Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Dianthus Therapeutics reported a larger 2025 net loss while advancing its autoimmune pipeline and securing an early positive signal in its key CIDP program.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the company posted a net loss of $162.3 million, or $4.20 per share, driven mainly by higher research and development spending of $145.6 million and general and administrative expenses of $34.3 million. Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $514.4 million, which the company expects to fund operations into 2028.

Dianthus announced an early GO decision in its Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial of claseprubart in CIDP after achieving 20 confirmed responders with fewer than 40 participants completing Part A, with no related serious infections or serious adverse events reported. The company plans to streamline Part B to 128 randomized patients and expects Part B top-line guidance by year-end 2026. It also plans a Phase 3 trial in generalized myasthenia gravis starting mid-2026, a Phase 2 readout in multifocal motor neuropathy in the second half of 2026, and Phase 1 healthy volunteer data for DNTH212 in the second half of 2026.

Positive

  • Early GO decision in CAPTIVATE CIDP Phase 3 reached after 20 confirmed responders with fewer than 40 planned participants completing Part A, with no related serious infections, autoimmune symptoms, serious adverse events, or discontinuations reported.
  • Strong balance sheet and runway with $514.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2025, projected to fund operations into 2028 while multiple late‑stage and mid‑stage trials progress.
  • Multiple value-driving catalysts including a planned Phase 3 gMG trial initiation in mid‑2026, Phase 2 MMN top-line results in the second half of 2026, CAPTIVATE Part B guidance by year-end 2026, and Phase 1 DNTH212 data in the second half of 2026.

Negative

  • Significantly higher operating loss with 2025 net loss of $162.3 million versus $85.0 million in 2024, reflecting sharply increased R&D expenses of $145.6 million and G&A expenses of $34.3 million as the pipeline expands.

Insights

Early CIDP success and strong cash balance offset higher losses.

Dianthus Therapeutics combined a sizable 2025 loss with a strategically important clinical milestone. The early GO decision in the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE CIDP trial, based on 20 confirmed responders from fewer than 40 Part A completers and no related serious safety issues, de-risks this program compared with a typical mid‑trial review.

Financially, full‑year R&D of $145.6 million and G&A of $34.3 million pushed net loss to $162.3 million, nearly double the prior year as multiple trials advanced. However, the $514.4 million cash position, expected to last into 2028, provides substantial runway to complete CAPTIVATE, start a Phase 3 in gMG by mid‑2026, deliver Phase 2 MMN results in the second half of 2026, and generate Phase 1 data for DNTH212 in the same period.

The investment case now hinges on execution of these catalysts: maintaining favorable safety and efficacy signals in CAPTIVATE through Part B, initiating the gMG Phase 3 on the mid‑2026 timeline, and confirming DNTH212’s profile in the ongoing Phase 1 study, with key data and guidance clustered around late 2026 and beyond.

Investor conference call and webcast to be held to discuss the CAPTIVATE trial interim responder analysis today, March 9, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET

New York City and Waltham, Mass., March 9, 2026 – Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNTH), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing next-generation therapies to transform the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2025, announced a GO decision in the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial of claseprubart in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), and provided an update on other recent business achievements.

“It is truly exciting to be part of a company developing potential best-in-disease therapies for patients suffering from severe autoimmune diseases. I am very proud of the impressive level of execution the Dianthus team continues to deliver against our ambitious goals,” said Marino Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of Dianthus Therapeutics. “With claseprubart, we are building a leading neuromuscular franchise with a target product profile that aims to combine best-in-class efficacy and safety with the convenience of an infrequent, subcutaneous, self-administered autoinjector that has the potential to meaningfully shift the treatment paradigm and standard of care for more than 150,000 patients in the U.S. living with gMG, CIDP and MMN.”

Claseprubart (DNTH103) Clinical Development

Claseprubart is an investigational, clinical-stage, potent monoclonal antibody engineered to selectively target the classical pathway by inhibiting only the active form of the C1s protein, a clinically validated complement target. Claseprubart is designed to enable a more convenient, subcutaneous (S.C.), self-administered injection dosed as infrequently as once every two or four weeks. Claseprubart has the potential to be a best-in-class pipeline-in-a-product across a range of autoimmune disorders with high unmet need.

Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG)

Phase 3 trial expected to initiate mid-2026, with top-line results expected in 2H’28: Following the successful completion of our end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the first quarter of 2026, a Phase 3

 


 

registrational trial of claseprubart evaluating 300mg/2mL Q2W S.C. and 300mg/2mL Q4W S.C. in gMG patients is expected to initiate in mid-2026, with top-line results expected in 2H’28.
Claseprubart data presented at Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical and Scientific Conference, March 8-11, 2026: Three poster presentations describing claseprubart Phase 2 MaGic results and in vitro data are available on the Investors section of the Dianthus website under Scientific Publications.

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

Early GO decision announced in Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial: The target for the Part A interim responder analysis was a response rate of 50% or greater (i.e., ≥20 confirmed responders out of first 40 participants to complete Part A) based on precedent set with aC1s inhibition. This GO decision was reached early, after 20 confirmed responders were achieved with less than 40 planned participants completing open-label Part A of the trial. Dianthus expects to provide CAPTIVATE Part B top-line guidance by YE’26.

Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN)

Phase 2 MoMeNtum MMN trial remains on track for top-line results in 2H’26: The MoMeNtum trial is an ongoing global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in patients with MMN.

DNTH212 Clinical Development

DNTH212 is an investigational, extended half-life bifunctional fusion protein targeting plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) BDCA2 to reduce Type 1 interferon production, while simultaneously inhibiting BAFF/APRIL to suppress B cell function. By targeting both the innate and adaptive immune systems via two clinically validated pathways that are known drivers of autoimmune disease pathogenesis, this complementary and differentiated approach has the potential to address multiple autoimmune indications with improved outcomes.

Phase 1 data anticipated in 2H’26: A two-part Phase 1 study in China in healthy volunteers (Part A) and patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (Part B) was initiated in December 2025, with top-line results in healthy volunteers expected in 2H’26. An update on indication prioritization for DNTH212 is planned for 1H’26.

Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position – $514.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2025 is projected to provide runway into 2028.
R&D Expenses – Research and development (R&D) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $145.6 million, inclusive of $10.1 million of stock-based compensation, compared to $83.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which included $5.6 million of stock-based compensation. This increase in R&D expenses was primarily driven by higher clinical costs, upfront and clinical development milestones for DNTH212, and increased headcount to support claseprubart Phase 2 and Phase 3 development.
G&A Expenses – General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $34.3 million, inclusive of stock-based compensation of $12.7 million, compared to $25.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which included $7.3 million of stock-based compensation. This increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to increased headcount.
Net Loss – Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $162.3 million or $4.20 per share (basic and diluted) compared to $85.0 million or $2.55 per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Additional Information – For additional information on the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, please refer to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

About Claseprubart (DNTH103)
Claseprubart is an investigational, clinical-stage, potent monoclonal antibody engineered to selectively target the classical pathway by inhibiting only the active form of the C1s protein, a clinically validated complement target. Claseprubart is enhanced with YTE half-life extension technology designed to enable a more convenient subcutaneous, infrequently dosed, self-administered injection. Additionally, selective inhibition of the classical complement pathway may lower patient risk of infection from encapsulated bacteria by preserving immune activity of the lectin and alternative pathways. As the classical pathway plays a significant role in disease pathology, claseprubart has the potential to be a best-in-class pipeline-in-a-product across a range of autoimmune disorders with high unmet need. Dianthus is building a neuromuscular franchise with claseprubart and expects to initiate a Phase 3 trial in generalized Myasthenia Gravis in mid-2026, with top-line results expected in 2H’28, report top-line data from the Phase 2 MoMeNtum trial in Multifocal Motor Neuropathy in 2H’26, and provide an update on timing of top-line data from Part B of the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy by YE’26.

Claseprubart is an investigational agent that is not approved as a therapy in any indication in any jurisdiction worldwide.

