Current report

In May 2026, we reported updated data from our ongoing Phase 1b study of BHV-1300 in patients with Graves’ disease. In the study, weekly administration of BHV-1300 1000 mg subcutaneously achieved mean reductions of pathogenic TSHR-IgG1 autoantibodies of greater than 80% by week 12 in patients with Graves’ hyperthyroidism. Among participants with elevated thyroid hormones despite concurrent anti-thyroid drug therapy, normalization of free T4 occurred at a median of 3 weeks and normalization of free T3 occurred at a median of 5 weeks after the first administration of BHV-1300. Based on current data, BHV-1300 has been safe and well-tolerated through 12 weeks of dosing, with most adverse events ("AEs") mild and self-resolving, no serious adverse events (" SAEs"), no clinically significant increases in cholesterol or ALT/AST/bilirubin, no clinically significant reductions in albumin, and no clinically significant reductions in IgG3, IgA, IgE, or IgM relative to baseline. Based upon these Phase 1b results, we have initiated a pivotal trial of BHV-1300 in Graves’ disease and expect to pursue additional follow-on studies in other autoimmune diseases. The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in approximately 300 adults with Graves’ hyperthyroidism evaluating normalization of T3, T4, and TSH at 26 weeks absent an antithyroid drug.

Current report

In May 2026, we reported updated Phase 1b data from our ongoing study of BHV-1400 in patients with IgAN. BHV-1400 administered subcutaneously achieved mean reductions of pathogenic Gd-IgA1 of greater than 60% within 48 hours and approximately 70% within the first month of dosing. These reductions were deeper than those reported for B-cell Activating Factor ("BAFF")/A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand ("APRIL") inhibitors, APRIL inhibitors, and CD38 inhibitors at comparable early time points. Reductions in Gd-IgA1 were associated with increases in eGFR, decreases in spot UPCR, and resolution of hematuria. Effects were selective, with no clinically significant reductions in other immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgE, or IgM). BHV-1400 has been safe and well-tolerated throughout one month of dosing, with most AEs mild and self-resolving, no SAEs, and no clinically significant increases in ALT, AST, or bilirubin.

Current report

◦Opakalim proof-of-concept study in idiopathic generalized epilepsy ("IGE"): In May 2026, we reported results from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, time-to-event proof-of-concept study of opakalim 75 mg once-daily in subjects with IGE with intractable generalized tonic-clonic ("GTC") seizures (NCT06425159). The study enrolled 27 subjects (15 opakalim, 12 placebo). The prespecified primary outcome was time to the second day with a GTC seizure during the 24-week double-blind period. The study was closed prior to reaching its prespecified sample size due to enrollment challenges and strategic portfolio prioritization; therefore formal statistical testing was not performed. The median time to the second GTC seizure was 141 days in the opakalim group compared to 47 days in the placebo group. 33 percent of opakalim-treated subjects completed the 24-week double-blind phase without a second GTC seizure, compared to 0% in the placebo group; 20% of opakalim-treated subjects completed the study seizure-free compared to 0% in the placebo group. Opakalim was well-tolerated in the IGE study, with no reported cases of somnolence, dizziness, fatigue, or memory impairment in the opakalim group.

Current report

◦BHV-1530: In July 2026, Biohaven announced plans to initiate combination cohorts evaluating BHV-1530 with monoclonal antibody Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), in the second half of 2026. In connection with these plans, we have entered into a clinical supply agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Regeneron") under which we will sponsor and fund the planned combination clinical trial, and Regeneron will provide Libtayo. BHV-1530 is currently being studied in an ongoing Phase 1 dose-escalation trial in unselected patients with advanced urothelial cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and non-small cell lung cancer who have failed standard-of-care therapy, as well as other tumor types harboring FGFR3 genomic alterations. Up to approximately 140 subjects are planned to be evaluated.

Current report

◦BHV-8100 phase 1 study initiation: In the second quarter of 2026, we initiated FIH dosing of BHV-8100. The Phase 1 study is a SAD study in healthy participants designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BHV-8100. Each cohort is planned to enroll approximately 8 subjects total (6 subjects receive active drug and 2 subjects receive placebo). Dose escalation is ongoing. Preliminary data from the study demonstrate a pharmacokinetic profile consistent with once-daily oral dosing and a well-tolerated profile at projected therapeutic exposures, with most adverse events mild and spontaneously resolving. BHV-8100 is an orally administered, brain-penetrant activator of the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase (“PKM2”), a novel therapeutic class designed to address the bioenergetic and immunometabolic basis of systemic, CNS and retinal disorders. PKM2 is the final, rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, converting phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate, and serves as a master metabolic regulator in energy-intensive cells and tissues, including the brain, retina, and immune system. BHV-8100 stabilizes the more highly active, tetrameric form of PKM2. The accumulation of the less active dimeric form leads to bioenergetic deficits and drives disease pathogenesis in multiple inflammatory and neurological disorders. Through stabilizing the PKM2 tetramer, BHV-8100 restores glycolytic flux and potentially metabolic deficits. Potential target indications include neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, ophthalmological conditions such as adult-onset macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and immunological disorders such as atopic dermatitis.

