An EU marketing application is under EMA review, and a U.S. BLA submission is expected in Q4 2026.

Annexon (Nasdaq: ANNX) has expanded its Phase 3 ARCHER II trial of vonaprument in dry age-related macular degeneration with geographic atrophy by adding a Month 24 dual primary endpoint to complement the existing Month 15 primary endpoint. This design allows independent assessment of vonaprument’s ability to protect against vision loss at either timepoint while the study remains masked through Month 24.
All eligible patients have received at least 12 months of treatment, with masked event accrual tracking projections, discontinuation <10% and compliance >95%. An open-label extension will offer monthly vonaprument after Month 24 to assess long-term safety and benefit. A DMC review of the Month 15 primary endpoint is expected in Q4 2026, with sub-study results anticipated in Q1 2027 if criteria are met, and overall completion including Month 24 analyses targeted for Q3 2027. Vonaprument holds FDA FastTrack, EMA PRIME status, and participation in EMA’s Product Development Coordinator pilot.
Annexon (Nasdaq: ANNX) appointed renowned retinal surgeon and biotechnology entrepreneur Mark S. Blumenkranz, M.D., M.M.S. to its board of directors, adding more than four decades of clinical, scientific and corporate leadership in retinal disease. Annexon also reported that long-serving director and investor Muneer Satter will step down from the board after more than 11 years of service.
According to Annexon, Dr. Blumenkranz’s expertise in retinal surgery, drug delivery, imaging and gene therapy, and his history of founding and leading multiple ophthalmic and life science companies, is expected to support the company as it advances vonaprument for geographic atrophy toward pivotal Phase 3 data and potential registration, and progresses its C1q‑targeted platform for neuroinflammatory diseases.
Annexon (Nasdaq: ANNX) reported early data from the first 10 U.S. and European patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in its ongoing open-label FORWARD study of tanruprubart.

Four previously bedbound patients walked with or without assistance between days two and eight, and one ventilated patient was off ventilation within four days. Five other patients had marked functional gains within 48 hours. Tanruprubart was generally well-tolerated, with adverse events mainly related to GBS, and results were described as consistent with a prior Phase 3 study in which about 90% of patients improved by day 8. According to Annexon, FORWARD data are expected to support a planned BLA submission in Q4 2026, while a Marketing Authorisation Application is already under review by the EMA.

The presentation will focus on baseline characteristics linked to best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥15-letter loss, based on the Phase 2 ARCHER trial in which vonaprument demonstrated significant vision preservation in GA patients.

Vonaprument is described as a first-in-kind, non-pegylated antigen-binding fragment (Fab) targeting C1q, an aberrant trigger of neurodegeneration in GA. The oral presentation, titled “Baseline Characteristics Associated with Loss of BCVA ≥15 ETDRS Letters in Participants with Geographic Atrophy in the Phase 2 ARCHER Study,” will be delivered by Margaret Chang, M.D., M.S., of Retinal Consultants Medical Group, on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 10:44 am Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
