JWPharmaceutical rose roughly 11% on hopes for expanded hair-loss drug reimbursement. Genexine gained about 16% on renewed attention to its DNA vaccine platform and the resolution of an international arbitration dispute. Each rally reflected a distinct growth story rather than near-term earnings gains.</p> <figure class="figure_frm origin_fig" contents-hash="fac6081be65dc888b115a2c393b3b6b940af828b38643bc25f55a8a09d3fdd60" dmcf-pid="2VOfk1mjwP" dmcf-ptype="figure"> <p class="link_figure"><img alt="GC Wellbeing Stock Price" class="thumb_g_article" data-org-src="https://t1.daumcdn.net/news/202609/05/Edaily/20260905080405794xapl.png" data-org-width="932" dmcf-mid="z2i1Qsd8Id" dmcf-mtype="image" height="auto" src="https://img3.daumcdn.net/thumb/R658x0.q70/?fname=https://t1.daumcdn.net/news/202609/05/Edaily/20260905080405794xapl.png" width="658"></p> <figcaption class="txt_caption default_figure"> GC Wellbeing Stock Price </figcaption> </figure> <p contents-hash="7094a4ea0004c3eeac73e7cacee47ef8982257ed058b1cff82f6eeb16b1b61a9" dmcf-pid="VfI4EtsAr6" dmcf-ptype="general"><strong>GC Wellbeing, China Phase 3 Win Validates One-to-Two-Dose Fat Reduction</strong></p> <p contents-hash="6c9a6912f328f99903b435d28ae569280af8370c3e88edd24a26129726fd41ae" dmcf-pid="f4C8DFOcr8" dmcf-ptype="general">GC Wellbeing closed up about 17% at 10,750 won after partner Raziel Therapeutics reported that RZL-012 met key efficacy and safety endpoints in a Chinese Phase 3 trial. The pivotal study enrolled 480 adults with submental fullness, run jointly by Raziel and Fosun Pharma affiliate JuveStar. RZL-012 met both primary and secondary endpoints at day 84 after a single treatment, with a response rate over 30 percentage points above placebo. Fosun and Raziel plan to file for approval with China's NMPA by year-end and are pursuing trials to expand into the abdomen and thighs.</p> <p contents-hash="25a5ca0e9666a10afc8d25dda7407b22daf43ca1203b5586f3c57364b1181594" dmcf-pid="4sKOUiB3m4" dmcf-ptype="general">RZL-012 destroys targeted fat cells and is designed to work in just one or two injections, versus multiple sessions for existing products.

Neither the scope nor timing has been confirmed, however, so some of the optimism may be running ahead of fundamentals.</p> <p contents-hash="e3b9f3f733a1b7db9bc8b04aa15a710cb180fc2636c8c41bef1c25306288b89b" dmcf-pid="y8h6w3IkDb" dmcf-ptype="general">The company's lineup spans oral drugs Monad Tab (finasteride) and Dutamoa Tab (dutasteride), topical minoxidil Mydil, and licensed Rogaine Foam, backed by a clinic-focused sales network in dermatology and urology. It has also added hair-care products via Galderma Korea and Pierre Fabre, and is co-developing a topical treatment, AD-303.</p> <p contents-hash="205be8f39b4036b1c94866cfd7312e808471eb9cdadc474044a487d3b713d91f" dmcf-pid="W6lPr0CErB" dmcf-ptype="general">Group synergy is another factor: affiliate JW Central recently licensed a twice-monthly GLP-1 obesity drug from China's Gan & Lee for $85 million and is developing its own hair-loss candidate, JW0061 — with JW Central handling hospital sales and global licensing while JW Pharmaceutical co-markets through clinics, a model already used for cholesterol drug Livalo.</p> <p contents-hash="947080d260a16cf9898480baebaf4cfa945ebcf8a73c6a2474794628a4b3755f" dmcf-pid="YPSQmphDDq" dmcf-ptype="general">A JW Central official said co-marketing arrangements would expand "once JW Central's new drugs are commercialized."</p> <p contents-hash="35944f1a7f652c26ca43591e564fd2686028ac964b123e1d0f3d47a79a8f1431" dmcf-pid="GQvxsUlwmz" dmcf-ptype="general"><strong>Genexine, 16% Rally on Renewed Focus on $200M Arbitration Win</strong></p> <p contents-hash="ab2a62a5527326914f11129486d06ce2b8e5c7257b4f4b0727eb86eb4f7cedbc" dmcf-pid="HRWeCzTsI7" dmcf-ptype="general">Genexine closed up about 16% at 3,260 won, with no fresh disclosure but renewed attention to its decisive ICC arbitration win against U.S.-based Ichor Medical Systems over the electroporation device used in its cervical cancer DNA vaccine candidate GX-188E. Ichor had alleged unauthorized use of its TriGrid device and sought up to $145.6 million in damages; the tribunal dismissed all claims and ordered Ichor to cover about 2.2 billion won of Genexine's legal costs. On Aug. 31, Genexine petitioned the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California to confirm and enforce the award.</p> <p contents-hash="b0e3893bea56c3a0df5307dd8e065eebcd8f43cfb9026c763efac057282daf2f" dmcf-pid="XeYdhqyOwu" dmcf-ptype="general">Analysts note that resolving the legal overhang is separate from restoring enterprise value, which still hinges on clinical and commercialization progress. One industry source said the rally "reflects resolution of legal uncertainty and demand for a re-rating of the technology assets, but whether it holds depends on actual business results — investors should stay cautious."</p> <p contents-hash="2a6d9d4f4bac7d37ec8a0377b23849ec6a31da8f126338a0d1f1ec989233fa86" dmcf-pid="ZdGJlBWIsU" dmcf-ptype="general">김승권 (peace@edaily.co.kr) </p> </section> </div> <p class="" data-translation="true">Copyright © 이데일리. 무단전재 및 재배포 금지.</p> 관련자료 이전 왜 다시 하드웨어 엔지니어인가…'터너스호' 애플 출범[애플 50년 새판 짠다②] 09-05 다음 감자 모양 화성의 달, 태양 삼켰다 [여기는 화성] 09-05 댓글 0 등록된 댓글이 없습니다. 로그인한 회원만 댓글 등록이 가능합니다.
