Repatha
- In March, results from a new subgroup analysis of the Phase 3 VESALIUS-CV clinical trial were presented at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session and simultaneously published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In this subset of 3,655 high-risk patients with diabetes without known significant atherosclerosis, Repatha:
- demonstrated a
31% relative reduction in the risk of a composite of coronary heart disease death, heart attack or ischemic stroke (3-P MACE). - demonstrated a
31% reduction in a broader composite that also included ischemia-driven revascularization (4-P MACE). - reduced the risk of heart attack also by
31% . - was associated with a nominal
32% decreased risk of cardiovascular death and a24% decreased risk of all-cause death.
- demonstrated a
- Further subgroup analysis from VESALIUS-CV in patients who had a prior percutaneous coronary intervention will be presented at the upcoming European Course on Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions in May.
- Further subgroup analysis from VESALIUS-CV in patients with high-risk of diabetes with and without known atherosclerosis will be presented at the upcoming American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in June.
- EVOLVE-MI, a Phase 4 study of Repatha initiated within 10 days of an acute myocardial infarction to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, is ongoing.

- The OCEAN(a)-Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), a Phase 3 coronary artery plaque study, was initiated and is enrolling patients with atherosclerotic CV disease and elevated Lp(a).
Rare Disease
UPLIZNA
- In February, the European Commission approved UPLIZNA as an add-on to standard therapy for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adult patients who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive.
- Phase 3 studies of UPLIZNA in patients with autoimmune hepatitis and in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy will be initiated H2 2026.
TEPEZZA
- In April, the Company announced positive topline results from a Phase 3 trial of TEPEZZA administered by subcutaneous injection via an on-body injector (OBI) in adults with moderate-to-severe active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). In this study, TEPEZZA OBI:
- showed comparable efficacy to intravenous (IV) TEPEZZA.
- achieved the primary endpoint with a
77% proptosis response rate at week 24 compared to19.6% for placebo (p<0.0001). - demonstrated a clinically meaningful mean reduction in proptosis of -3.17 mm at week 24 compared to -0.80 mm for placebo (p<0.0001).
- showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across the following additional secondary endpoints: overall responder rate; percentage of patients achieving a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of 0 or 1; change in diplopia as ordinal response categories; diplopia response rate; complete diplopia responder rate; and mean change from baseline in week 24 in the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) appearance subscale.
- demonstrated overall safety results that were generally consistent with the known safety profile of TEPEZZA IV. Mild-to-moderate injection site reactions were observed with subcutaneous administration in some patients, which did not result in treatment interruption or discontinuation. The most common adverse events (≥
10% ) were muscle spasms, tinnitus, weight decrease, ear discomfort, nausea and diarrhea. Full results from the study will be presented at an upcoming medical congress.
- A separate Phase 3b/4 trial, conducted to fulfill a
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) postmarketing requirement for TEPEZZA IV, has been completed. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three treatment durations (four, eight and 16 infusions) of TEPEZZA IV given once every 3 weeks in adult TED patients and assess the need for retreatment. The study was descriptive in nature. The observed risk profile was consistent with the known profile of TEPEZZA IV. The postmarketing data will be submitted to regulatory authorities and presented at an upcoming medical congress.
TAVNEOS
- TAVNEOS (avacopan), a product the Company acquired in connection with its acquisition of ChemoCentryx, Inc in 2022, was approved by the FDA in October 2021. TAVNEOS is indicated for the adjunctive treatment of adult patients with severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in combination with standard therapy including glucocorticoids.
- On April 27, 2026, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) issued a proposal to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS, asserting that there is new information indicating lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness for the drug and that ChemoCentryx's application that resulted in FDA approval contained untrue statements of material facts.
- On April 30, 2026, the FDA posted a notice in the Federal Register that proposes to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS and announced an opportunity for ChemoCentryx, as the
U.S. marketing authorization holder, to request a hearing on this proposal. - As such, ChemoCentryx may request a hearing on this proposal, after which the FDA will determine whether there is a genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a hearing. If a hearing is not granted, the FDA may enter summary judgment and ultimately withdraw approval.
- The Company intends to engage with the FDA, continues to believe that TAVNEOS demonstrates effectiveness and a favorable benefit–risk profile, and intends to follow the appropriate process to support its position. As the FDA's statement reporting its proposal indicates, TAVNEOS will remain on the market during the pendency of this process.
- Hepatotoxicity is a known risk of TAVNEOS treatment for AAV and has been a subject of ongoing dialogue with the FDA. In 2024, the Company provided an analysis of serious post-marketing cases of hepatotoxicity to the FDA. On March 31, 2026, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication notifying patients and health care professionals about serious postmarketing cases including fatal cases of drug induced liver injury associated with TAVNEOS.
- The current
U.S. label includes a warning about hepatotoxicity and guidance for monitoring patients. The Drug Safety Communication provides additional information about drug-induced liver injury and vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) associated with TAVNEOS. - Since approval in 2021, cases of VBDS have been reported, largely from
Japan and none fromthe United States . Most patients who had VBDS were aged 65 years and older, and most cases occurred within 90 days of starting TAVNEOS. VBDS has been fatal in some of these patients. The Company remains committed to keeping patient safety, needs, and support at the forefront. - On April 29, 2026, the Company submitted a Changes Being Effected (CBE-30) supplement to the FDA. The CBE-30 filing amends the hepatotoxicity warning language in the label to provide more information on cases of VBDS that have been observed in the post-marketing setting, including that cases with fatal outcomes have been reported, and modifies language regarding liver panel testing and treatment discontinuation rules.
- A Phase 3, open-label study of TAVNEOS in combination with rituximab or a cyclophosphamide-containing regimen is enrolling patients from 6 years to < 18 years of age with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)/Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA)).
