Omalizumab

New late-breaking data at EAACI showed Dupixent outperformed Xolair across all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints of CRSwNP and in all asthma-related endpoints Dupixent also outperformed Xolair in improving such key signs and symptoms as nasal polyp size and sense of smell in CRSwNP, and lung function and disease control in asthma, with rapid improvements seen as early as 4 weeks Results reinforce the efficacy of Dupixent in treating both upper and lower respiratory diseases by targeting IL-4 and IL-13, two key drivers of type 2 inflammation TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS , June 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today presented positive results from the EVEREST Phase 4 trial in adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and coexisting asthma. In the trial, Dupixent® (dupilumab) outperformed Xolair® (omalizumab) on all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints of CRSwNP, and in all asthma-related endpoints. The data are from the first-ever presented head-to-head respiratory trial with biologic medicines and were shared in a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2025 European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Congress. “Patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps often live with the constant obstruction of their nasal passages that can lead to burdensome nasal congestion and loss of smell. What’s more, a majority of these individuals also have asthma that can substantially impact their quality of life,” said Eugenio De Corso , M.D., Ph.D., ENT Specialist, Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology, A. Gemelli University Hospital Foundation , IRCSS, Rome, Italy , and lead investigator of the study. “EVEREST is the first-ever trial to demonstrate the superiority of Dupixent over Xolair on CRSwNP endpoints in patients with coexisting asthma, along with generally similar safety profiles. Together, these Dupixent outcomes provide important insights that will help guide patients and physicians through the treatment decision-making process.” In the EVEREST trial, 360 adults with severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP and coexisting asthma were randomized to receive Dupixent 300 mg (n=181) every two weeks or a weight- and immunoglobulin E (IgE) level-based dosing regimen of Xolair (n=179) every two or four weeks. Both Dupixent and Xolair were added to background mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS). Primary and secondary endpoint results in CRSwNP for patients treated with Dupixent compared to Xolair at 24 weeks were as follows, with differences seen as early as 4 weeks: 1.60-point superior reduction in nasal polyp size, a primary endpoint (p<0.0001a) 8.0-point superior improvement in ability to identify different smells, a primary endpoint (p<0.0001a). More patients on Dupixent improved above the anosmia threshold compared to Xolair. 0.58-point superior reduction in nasal congestion/obstruction, a key secondary endpoint (p<0.0001a) 0.81-point superior improvement in loss of smell, a key secondary endpoint (p<0.0001a) 1.74-point superior reduction in symptom severity (p<0.0001a) 12.7-point difference in health-related quality of life (p<0.0001b) 31.27-point difference in peak nasal inspiratory flow (p<0.0001b) 1.87-point difference in overall severity of rhinosinusitis (p<0.0001b) Asthma endpoint results for patients treated with Dupixent compared to Xolair at 24 weeks were as follows, with differences seen as early as 4 weeks: 150 mL difference in lung function (pre-bronchodilator FEV1; p=0.003b) 0.48-point difference in asthma control (p<0.0001b) aStatistically significantbNominally significant as the endpoint was not included in the multiplicity adjustment hierarchy The safety results in the EVEREST trial were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved respiratory indications, with similar overall rates of adverse events (AEs) observed between Dupixent (64%) and Xolair (67%). Serious AEs were reported in 2% and 4% of patients treated with Dupixent and Xolair, respectively. Additionally, AEs leading to trial discontinuation were reported in 3% of Dupixent patients and 1% of Xolair patients. About the Dupixent Phase 4 TrialEVEREST is a randomized, double-blind Phase 4 trial comparing the efficacy and safety of Dupixent to Xolair in adults with severe, uncontrolled CRSwNP and coexisting mild, moderate or severe asthma. During the 24-week trial, patients received Dupixent 300 mg every two weeks or Xolair 75 to 600 mg every two or four weeks, which was added to background MFNS. Xolair dosing was determined based on body weight and serum total IgE levels as per the approved label. All endpoints were assessed at 24 weeks. The primary endpoints assessed change from baseline in nasal polyp score (NPS; scale: 0-8) and the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT; scale: 0-40). Secondary endpoints included change from baseline in nasal congestion (NC; scale: 0-3), loss of smell (LoS; scale: 0-3), total symptom score (TSS; scale: 0-9), Sino-Nasal Outcome Test-22 (SNOT-22; scale: 0-110), peak nasal inspiratory flow, and rhinosinusitis disease severity (visual analogue scale: 0-10 cm). Other endpoints assessed pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume over one second (pre-BD FEV1) and the 7-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-7; scale: 0-6). About DupixentDupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are two of the key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in different age populations. More than 1,000,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.1 About Regeneron’s VelocImmune Technology Regeneron 's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron 's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial proportion of all original, FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes Dupixent® (dupilumab), Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb), Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn) and Veopoz® (pozelimab-bbfg). In addition, REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab) had been authorized by the FDA during the COVID-19 pandemic until 2024. Dupilumab Development Program Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation. In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin, bullous pemphigoid and lichen simplex chronicus. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.