About DNTH212

DIANTHUS THERAPEUTICS ANNOUNCES EARLY GO DECISION FOLLOWING INTERIM RESPONDER ANALYSIS IN PHASE 3 CAPTIVATE TRIAL OF CLASEPRUBART IN CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYNEUROPATHY (CIDP)

 

Early GO decision reached ahead of Q2’26 guidance based on GO criteria of 20 confirmed responders achieved with less than 40 planned participants completing open-label Part A

 

Key objectives achieved: Company will maintain the Part A dose of 300mg/2mL S.C. Q2W, plans to engage with regulators to remove the 600mg/4mL S.C. Q2W dose arm from Part B, and expects to enroll up to 256 patients in Part A to randomize 128 patients in Part B

 

Independent DSMB review confirmed GO decision; no related serious infections, no clinical symptoms of autoimmune activation, and no related serious adverse events or discontinuations

 

GO decision supports continued development of claseprubart 300mg/2mL Q2W S.C. in CIDP, targeting a potentially best-in-disease biologic profile across a broad population of CIDP patients, including those refractory to standard-of-care

 

Investor conference call and webcast to be held today, March 9, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET

 

New York City and Waltham, Mass., March 9, 2026 – Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNTH), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing next-generation therapies to transform the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases, today announced an early GO decision based on an interim responder analysis in the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial of claseprubart in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP).

“We are excited to announce an early GO decision based on results from less than 40 planned participants completing Part A of the CAPTIVATE Phase 3 trial. These interim responder analysis results, in addition to the robust Phase 2 data from our MaGic trial in generalized Myasthenia Gravis, bolster our confidence in the best-in-class target profile for claseprubart and its potential to become a best-in-disease, first-line biologic of choice across a range of large and growing neuromuscular indications,” said Marino Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of Dianthus. “Classical pathway inhibition could replace the standard of care in the multi-billion-dollar CIDP market with the potential for improved efficacy, differentiated safety, and lower patient burden. We expect our planned study design changes to streamline the CAPTIVATE trial and support even faster execution.”

 

Interim Responder Analysis Results Summary

The target for the Part A interim responder analysis was a response rate of 50% or greater (i.e., ≥20 confirmed responders out of first 40 participants to complete Part A) based on precedent set with aC1s inhibition.
This GO decision was reached early, after 20 confirmed responders were achieved with less than 40 planned participants completing Part A of the trial.
There have been no related serious infections, no clinical symptoms of autoimmune activation, no related serious adverse events or discontinuations.

 


 

 

The GO decision was confirmed by an independent DSMB review.

 

Next Steps: Planned CAPTIVATE Trial Design Updates

Dianthus anticipates the following:

Maintain the claseprubart 300mg/2mL S.C. Q2W dose in Part A;
Engage with regulators to remove the claseprubart 600mg/4mL S.C. Q2W arm from Part B;
Enroll up to 256 patients (previously up to 480) in Part A to randomize 128 patients in Part B (previously 192); and
Provide CAPTIVATE Part B top-line guidance by the end of 2026.

 

“As a neurologist who specialized in and treated many patients with neuromuscular diseases including CIDP, it is encouraging to see consistency across multiple clinically meaningful measures including INCAT, MRC-SS, Grip Strength, and IRODS in Part A of the CAPTIVATE study,” said James K. Sheffield, MD, Vice President and Head of CIDP Development of Dianthus. “These initial findings motivate the CIDP team to get to primary results as soon as possible.”

 

About CAPTIVATE

CAPTIVATE is a single, two-part, randomized withdrawal Phase 3 trial of claseprubart in CIDP. In open-label Part A of this trial, participants are administered a loading dose followed by 300mg claseprubart administered every 2 weeks (Q2W) via subcutaneous (S.C.) injection for up to 13 weeks. Part A included an interim responder analysis of a pre-defined number of participants. The primary endpoint in Part A is response as measured as ≥1 point decrease (improvement) in adjusted INCAT score compared to Part A baseline. Only participants who respond to claseprubart in Part A will be randomized into Part B, a double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period of up to 52 weeks, where they will be assessed for prevention of relapse, safety and tolerability, followed by an open-label extension period. The primary endpoint in Part B is efficacy (time to relapse) as measured as ≥1 point increase in adjusted INCAT. The Company believes this single pivotal trial will support Biologics License Application filing in adult patients with CIDP and expects to provide CAPTIVATE Part B top-line guidance by the end of 2026.

