Hansa Biopharma (HNSA) will present data from its Phase 2 single-arm study of imlifidase, an IgG cleaving enzyme, for treating Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) at the 2025 PNS Annual Meeting in Edinburgh. The study, conducted across the UK, France, and Netherlands, evaluated a single dose of imlifidase (0.25 mg/kg) combined with standard of care intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in 30 adult GBS patients.
Professor Shahram Attarian from Hopitaux Universitaires de Marseille will present the findings on May 18. The study results, initially communicated in December 2024, showed that administering imlifidase prior to standard of care was safe and well-tolerated, demonstrating significant potential for treating GBS patients.

Data readout is expected in the second half of 2026, after which Hansa will seek full authorization from the European Medicines Agency. This study follows the conditional authorization granted by the European Commission for IDEFIRIX® in 2020.
Hansa Biopharma reported strong financial results for Q4 and full year 2024, with IDEFIRIX product sales showing an 83% increase to 189.7 MSEK compared to the previous year (103.7 MSEK), excluding a 49.6 MSEK provision for retroactive price adjustments.

Hansa Biopharma announced positive full results from its Phase 2 study of imlifidase in Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). The study showed that severe GBS patients treated with imlifidase plus IVIg achieved faster recovery, with a median time of 16 days to walk independently. The treatment demonstrated significant advantages compared to standard IVIg therapy alone, with patients walking independently 6 weeks sooner than the control group.
Key findings include: 37% of patients could walk independently within the first week, 67% by eight weeks, and 63% could run or had no functional disability after six months. The comparative analysis showed patients were 6.4 times more likely to walk independently at week 1 and 4.2 times more likely at week 4 compared to the control group.
