Current report
We are a clinical-stage immunology company pursuing a broad anti-FcRn strategy based on the potential best-in-class profile of our lead asset, IMVT-1402, and informed by the breadth of the class, in which 23 indications have been publicly announced for study by multiple companies to date. We expect to initiate programs evaluating IMVT-1402 in several therapeutic areas, including endocrinology and neurology. To address the unmet needs of people with autoantibody-driven diseases, we are committed to initiating a broad set of late-stage programs for IMVT-1402, including first-in-class indications such as Graves’ disease (“GD”), classic autoantibody indications such as myasthenia gravis (“MG”), and other indications with positive in-class data such as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”). We expect to leverage disease state insights, clinical trial data observed to date within the anti-FcRn class, and operational experience from past and ongoing batoclimab studies and trials to inform and accelerate the development of IMVT-1402.
Current report
The physiologic function of FcRn is to prevent the degradation of immunoglobulin G (“IgG”) antibodies. High levels of pathogenic IgG antibodies drive a variety of autoimmune diseases. Inhibition of FcRn, such as through the use of an anti-FcRn antibody, has been shown to reduce levels of total IgG and pathogenic IgG antibodies. We believe our completed clinical trials and other clinical trials assessing anti-FcRn antibodies in IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases have generated promising results, suggesting that FcRn is a therapeutically important and validated pharmacologic target to reduce levels of disease-causing IgG antibodies. Thus, we are developing IMVT-1402 and batoclimab in autoimmune diseases for which there is robust evidence that pathogenic IgG antibodies drive disease manifestation and for which we believe that reduction of IgG antibodies should lead to clinical benefit.
Current report
This Phase 1 clinical trial is ongoing. Based on trial results announced to date and the strength of its potential best-in-class profile, we plan to pursue studies with IMVT-1402 in endocrinology, neurology and other therapeutic areas, with a focus on indications representing first-in-class opportunities, classic autoantibody diseases, and diseases where IgG autoantibodies are believed to play a role. In selecting indications for development, we plan to leverage data from our batoclimab development program and also take advantage of publicly disclosed in-class competitor data, which can be used to establish proof-of-concept as well as provide insights into potentially more informative study designs.
Current report
We expect to announce an overview of our development program for IMVT-1402 in GD in the fall of calendar year 2024, supported by additional data from the batoclimab proof-of-concept study in GD that will be disclosed at the same time.
Current report
We may transition our registrational development program for CIDP from batoclimab to IMVT-1402 and the pivotal study with IMVT-1402 in CIDP may be optimized based on unblinded batoclimab CIDP data available by March 31, 2025. We may also transition our registrational development programs for MG and thyroid eye disease (“TED”) from batoclimab to IMVT-1402, with a final decision for these programs contingent on top-line data from the batoclimab studies in these indications. We expect to report top-line data from the batoclimab MG study by March 31, 2025 with potential registrational development for MG expected to transition from batoclimab to IMVT-1402 in the same timeframe. A decision regarding which asset to advance to registration in TED will be made in the first half of calendar year 2025 together with disclosing top-line data from the current batoclimab TED program.
Current report
Endocrine Diseases
Current report
In the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we initiated a proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial in GD in Germany. This Phase 2 clinical trial is ongoing, with additional data, as well as an overview of our development program for IMVT-1402 in GD, expected to be announced in the fall of calendar year 2024.
Current report
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we initiated our Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate batoclimab as a treatment for TED. We expect top-line results to be available in the first half of calendar year 2025, along with a decision on whether to advance batoclimab to registration in TED or pursue IMVT-1402 in this indication.
Current report
Neurological Diseases
Current report
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we initiated a pivotal Phase 2b trial of batoclimab as a treatment for CIDP. To better ensure that we can optimize the level of disease activity and patient population for an IMVT-1402 clinical trial, we have decided to continue to enroll the batoclimab CIDP trial approximately two quarters longer prior to unblinding period 1 of this trial. We believe this will better ensure that the data from the batoclimab trial, combined with learning from the other CIDP trials, can be used to optimize the IMVT-1402 trial design in active CIDP by March 31, 2025.
Current report
In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we initiated our phase 3 pivotal trial of batoclimab as a treatment for MG. Enrollment in this pivotal trial has now completed and we expect top-line data to be available by March 31, 2025. Further potential registrational development with IMVT-1402 is expected to begin in the same timeframe, with a final decision to be made based on results from the current batoclimab trial.