Previous wording

BHV-1400, Biohaven's first TRAP molecule, is designed to specifically target the pathogenic driver of IgAN, galactose deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) without suppressing the healthy immune system. BHV-1400 has been dosed in a clinically concluded phase 1 study in normal healthy volunteers and continues to be dosed in an expansion cohort of IgAN patients with plans to initiate the pivotal study in IgAN patients by mid-year 2026. Data from the first, and lowest, dose cohort and each subsequent cohort thereafter of BHV-1400 demonstrated clear differentiation from competitors in the IgA nephropathy space, with deep, rapid lowering of Gd-IgA1 within hours and preservation of host immunoglobulins ("Ig") including IgG, IgA, IgE, and IgM. These results have now been re-capitulated in the first IgAN patients dosed, with improvements noted in hematuria, proteinuria, and eGFR within the first month of dosing.

Previous wording

In the preliminary data reported, BHV-1300 was safe and well-tolerated in subcutaneous doses up to 2000 mg with no clinically significant increases in ALT, AST, or bilirubin, no clinically significant reductions in albumin, and no clinically significant increases in cholesterol over the four-week dosing period compared to placebo. There were no clinically significant reductions in IgG3, IgA, IgE, or IgM compared to baseline. Most AEs were mild and self-resolving, and there were no serious or severe AEs. A Phase 1b study has been initiated to evaluate the effect in participants with Graves' disease. We plan to initiate a pivotal trial of BHV-1300 in Graves’ disease by mid-year 2026 and expect to pursue additional follow-on studies in other autoimmune diseases. We are evaluating and have not yet finalized potential clinical trial designs, including size and primary and secondary endpoints.

Previous wording

In the first quarter of 2025, we announced deep and selective lowering of Gd-IgA1 with the first dose cohort tested in the SAD. Subjects achieved median Gd-IgA1 lowering of 60% within 4 hours of dose administration without clinically significant lowering of healthy immunoglobulins IgA, IgE, IgM, or IgG (see figure below). As a next generation TRAP degrader, BHV-1400 is a potential therapeutic for the treatment of IgA nephropathy, and highlights the precision of MoDE platform molecules in their ability to selectively remove a pathogenic disease-causing protein without suppressing the healthy immune system.

Previous wording

BHV-1400 has been safe and well-tolerated across the ongoing Phase 1 study. Most AEs were mild and self-resolving, there were no discontinuations due to study drug AEs, and there were no serious or severe study drug AEs. There were no clinically significant increases in ALT, AST or bilirubin, no clinically significant reductions in albumin and no clinically significant increases in cholesterol relative to placebo over the 4-week dosing period. There were no clinically significant reductions in other immunoglobulins including IgG, IgA, IgE, or IgM relative to baseline. Based upon the rapid and deep reductions of Gd-IgA1 observed with SC BHV-1400, we have expanded our Phase 1 study of BHV-1400 in patients with IgAN, and ultimately plan to initiate a pivotal trial using urine protein-creatinine ratio as a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval.

Previous wording

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.5 million Americans, or more than 1.2% of adults and 0.6% of children in the U.S., and more than 50 million patients worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. It is the fourth most common neurological disorder, and many patients struggle to achieve freedom from seizures, with more than one third of patients requiring two or more medications to manage their epilepsy. While the use of anti-seizure medications is often accompanied by dose-limiting side effects, our clinical candidate opakalim is specifically designed to target subtypes of Kv7 potassium channels without engagement of GABAA receptors. The lack of GABAA-R activity potentially gives opakalim a wide therapeutic window which we expect to result in an improved side effect profile, limiting the somnolence and fatigue often seen in patients receiving anti-seizure medications. We aim to bring this potassium channel modulator as a potential solution to patients with epilepsy who remain uncontrolled on their current regimens.

Previous wording

In January 2024, we completed our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to advance to Phase 3 trials and announced that more than 110 global clinical sites have been selected in the first of two focal epilepsy trials. Enrollment in our Phase 2/3 program commenced in the first quarter of 2024. The two pivotal studies evaluating the efficacy of opakalim in refractory focal epilepsy are planned as randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8- and 12-week trials with a primary endpoint of change from baseline in 28-day average seizure frequency in adults with focal epilepsy. RISE 3 is evaluating 50 mg and 75 mg doses of opakalim (see figure below). We expect to report topline results from RISE 3 in the second half of 2026. RISE 2 Part A is evaluating 25 and 50 mg doses of opakalim, whereas Part B is evaluating the 75 mg dose of opakalim (see figure below). The RISE 2 study was amended to add Part B with the higher 75 mg dose, thereby replicating the potential therapeutic benefits of the higher 75 mg dose in the RISE 3 study and optimizing the overall development plan for opakalim. The Company expects estimated enrollment in each study to be 390 participants.

