Stock reactions have been strongest on clear clinical data, with restructuring and naming updates producing more modest or mixed moves.
Over the past few months, IFRX updates have centered on izicopan and vilobelimab. Positive Phase 2a data on INF904 in HS and CSU on Nov 10, 2025 coincided with a strong 28.46% gain, while later INN naming for izicopan on Dec 11, 2025 saw a modest -2.86% move. A terminated vilobelimab Phase 3 PG study update on Dec 30, 2025 had a flat reaction. The January 2026 cost-cutting and refocus on izicopan led to a -9.17% drop, whereas routine conference participation news in late January produced only a mild 1.3% uptick.

About InflaRx
InflaRx (Nasdaq: IFRX) is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering anti-inflammatory therapeutics by applying its proprietary anti-C5a and anti-C5aR technologies to discover, develop and commercialize highly potent and specific inhibitors of the complement activation factor C5a and its receptor, C5aR. C5a is a powerful inflammatory mediator involved in the progression of a wide variety of inflammatory diseases. InflaRx‘s lead program is izicopan (INF904), an orally administered small molecule inhibitor of C5a-induced signaling via the C5a receptor, which has shown promising PK/PD characteristics as well as therapeutic potential in Phase 1 and Phase 2a clinical studies.

The Company has also developed vilobelimab, a novel, intravenously delivered, first-in-class, anti-C5a monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to free C5a and has demonstrated disease-modifying clinical activity and tolerability in multiple clinical studies.
