical development. Rusfertide, a mimetic of the natural hormone hepcidin, is the Company's lead drug candidate currently in a global Phase 3 development program.
