After 20 years in various leadership roles with US pharma major Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), Pete Salzmann has left to take the top job - chief executive - at a company specializing in autoimmune diseases.

Immunovant, a member of Switzerland's Roivant family of companies, anticipates initiating a Phase IIa clinical trial of IMVT-1401 for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG), later this quarter.

This makes it a good time for Dr Salzmann to join, bringing with him experience in bringing a number of highly-successful drugs to market, including in immunology.
