Protalix BioTherapeutics reported a net income of $164,000 for Q2 2025, a significant improvement from a net loss of $2.2 million in the same period last year. Total revenue increased to $15.658 million, driven by strong sales of Elfabrio to Chiesi, despite decreases in sales to Fiocruz (Brazil) and Pfizer. The company also saw a substantial increase in research and development expenses due to preparations for the PRX-115 Phase 2 clinical trial.