Current report
For a description of our transactions under the Product Service Agreement and Master Services Agreement with Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd., refer to “Note 3 – Material Agreements” and “Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies” in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, research and development expenses increased $24.9 million as compared with the prior-year period.
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, therapeutic area-specific research and development costs, including contract manufacturing costs for drug substance, increased $14.8 million as compared with the prior-year period. Research and development costs related to neurological diseases, which include MG and CIDP, increased $7.2 million. This increase was primarily due to activities in preparation for potential future clinical trials of IMVT-1402 in neurological diseases and higher overall clinical trial costs related to our batoclimab Phase 3 clinical trial. Research and development costs related to endocrine diseases, which include TED and GD, increased $9.6 million. This increase was primarily due to higher overall clinical trial costs related to our batoclimab Phase 3 clinical program and activities in preparation for potential future clinical trials of IMVT-1402 in endocrine diseases. Research and development costs related to other clinical and nonclinical activities decreased $2.0 million, reflecting lower overall costs related to our IMVT-1402 Phase 1 trial and nonclinical studies, partially offset by higher overall costs in preparation for future IMVT-1402 clinical programs.
Current report
Interest Income
Current report
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest income increased $3.1 million as compared with the prior-year period, primarily reflecting interest earned on higher money market fund balances as a result of proceeds from our October 2023 underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement.
Removed paragraphs (36)
Previous report
Accordingly, we plan to initiate four to five potentially registrational programs for IMVT-1402 by the end of fiscal year 2025 (by March 31, 2025). We plan to initiate trials of IMVT-1402 in ten indications by the end of fiscal year 2026 (by March 31, 2026), which includes the four to five programs beginning in fiscal year 2025.
Previous report
To the extent we choose to develop batoclimab and IMVT-1402 as potential treatments for certain of these and other rare diseases, we plan to seek orphan drug designations in the U.S. and Europe, where applicable. Such designations would primarily provide financial and exclusivity incentives intended to make the development of orphan drugs financially viable. Batoclimab received orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the European Commission for the treatment of MG. We plan to seek orphan drug designations in the U.S. and Europe for batoclimab and/or IMVT-1402 in other indications where there is a medically plausible basis for batoclimab and/or IMVT-1402’s use.
Previous report
In the single-ascending dose portion of the study, IMVT-1402 subcutaneously administered as one or two 2mL injections at a concentration of 150 mg/mL demonstrated a consistent reduction in IgG with potency that was similar to that of batoclimab as observed in our original Phase 1 trial of batoclimab. No or minimal reductions in albumin and no or minimal increases in LDL cholesterol levels were observed in healthy adults administered IMVT-1402 in the single-ascending dose portion of the study, with changes consistent with those participants receiving placebo.
Previous report
We also announced initial multiple-ascending dose (“MAD”) results for the 300 mg cohort. After four weekly 300 mg subcutaneous doses of IMVT-1402, we observed a statistically significant reduction of 63% from baseline in mean total IgG levels, with no or minimal reductions in albumin and no or minimal increases in LDL cholesterol levels observed, with changes consistent with those participants receiving placebo.
Previous report
In the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we announced initial MAD results from the cohort of participants receiving a weekly subcutaneous dose of 600 mg IMVT-1402 administered as two 2mL injections at a concentration of 150 mg/mL. After four weekly subcutaneous doses of IMVT-1402, we observed a statistically significant reduction of 74% from baseline in mean total IgG levels, similar to the 76% reduction in mean total IgG levels observed in batoclimab’s Phase 1 study after four weekly doses of 680 mg given subcutaneously. After four weekly subcutaneous doses of 600 mg IMVT-1402, no or minimal reductions in albumin and no or minimal increases in LDL cholesterol levels were observed, with changes consistent with those participants receiving placebo.
Previous report
Across all doses evaluated, treatments with IMVT-1402 were generally well tolerated, with only mild or moderate treatment-emergent adverse events observed.
Previous report
In the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we initiated a proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial in GD in Germany and in the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we announced initial results from this trial. Consistent with studies of batoclimab in other indications, subcutaneous doses of 680 mg administered in the initial cohort demonstrated potential best-in-class IgG reduction, up to 87%, with a mean IgG reduction of 81% after 12 weeks of treatment. The 340 mg IgG reductions were lower.
