Genmab Portfolio Prioritization Update
Company Announcement
- Genmab to discontinue clinical development of acasunlimab following a portfolio review
- Decision reflects prioritization of higher‑impact opportunities across Genmab’s late‑stage pipeline and increasingly competitive landscape
- This decision does not impact Genmab’s full‑year 2025 financial guidance
“After careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the acasunlimab program. Although the data have been encouraging, the compelling opportunities we see in our late‑stage pipeline led us to focus our investments where we believe we can deliver the greatest benefit for patients and shareholders. We are highly energized by the momentum of EPKINLY, petosemtamab and Rina‑S, and we remain committed to executing these programs with speed and rigor,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Genmab.
This decision does not impact Genmab’s full‑year 2025 financial guidance.
