Annexon will present additional data from its Phase 2 ARCHER trial on ANX007 at the 42nd ASRS Annual Scientific Meeting in Stockholm, Sweden from July 17-20, 2024. The presentations will highlight the protective effects of ANX007 on visual acuity and anatomical measures in patients with geographic atrophy (GA), a condition causing irreversible vision loss. Dr. Glenn J. Jaffe and Dr. Joel Pearlman will discuss the trial's findings, showcasing ANX007's impact on the central macula's ellipsoid zone and retinal pigment epithelium. This trial is important for advancing therapies for neuroinflammatory diseases affecting vision.

Annexon announced positive results from its Phase 3 trial of ANX005, an immunotherapy targeting C1q for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Presented at the 2024 PNS Annual Meeting, data showed faster and more complete recovery for ANX005-treated patients compared to placebo.

Significant improvements were noted in primary and multiple pre-specified endpoints from Week 1 through Week 26. Two and a half times more ANX005-treated patients returned to a normal/pre-disease state of health by Week 26 compared to placebo.

Patients with North American and European baseline characteristics experienced larger benefits in disability and muscle strength measures. A single infusion of ANX005 was generally well-tolerated, with a safety profile similar to placebo.

These findings underscore the potential of ANX005 to become the first targeted immunotherapy for GBS, offering a new treatment option for a significant unmet need in the GBS landscape.

Annexon will present pivotal Phase 3 data on ANX005, a novel C1q blocking antibody for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), at the 2024 Peripheral Nerve Society Annual Meeting from June 22-25 in Montréal, Canada.

The data shows significant improvements in multiple functional and prognostic measures, indicating expedited recovery for GBS patients. ANX005 has the potential to become the first targeted therapy approved for GBS treatment.

Presentations will include an oral session on June 25, a lunch symposium, a flash oral presentation on June 23, and two poster presentations on June 23 and 24.