Previous report
Similar to changes in IgG levels, deeper reductions in anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor autoantibodies were also observed following treatment with subcutaneous doses of 680 mg of batoclimab as compared to subcutaneous doses of 340 mg of batoclimab. In addition, across a range of clinical parameters, numerically higher responses were observed following treatment with 680 mg of batoclimab as compared to treatment with 340 mg of batoclimab. These parameters included the percentage of patients whose antithyroid drug (“ATD”) dose was reduced and the percentage of patients whose ATD was discontinued. Batoclimab was generally well tolerated with no new safety signals observed in the initial data set. This Phase 2 clinical trial is ongoing.
Previous report
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we initiated a pivotal Phase 2b trial of batoclimab as a treatment for CIDP. We expect initial data from the open-label period of this trial (where one of two blinded doses of batoclimab are delivered) to be available in the second or in the third quarter of calendar year 2024. In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, we initiated our Phase 3 pivotal trial of batoclimab as a treatment for MG, and in the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we initiated our Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate batoclimab as a treatment for TED. Both trials are progressing and on track for expected top-line data in the second half of calendar year 2024 for MG, and the first half of calendar year 2025 for TED.

Intellectual property created by HanAll pursuant to this research program will be included in our license; intellectual property created by us pursuant to this research program will be included in HanAll’s license. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, we did not have any additional amounts payable to HanAll for research and development costs incurred and reported to us pursuant to the HanAll Agreement.
Previous report
During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we achieved our third and fourth development and regulatory milestones under the HanAll Agreement of $12.5 million, combined, which were recorded as acquired in-process research and development expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. We will be responsible for future contingent payments and royalties, including up to an aggregate of $420.0 million (after an aggregate amount of $32.5 million of milestone achievements as of December 31, 2023) upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales milestone events. We are also obligated to pay HanAll tiered royalties ranging from the mid-single digits to mid-teens percentage of net sales of licensed products, subject to standard offsets and reductions as set forth in the HanAll Agreement. These royalty obligations apply on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis and end upon the latest of: (A) the date on which the last valid claim of the licensed patents expire, (B) the date on which the data or market exclusivity expires or (C) 11 years after the first commercial sale of the licensed product, in each case, with respect to a given product in a given country.
Previous report
On November 17, 2021, Immunovant, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, ISG, entered into a Product Service Agreement (“PSA”) with Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. (“Samsung”), pursuant to which Samsung will manufacture and supply us with batoclimab drug substance for commercial sale, if approved, and perform other manufacturing-related services with respect to batoclimab. We previously entered in a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Samsung, dated April 30, 2021, which governs certain terms of our relationship with Samsung. Upon execution of the PSA, we committed to purchase process performance qualification batches of batoclimab and pre-approval inspection batches of batoclimab which may be used for regulatory submissions and, pending regulatory approval, commercial sale.
Previous report
The PSA will continue until the later of December 31, 2029 or the completion of the services thereunder, unless the PSA is terminated earlier. Either party may terminate the PSA on account of (i) the other party’s material breach of the PSA that is not cured within a specified period after the termination notice, (ii) the other party’s insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) certain force majeure events. The remaining minimum purchase commitment related to this agreement was estimated to be approximately $18.3 million as of December 31, 2023. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded $0.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of research and development expenses related to the PSA and made cash payments of $15.0 million related to the PSA during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
Previous report
We had the right to terminate the PSA with 30 days’ written notice to Samsung, exercisable no later than January 2024, in the event we decided to stop all development of, and all attempts to obtain regulatory approval for, batoclimab; subject to payment to Samsung of non-cancellable service fees and costs incurred by Samsung for all batches of batoclimab scheduled to be manufactured during the two-year period following such termination. Because efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approval for batoclimab remain ongoing, we did not exercise that early termination right and it has lapsed. As a result, we have an additional minimum obligation to Samsung of approximately $28.0 million to purchase additional batches of batoclimab in the four-year period of 2026 through 2029.
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased by $6.1 million, from $42.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 to $48.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Previous report
Batoclimab program-specific research and development costs, including contract manufacturing costs for drug substance process performance qualification activities, decreased by $3.1 million, from $22.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 to $19.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Program costs related to neurological diseases increased $0.5 million, primarily reflecting higher overall Phase 3 and Phase 2b clinical trial costs. Program costs related to endocrine diseases decreased $3.5 million, primarily reflecting higher costs in the prior-year period due to the initiation of our Phase 3 clinical program.
Previous report
For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $5.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of research and development costs related to the development of IMVT-1402, which includes costs for our Phase 1 clinical trial, contract manufacturing and pre-clinical studies.

Research and Development Expenses for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
Previous report
Research and development expenses increased by $38.5 million, from $108.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $146.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.