Seven months after the completion of dosing: 41% of patients (150 mg Q4W) continue to experience complete response (UAS7=0) 48% of patients (150 mg Q4W) report that CSU no longer impacts their quality of life (DLQI=0/1) KIT related tolerability events demonstrated to be reversible Enrollment to Phase 3 CSU trials ongoing Company to host webcast today at 6:00 pm ET 41% of patients (150 mg Q4W) continue to experience complete response (UAS7=0) 48% of patients (150 mg Q4W) report that CSU no longer impacts their quality of life (DLQI=0/1) KIT related tolerability events demonstrated to be reversible HAMPTON, N.J., June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celldex (NASDAQ:CLDX) announced today new data demonstrating profound, sustained complete response and improved quality of life at 76 weeks, 7 months after the completion of dosing with barzolvolimab in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), an immune-related condition driven by mast cell activation. Barzolvolimab specifically targets mast cells by binding the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibiting its activity, which is required for mast cell function and survival. The data are being presented in a late breaking oral presentation (#100227) at the EAACI Congress 2025. The Company previously announced that this Phase 2 study of barzolvolimab in patients with moderate to severe CSU refractory to antihistamines, including patients with biologic-refractory disease, met its primary endpoint—a significant improvement in UAS7 compared to placebo at 12 weeks—across all dose groups tested. Barzolvolimab also demonstrated rapid, profound complete response rates (UAS7=0; no itch/no hives) in up to 51% of patients at 12 weeks, which continued to deepen over 52 weeks of active therapy to up to 71% of patients. Seven months after completion of dosing, patients continue to experience profound clinical benefit, with up to 41% of patients reporting a complete response at 76 weeks and 48% of patients reporting that their disease no longer impacts their quality of life. Barzolvolimab demonstrated a well tolerated safety profile throughout the study. “In this large Phase 2 study, patients on barzolvolimab experienced rapid, profound, durable complete response which correlated with meaningful improvements in quality of life—the goal of treatment for patients and physicians,” said Martin Metz, M.D., Professor, Department of Dermatology and Allergy, Head of Translational Research and Deputy Head of Clinical Trials at Charité – Universitätsmedizin in Berlin and the lead investigator of the study. “By addressing the root driver of chronic spontaneous urticaria, the mast cell, barzolvolimab provided meaningful clinical benefit to more than 90% of the patients on study, including patients with severe disease refractory to omalizumab, and demonstrated a level of sustained complete response after the completion of active therapy that is unprecedented in CSU. Importantly, across this large, 76 week Phase 2 trial, barzolvolimab also presented a favorable safety profile, further supporting barzolvolimab’s significant potential to become a transformative treatment option for patients suffering from this often very severe and debilitating disease.” Data highlights at 76 weeks (7 months/28 weeks after completion of barzolvolimab treatment) Rapid, profound improvements in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) were reported as early as one week after dosing. Barzolvolimab achieved the primary efficacy endpoint, a statistically significant mean change from baseline to Week 12 in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) compared to placebo, at all dose levels. These improvements were sustained or deepened at Week 52 and continued to Week 76. UAS7 mean change from baseline at Week 76 was -20.42 for patients treated with 150 mg Q4W and -21.10 for patients treated with 300 mg Q8W. 41% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 35% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W had a complete response (no itch/hives; UAS7=0) at Week 76. 56% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 47% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W had well controlled disease (UAS7≤6) at Week 76. 48% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 40% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W reported that CSU had no impact on their quality of life at 76 weeks as measured by the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Current clinical guidelines recommend complete response (UAS7=0) as the goal of treatment1 and achieving complete response is directly correlated to the greatest improvements in quality of life for patients2. These robust responses and improvements in quality of life were observed regardless of prior omalizumab experience. Barzolvolimab was well tolerated with a favorable safety profile through 76 weeks. The most common adverse events were grade 1 (mild), mechanism related (KIT) and reversible. No new safety signals were identified during the follow-up period. As previously disclosed, neutropenia events resolved rapidly and while still receiving barzolvolimab treatment and there was no association between neutropenia and infections. As expected, neutrophil counts returned to baseline following the completion of barzolvolimab treatment and the mild hair color changes and skin hypopigmentation observed on study were demonstrated to be reversible following discontinuation of treatment. “At every analysis across multiple endpoints in this Phase 2 study, barzolvolimab has demonstrated best in disease data, suggesting barzolvolimab holds great promise as a transformational treatment for patients suffering from CSU— a disease of misery that often impacts all aspects of patients’ lives,” said Diane C. Young, M.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Celldex. “On behalf of Celldex, I want to thank the patients and physicians who participated in this study. We remain diligently focused on executing across our clinical trials to bring this potential important new medicine to patients.” Results presented at the EAACI Congress 2025 are available on the "Publications” page of the "Science" section of the Celldex website. 1Zuberbier T, et al.

About Barzolvolimab Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity. KIT is expressed in a variety of cells, including mast cells, which mediate inflammatory responses such as hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. KIT signaling controls the differentiation, tissue recruitment, survival and activity of mast cells. In certain inflammatory diseases, such as chronic urticaria, mast cell activation plays a central role in the onset and progression of the disease. Barzolvolimab is currently being studied in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), prurigo nodularis (PN), eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) and atopic dermatitis (AD), with additional indications planned for the future. About the Phase 2 CSU Study The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 study evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy, to determine the optimal dosing strategy. 208 patients were randomly assigned on a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 75 mg every 4 weeks, 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or placebo during a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment period. After 16 weeks, patients then entered a 36-week active treatment period, in which patients receiving placebo or the 75 mg dose were randomized to receive barzolvolimab 150 mg every 4 weeks or 300 mg every 8 weeks; patients already randomized to the 150 mg and 300 mg treatment arms remained on the same regimen as during the placebo-controlled treatment period. After 52 weeks, patients enter a follow-up period for an additional 24 weeks. Barzolvolimab achieved the primary efficacy endpoint of the study—a statistically significant mean change from baseline to week 12 in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) compared to placebo at all dose levels.

About the Phase 3 Program Celldex is currently conducting a global Phase 3 Program for barzolvolimab in CSU, consisting of two Phase 3 trials (EMBARQ-CSU1; NCT06445023 and EMBARQ-CSU2; NCT06455202) designed to establish the efficacy and safety of barzolvolimab in adult patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. The studies also include patients who remain symptomatic after treatment with biologics. Enrollment is underway. About Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) CSU is characterized by the occurrence of hives or wheals for 6 weeks or longer without identifiable specific triggers or causes. The activation of the mast cells in the skin (release of histamines, leukotrienes, chemokines) results in episodes of itchy hives, swelling and inflammation of the skin that can go on for years or even decades. Current therapies provide symptomatic relief only in some patients. About Celldex Celldex is pioneering new horizons in immunology to deliver life-changing therapies. We are relentless in our pursuit of novel antibody-based treatments that engage the human immune system and directly affect critical pathways to improve the lives of patients with allergic, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
