Previous wording
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 rheumatology, 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”) and rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”). 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.

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.

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.

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. We are on track to initiate four to five potentially registrational programs for IMVT-1402 in several therapeutic areas, including rheumatology, endocrinology and neurology, by March 31, 2025, and exceeded the goal of having three Initial New Drug (“IND”) applications for IMVT-1402 cleared by the end of calendar year 2024, with five IND applications now active for IMVT-1402. 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.

Our strategic priority is to build a class-leading portfolio of indications in several therapeutic areas by leveraging data and learning derived from studies with batoclimab and from studies with other FcRn inhibitors, both approved and in development. Currently, a total of six investigational new drug (“IND”) applications are active for IMVT-1402. We have initiated potentially registrational trials for IMVT-1402 in GD and difficult-to-treat RA (“D2T RA”). We expect to have initiated studies evaluating IMVT-1402 in a total of four to five indications by March 31, 2025. Inclusive of these programs, by March 31, 2026, we plan to have initiated clinical trials of IMVT-1402 in a total of ten indications. Studies evaluating IMVT-1402 are expected to be conducted using the intended commercial drug formulation and delivery device, the YpsoMate® autoinjector developed by Ypsomed AG, which is utilized by multiple approved products.
Previous wording
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 rheumatology, 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.

Previous wording
Data from our Phase 2 proof of concept trial evaluating batoclimab in GD demonstrate the potential of FcRn inhibition for the treatment of GD by modifying the underlying disease pathology, which is driven by thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor autoantibodies (“TRAb”). In addition, the data represent strong evidence that deeper IgG reduction correlates with better clinical outcomes in GD.
Current wording
Data from our Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial evaluating batoclimab in GD demonstrate the potential of FcRn inhibition for the treatment of GD by modifying the underlying disease pathology, which is driven by thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor autoantibodies (“TRAb”). In addition, the data represent strong evidence that deeper IgG reduction correlates with better clinical outcomes in GD for patients whose disease remains uncontrolled on anti-thyroid drugs (“ATDs”).
Previous wording
The treatment of GD has seen minimal innovation in treatment options over the past 70-plus years. Anti-thyroid drugs (“ATDs”), as the only existing pharmacological therapy, do not address the underlying disease pathology characterized by high levels of TRAb. A conservative analysis of Inovalon claims data estimates that the prevalence and incidence of GD patients is approximately 880,000 and 65,000 in the U.S. Further, market-sizing analyses by various methods suggest that 25-30% of GD patients are relapsed, uncontrolled on or intolerant to ATDs, representing a potentially significant unmet medical need.

Previous wording
In September 2024 we announced receipt of IND clearance from the FDA for IMVT-1402 in GD. Leveraging the data from the batoclimab proof-of-concept trial, we expect to initiate a pivotal trial by December 31, 2024 to evaluate IMVT-1402 in Graves’ patients who are hyperthyroid despite treatment with ATDs.
Current wording
Having received FDA clearance of the IND for IMVT-1402 in GD and leveraging data from the batoclimab proof-of-concept trial, we initiated a potentially registrational trial evaluating IMVT-1402 in adults with GD.
Previous wording
The IMVT-1402 pivotal study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, 52-week trial in Graves’ disease patients who are hyperthyroid (as evidenced by TRAb levels) despite treatment with an ATD for 12 or more weeks prior to beginning the study. The study will enroll approximately 240 participants randomized (1:1:1) to one of two blinded treatment groups each receiving IMVT-1402, 600 mg weekly by subcutaneous injection (“SC”), or a matched placebo group. Participants will be evaluated over two consecutive 26-week blinded treatment periods. Over the course of the treatment periods, background ATD treatment will be titrated to the lowest effective dose, including elimination of ATD treatment, to maintain normal thyroid lab values. Following the initial 26-week period, participants in the group 2 IMVT-1402 treatment group will be assigned to either continued treatment with IMVT-1402 at the same dose or matching placebo for the second 26-week study period based on the participant’s TRAb value and euthyroid status determined at week 26. The study’s primary endpoint will evaluate the proportion of participants who are euthyroid and off ATD at study week 26. A key secondary endpoint will measure the proportion of participants who become euthyroid and stop ATD treatment at week 52.

Previous wording
Having received FDA clearance of the IND for IMVT-1402 in RA, we plan to initiate a potentially registrational trial evaluating our lead asset IMVT-1402 in D2T RA by March 31, 2025. The trial is expected to build on in-class learning in terms of its target population (enriched for above-normal ACPA levels) and study design (open-label lead-in followed by randomized withdrawal). The trial is expected to enroll approximately 120 participants into an initial 16-week open-label, active treatment period, followed by a blinded, randomized withdrawal period of 12 weeks. To ensure the enrollment of patients with active D2T RA, the trial inclusion criteria require elevated ACPA levels and prior inadequate response to 2 or 3 (but no more than 3) biologic or target synthetic DMARDs. The study will leverage IMVT-1402’s higher dose (600 mg) during the open-label induction phase of the trial with the intent of maximizing reduction in ACPA levels. For participants achieving a response at weeks 14 and 16 per the American College of Rheumatology (“ACR”) response criteria ACR20, the primary endpoint will assess the proportion of such participants who maintain the ACR20 response at week 28.
Current wording
Having received FDA clearance of the IND for IMVT-1402 in RA, we initiated a potentially registrational trial evaluating IMVT-1402 in ACPA-positive D2T RA. This Phase 2b trial (NCT06754462) is expected to enroll approximately 120 participants into an initial 16-week open-label, active treatment period. To ensure the enrollment of patients with active D2T RA, the trial inclusion criteria require elevated ACPA levels and prior inadequate response to 2 or 3 (but no more than 3) biologic or targeted synthetic DMARDs. The study will evaluate IMVT-1402’s higher dose (600 mg) during the open-label induction phase of the trial with the intent of maximizing reduction in ACPA levels. Participants achieving a response at weeks 14 and 16 per the American College of Rheumatology (“ACR”) response criteria ACR20 will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive blinded treatment with either IMVT-1402 600 mg, IMVT-1402 300 mg, or placebo, weekly SC, for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint will assess the proportion of such participants who maintain the ACR20 response at week 28. Eligible participants who complete week 28 will have the option to receive IMVT-1402 for an additional period of 48 weeks as part of a long-term extension period.

In November 2024, additional incremental data observed in the study for certain thyroidal and extrathyroidal manifestations of GD were presented at the American Thyroid Association 2024 Annual Meeting. These data show that a 60% response rate was achieved by week 2, demonstrating the rapidity of response to batoclimab 680 mg dosed weekly. Meaningful improvements in proptosis and lid aperture were also observed at both week 12 and week 24. Pronounced improvements in multiple Thyroid-Related Patient-Reported Outcomes (ThyPRO-39) measurement scales were also observed, with ATD-Free Responders reporting greater improvements than other participants. This clinical trial is ongoing.

Previous wording
In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we initiated our Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate batoclimab as a treatment for TED. Over the course of the program to date, we observed increasing competition for patients with TED to participate in clinical trials. We completed a robust review of the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our Phase 3 batoclimab clinical trials in TED to determine if modifications could be made to improve patient enrollment without a resulting negative impact to the potential clinical trial results. In conjunction with input from key opinion leaders, we determined that no such modifications should be made, and we are therefore continuing enrollment in the study with the inclusion and exclusion criteria as originally designed to maximize effect size on proptosis response in TED. As a result, we expect top-line results to be available in the second 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.

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 changes in inflation and interest rates, a 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.