Previous report
Batoclimab program-specific research and development costs, including contract manufacturing costs for drug substance process performance qualification activities, increased by $2.7 million, from $48.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $50.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. Program costs related to neurological diseases decreased $1.8 million, primarily reflecting higher overall clinical trial costs in the prior-year period that included upfront and start-up costs for our Phase 3 and Phase 2b clinical trials. Program costs related to endocrine diseases increased $4.4 million, primarily reflecting higher clinical trial costs, due in part to the initiation of our proof-of-concept Phase 2 clinical trial.
Previous report
For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $29.6 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of research and development costs related to the development of IMVT-1402, which includes costs for our Phase 1 clinical trial, contract manufacturing and pre-clinical studies.
Previous report
Unallocated research and development costs increased by $13.2 million, from $53.2 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $66.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This increase reflected higher personnel-related expenses of $15.7 million, primarily reflecting higher headcount and enhancement of our capabilities to support our strategic objectives as we progress our clinical activities in existing and new indications. Partially offsetting this increase were lower costs related to cross-indication research and development activities supporting batoclimab and IMVT-1402 programs of $2.4 million, primarily reflecting our shift to project-related activities to advance the clinical development of batoclimab, including our clinical trials in MG, TED, CIDP and GD, and IMVT-1402.

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.9 million, from $35.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 to $42.5 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily related to higher personnel-related expenses, market research costs and information technology costs, partially offset by lower legal and other professional fees.
Previous report
In October 2023, we completed an underwritten public offering of 8,475,500 shares of our common stock (including 1,526,316 shares of common stock purchased by RSL on the same terms as other investors in the offering and the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 1,105,500 additional shares of common stock) at a price to the public of $38.00 per share. Concurrent with the public offering, RSL purchased 4,473,684 shares of our common stock in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the same price per share as investors in the public offering. The net proceeds to us were approximately $466.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, placement agent fees and offering expenses.
Previous report
Because we did not exercise an early termination right prior to its expiration in January 2024, we have an additional minimum obligation to Samsung of approximately $28.0 million to purchase additional batches of batoclimab in the four-year period of 2026 through 2029.

Reworded paragraphs (37)
Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases. Our innovative product pipeline includes batoclimab, formerly referred to as IMVT-1401, and IMVT-1402, both of which are novel, fully human monoclonal antibodies that target the neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (“FcRn”). Batoclimab and IMVT-1402 are the result of a multi-step, multi-year research program conducted by us and HanAll Biopharma Co., Ltd., (“HanAll”) to design highly potent anti-FcRn antibodies that may be optimized as a simple, subcutaneous injection with dosing that we believe can be tailored based on disease severity and stage.
Current wording
Our innovative product pipeline includes IMVT-1402 and batoclimab, formerly referred to as IMVT-1401, both of which are novel, fully human monoclonal antibodies that target the neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (“FcRn”). Our product candidates are the result of a multi-step, multi-year research program conducted in collaboration with HanAll Biopharma Co., Ltd., (“HanAll”) to design highly potent anti-FcRn antibodies that may be optimized as a simple, subcutaneous injection with dosing that we believe can be tailored based on disease stage and severity.
Previous wording
Batoclimab, our first product candidate, has been dosed in small volumes (e.g., 2 mL) and with a 27-gauge needle, while still generating therapeutically relevant pharmacodynamic activity, important attributes that we believe will drive patient preference and market adoption. In nonclinical studies and in clinical trials conducted to date, batoclimab has been observed to reduce immunoglobulin G (“IgG”) antibody levels. High levels of pathogenic IgG antibodies drive a variety of autoimmune diseases and, as a result, we believe batoclimab has the potential for broad application in these disease areas.
Current wording
Batoclimab, our initial product candidate, is dosed subcutaneously using a small gauge needle in small volumes (e.g., 2 mL), and has generated therapeutically relevant pharmacodynamic activity. We believe these attributes will drive patient preference and market adoption. In clinical trials conducted to date, batoclimab has been observed to reduce IgG antibody levels, which has provided evidence supporting the use of an anti-FcRn antibody in disease areas associated with high levels of pathogenic IgG antibodies.