 

CAPTIVATE Investor Conference Call & Webcast to be Held at 8:00 a.m. ET Today

Dianthus Therapeutics will host an investor call and webcast to discuss the CAPTIVATE trial interim responder analysis today, March 9, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET.

About Claseprubart (DNTH103)
Claseprubart is an investigational, clinical-stage, potent monoclonal antibody engineered to selectively target the classical pathway by inhibiting only the active form of the C1s protein, a clinically validated complement target. Claseprubart is enhanced with YTE half-life extension technology designed to enable a more convenient subcutaneous, infrequently dosed, self-administered injection. Additionally, selective inhibition of the classical complement pathway may lower patient risk of infection from encapsulated bacteria by preserving immune activity of the lectin and alternative pathways. As the classical pathway plays a significant role in disease pathology, claseprubart has the potential to be a best-in-class pipeline-in-a-product across a range of

autoimmune disorders with high unmet need. Dianthus is building a neuromuscular franchise with claseprubart and expects to initiate a Phase 3 trial in generalized Myasthenia Gravis in mid-2026, with top-line results expected in the second half of 2028, report top-line data from the Phase 2 MoMeNtum trial in Multifocal Motor Neuropathy in the second half of 2026, and provide an update on timing of top-line data from Part B of the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy by the end of 2026.

 

Claseprubart is an investigational agent that is not approved as a therapy in any indication in any jurisdiction worldwide.

 

About CIDP

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disorder affecting the myelin that insulates and protects peripheral nerves. CIDP is estimated to affect more than 40,000 people in the United States. Common symptoms of the disease include weakness, loss of balance, and sensation changes in the arms or legs. In the classic or typical CIDP, there is symmetric involvement of both upper and lower limbs, characterized by weakness in the proximal (for example, shoulder region or hip region) as well as distal (for example, wrist or ankle) muscle groups. In addition, there is sensory involvement. There are several atypical forms of CIDP, characterized by varying levels of motor and sensory involvement with overlap. CIDP follows a relapsing-remitting or a progressive clinical course, which can result in substantial disability, loss of motor and sensory function, and negative impact on quality of life.

Q&A Early GO Decision in CAPTIVATE CIDP Trial March 9, 2026

FAQ

How did Dianthus Therapeutics (DNTH) perform financially in 2025?

Dianthus reported a larger net loss of $162.3 million, or $4.20 per share, for 2025. The increase was mainly driven by higher research and development spending of $145.6 million and general and administrative expenses of $34.3 million as multiple clinical programs advanced.

What is the significance of the early GO decision in Dianthus Therapeutics' CAPTIVATE CIDP trial?

The early GO decision in CAPTIVATE was triggered when 20 confirmed responders were achieved with fewer than 40 Part A completers. This met the predefined 50% response target and allowed the company to proceed while maintaining the 300mg/2mL Q2W dose and simplifying Part B enrollment.

How much cash does Dianthus Therapeutics (DNTH) have, and how long will it last?

Dianthus ended 2025 with $514.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments. The company projects this capital will provide operating runway into 2028, supporting the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE CIDP trial, a Phase 3 gMG study, the MMN Phase 2 trial, and DNTH212 development.

What are the key upcoming clinical milestones for claseprubart at Dianthus Therapeutics?

For claseprubart, Dianthus expects to initiate a Phase 3 trial in generalized myasthenia gravis in mid‑2026 with top‑line results anticipated in the second half of 2028, and to provide CAPTIVATE Part B CIDP top-line guidance by the end of 2026.

What progress has Dianthus Therapeutics made with DNTH212?

DNTH212 is in an ongoing two‑part Phase 1 study in China, covering healthy volunteers and systemic lupus erythematosus patients. The company anticipates top‑line Phase 1 healthy volunteer data in the second half of 2026 and plans an indication prioritization update in the first half of 2026.

How did Dianthus Therapeutics' R&D and G&A expenses change in 2025?

Research and development expenses rose to $145.6 million in 2025 from $83.1 million in 2024, reflecting higher clinical and headcount costs. General and administrative expenses increased to $34.3 million from $25.0 million, mainly due to additional staffing and corporate growth.
