- Results from the 600 mg MAD cohort for IMVT-1402 similar to previously disclosed results from the 300 mg MAD cohort for IMVT-1402
- IMVT-1402 was observed to deliver dose dependent and deep IgG reductions similar to batoclimab in its Phase 1 study
- IMVT-1402 600 mg was observed to deliver placebo-like impact on albumin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), similar to the previously disclosed 300 mg MAD cohort data
- Potential best-in-class profile enables broad and exciting portfolio of indications, taking advantage of IgG reduction we expect will reach 80% with continued weekly dosing of 600 mg delivered by simple subcutaneous injection
“We are energized by this potential best-in-class profile, which opens the door to a unique portfolio of first-in-class and best-in-class indications for IMVT-1402, with an emphasis on those indications where potency matters most,” said
The Phase 1 clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled ascending dose study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IMVT-1402 in healthy adults. Four once-weekly SC injections of 600 mg IMVT-1402 reduced total IgG level by a mean of 74%, a potency that is similar to batoclimab at 680 mg that reduced IgG by 76% after 4 weekly doses. In disease settings where batoclimab was administered continuously, a reduction of 80% was observed at steady state after about 6-8 weeks. We believe steady state IgG reduction with IMVT-1402 will match this result and timing.
Across all doses evaluated, treatments with IMVT-1402 were generally well tolerated with only mild or moderate treatment-emergent adverse events observed. Serum albumin and LDL-C at Day 29 (peak pharmacodynamic impact) did not show a significant decrease or increase, respectively, from baseline (p-values > 0.05).

About IMVT-1402
IMVT-1402 is designed to be a potentially best-in-class anti-FcRn antibody for the treatment of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. In the initial results of a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy adults, IMVT-1402 demonstrated favorable pharmacodynamic and safety data. These attributes, combined with a convenient route of administration that may enable patient self-administration, position IMVT-1402 well as a potential treatment for a variety of autoimmune diseases associated with patient unmet need.