Previous wording
Likewise, IMVT-1402, our second product candidate, has also been observed in nonclinical studies and in a Phase 1 clinical trial conducted in healthy participants to reduce IgG antibody levels. Importantly, IMVT-1402 has demonstrated no or minimal reductions in albumin and no or minimal increases in low-density lipoprotein (“LDL”) cholesterol levels in healthy adults after four weekly doses of 300 mg and 600 mg, with changes consistent with those participants receiving placebo. This is a key attribute for IMVT-1402, which we believe could potentially allow its use as a treatment of chronic conditions requiring maintenance doses that achieve high degrees of IgG suppression. We are developing batoclimab and IMVT-1402 in autoimmune diseases for which there is robust evidence that pathogenic IgG antibodies drive disease manifestation and for which reduction of IgG antibodies should lead to clinical benefit.
Current wording
Likewise, IMVT-1402, our lead product candidate, has also been observed to reduce IgG antibody levels in a Phase 1 clinical trial conducted in healthy adults, similar to that observed in our original Phase 1 clinical trial of batoclimab. Importantly, although FcRn also plays a role in maintaining serum albumin levels which in turn correlate inversely with low-density lipoprotein (“LDL”) cholesterol levels, no or minimal reduction in albumin and no or minimal increases in LDL cholesterol levels were observed in study participants administered either 300 mg or 600 mg of IMVT-1402 subcutaneously once weekly for four weeks. Across both dose regimens, the changes in albumin and LDL cholesterol were similar to those observed with placebo administration. This is a key attribute for IMVT-1402, which we believe could potentially allow its use as a treatment of chronic conditions requiring maintenance doses that achieve high degrees of IgG suppression.
Previous wording
Based on third-party patient prevalence estimates, for the 22 indications that have been announced by multiple companies for clinical development with anti-FcRn assets, we estimate the total potential opportunity for our FcRn franchise to be greater than two million patients in the U.S. and Europe (includes all European Union (“E.U.”) countries, Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland, (together with the E.U. countries, the “EEA”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and Switzerland). Our long-term goal is to build a leading anti-FcRn franchise that targets multiple underserved autoimmune disease indications across a variety of therapeutic areas. Our current research and development programs under which batoclimab is currently being evaluated are organized around specific therapeutic areas: treatment of neurological diseases, inclusive of myasthenia gravis (“MG”) and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (“CIDP”), and treatment of endocrine diseases, inclusive of thyroid eye disease (“TED”) and Graves’ disease (“GD”).
Current wording
We believe that FcRn inhibition has broad therapeutic and commercial potential to address IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases in a number of therapeutic areas, including but not limited to, neurology, endocrinology, hematology, rheumatology, and dermatology. Based on third-party patient prevalence estimates, for the 23 indications that have been publicly announced by multiple companies for clinical development with anti-FcRn assets, we estimate the total potential opportunity for our FcRn franchise to be greater than two million patients in the U.S. and Europe. Our estimates in Europe include all European Union (“E.U.”) countries, Norway, Lichtenstein, Iceland, (together with the E.U. countries, the “EEA”), the United Kingdom (“U.K.”), and Switzerland.
Previous wording
Likewise, we believe IMVT-1402 has the potential to treat a class-leading portfolio of indications in several therapeutic areas.
Current wording
Our goal is to fully optimize the IMVT-1402 clinical development program consistent with its potential best-in-class profile. Our strategic priority is to build a class-leading portfolio of indications in several therapeutic areas by leveraging data derived from studies with batoclimab and from studies with other FcRn inhibitors, both approved and in development. Following a recently completed Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), we are on track to initiate four to five potentially registrational programs for IMVT-1402 in several therapeutic areas, including endocrinology and neurology, by March 31, 2025. In support of this goal, we plan to have three Initial New Drug (“IND”) applications for IMVT-1402 activated by the end of calendar year 2024. Inclusive of these programs, by March 31, 2026, we plan to have initiated clinical trials of IMVT-1402 in a total of ten indications. The current development program for batoclimab remains important, in particular for accelerating and optimizing the registrational development program of IMVT-1402. In addition, we expect to achieve financial efficiencies in our IMVT-1402 development program by taking advantage of batoclimab data and by applying learning from publicly disclosed in-class competitor data and trial designs.

Unfavorable conditions in the economy in the U.S., Canada and abroad may negatively affect the growth of our business and our results of operations. For example, macroeconomic events, including the post-COVID-19 environment, changes in inflation, the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates, potential recession in the U.S., recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures and the Russia-Ukraine war and conflict in the Middle East, have led to economic uncertainty globally. The effect of macroeconomic conditions may not be fully reflected in our results of operations until future periods. If, however, economic uncertainty increases or the global economy worsens, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be harmed.