Previous wording

In addition, Biohaven is currently conducting an open-label extension ("OLE") study to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of opakalim in participants who completed either parent study. Review of data from the ongoing open-label clinical trial experience with opakalim in focal epilepsy support the potential for opakalim to achieve efficacy and to deliver a favorable and differentiated safety profile. Open-label treatment with opakalim demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency compared to the pretreatment baseline observation period prior to randomization. Specifically, 55% of participants showed ≥50% reductions in seizure frequency (≥50% responder rate), for those who completed at least 6 months of treatment with opakalim 75 mg once daily in the open-label study; and this result is comparable to the ≥50% responder rate published for other investigational agents in the class such azetukalner (which has reported 56% of patients with a ≥50% responder rate over any consecutive (best) 6-month period from its Phase 2b OLE data). Notably, the antiseizure effects of opakalim were correlated with plasma concentrations, based on a preliminary exposure-response analysis. Opakalim was well-tolerated in the open-label study with a low incidence of CNS adverse events, consistent with prior studies with opakalim.

Previous wording

Based on non-clinical and clinical data, Biohaven initiated a Phase 2 study of taldefgrobep in the management of obesity in the fourth quarter of 2025. In March 2026, we announced that enrollment in the study was complete. Topline results for the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study are expected in the second half of 2026. The study will evaluate the ability of taldefgrobep to reduce fat mass and total body weight while increasing lean muscle mass. The study is a placebo-controlled study evaluating two dosing schedules of taldefgrobep versus placebo. Approximately 150 participants will be randomized to receive taldefgrobep or matching placebo over a 24-week double-blind treatment period followed by an additional 24 weeks of open-label extension during which all participants will receive taldefgrobep. Key endpoints include the change in total body weight, lean mass, fat mass, and metabolic parameters, along with a comprehensive assessment of safety. See below for trial design.

Changes in fair value, other than those attributed to changes in instrument-specific credit risk, are recorded within other (expense) income, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 4, "Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities," to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for detail on valuation inputs and methodology and Note 6, "Notes Payable," to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement.

We have historically outsourced all of the research and clinical development for our programs under a master services agreement with our subsidiaries, Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("BPI") and Biohaven Biosciences Ireland Limited (“BBIL”). Under these arrangements, both companies were profitable during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. BPI and BBIL are subject to taxation in the United States and Ireland, respectively. As such, in each reporting period, the tax provision includes the effects of the results of profitable operations of BPI and BBIL.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

In June 2026, we announced that enrollment in RISE 3 was complete. We expect to report topline results from RISE 3 in the second half of 2026. RISE 2 Part A is evaluating 25 and 50 mg doses of opakalim, whereas Part B is evaluating the 75 mg dose of opakalim (see figure below). The RISE 2 study was amended to add Part B with the higher 75 mg dose, thereby replicating the potential therapeutic benefits of the higher 75 mg dose in the RISE 3 study and optimizing the overall development plan for opakalim. The Company expects estimated enrollment in each study to be 390 participants.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Open-label treatment with opakalim demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in seizure frequency compared to the pretreatment baseline observation period prior to randomization. In January 2026, we reported that 56% of participants showed ≥50% reductions in seizure frequency (≥50% responder rate, or" 50%RR"), for those who completed at least 6 months of treatment with opakalim 75 mg once daily in the OLE study. Notably, the antiseizure effects of opakalim were correlated with plasma concentrations, based on a preliminary exposure-response analysis. Opakalim was well-tolerated in the OLE study.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

In May 2026, we subsequently reported updated data showing that 54% of participants had a ≥50%RR over any consecutive 6-month period in the OLE study (n>100). These results are comparable to the ≥50%RR published for other investigational agents in the class such azetukalner (which has reported 56% of patients with a ≥50%RR over any consecutive 6-month period from its Phase 2b OLE data). Opakalim was well-tolerated in the OLE study with a low incidence of CNS adverse events, consistent with prior studies with opakalim (see figure below).

R&D expenses, including non-cash share-based compensation costs, were $100.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $184.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of $83.6 million was primarily due to decreases in direct program spend and preclinical spend in 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in direct program spend was largely due to our strategic reprioritization of programs which was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2025, as well as one-time developmental milestones recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2025 of $15.0 million and $10.0 million for our BHV-8000 and BHV-1530 programs, respectively.
