Immunovant bets on IMVT-1402

31 May 2024

Autoimmune diseases specialist Immunovant (Nasdaq: IMVT) has opted to prioritize the development of IMVT-1402 as its lead asset due to its broad potential across a number of indications.

The New York-based company is set to begin four to five potentially registrational studies for the FcRn inhibitor in endocrinology, neurology, and other therapeutic areas in the next year. By the end of March 2026, Immunovant plans to start trials in a total of 10 indications.

"A combination of potentially best-in-class features not seen with any other FcRn inhibitor"Meanwhile, Immunovant is taking the foot off the gas in its development of batoclimab, another key asset. A top-line Phase III readout for the drug in myasthenia gravis had previously been expected in the second half of 2024, but this has now been pushed back to the end of March 2025.
