Roivant Sciences Stock Price, News & Analysis

Immunovant (IMVT) has announced positive results from two key clinical studies. The Phase 3 study of batoclimab in Myasthenia Gravis (MG) met its primary endpoint, showing significant improvements in MG-ADL scores: a 5.6-point improvement in the higher dose arm (74% IgG reduction) and a 4.7-point improvement in the lower dose arm (64% IgG reduction).

The initial results from Period 1 of the Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) Phase 2b study demonstrated an average improvement of 1.8 in adjusted INCAT disability scores across batoclimab arms. Notably, an 84% responder rate was observed in patients achieving over 70% IgG reduction.

Both studies confirmed that deeper IgG reductions correlated with better clinical outcomes. The company plans to initiate pivotal studies for their lead asset IMVT-1402 in both MG and CIDP indications.

Kinevant Sciences announced that its Phase 2 RESOLVE-Lung study of namilumab failed to demonstrate treatment benefits in patients with chronic active pulmonary sarcoidosis. The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of namilumab, an investigational anti-GM-CSF monoclonal antibody administered monthly via subcutaneous injection. The treatment failed to meet both its primary endpoint regarding Rescue Events and secondary endpoints, including changes in forced vital capacity, corticosteroid tapering success, and patient-reported outcomes. Following these results, Kinevant will discontinue further development of namilumab for sarcoidosis treatment but commits to publishing the study results to support future research.

Roivant Sciences announced that its Phase 2 RESOLVE-Lung study of namilumab in chronic active pulmonary sarcoidosis failed to meet its primary and secondary endpoints.

The primary endpoint measuring the proportion of subjects with a Rescue Event during the double-blind period was not met. Secondary endpoints, including changes in forced vital capacity, corticosteroid tapering success, and patient-reported outcomes, also showed no treatment benefit. As a result, Kinevant Sciences will discontinue further development of namilumab for sarcoidosis treatment.
