Corporate presentation summary
15 Jul, 2026Rademikibart clinical development and differentiation
Rademikibart, a next-generation anti-IL-4Ra antibody, showed rapid and sustained FEV₁ improvement in asthma and COPD, with effects observed within 24 hours of SC dosing and within 15 minutes of IV push, maintained through Day 29.
Demonstrated greater FEV₁ response and faster onset than other biologics, including dupilumab, and directly induces bronchodilation in preclinical and clinical studies.
Rademikibart reduces eosinophil counts, lowering risk of hypereosinophilia and related SAEs, unlike dupilumab which increases eosinophils.
Phase 2 studies in acute asthma and COPD exacerbations completed enrollment, with topline results expected September 2026; positive results may prioritize asthma for faster approval.
Phase 3 atopic dermatitis (AD) study in China showed high response rates (87.1% IGA 0/1, 96.6% EASI-75, 85.3% EASI-90) and a favorable safety profile.
Market opportunity and commercial strategy
Acute and chronic indications in asthma and COPD represent a significant commercial opportunity, with projected peak sales of >$3B for asthma and >$2B for COPD.
Rademikibart's rapid onset and acute indication differentiate it from competitors, with clinicians expecting to maintain 75% of acutely treated patients on chronic therapy.
Addressable market includes >1 million acute asthma exacerbation patients annually in the US, with similar numbers in the EU.
New high-yield manufacturing and IV presentation support hospital-friendly pricing and market penetration.
Financial position and outlook
Cash and cash equivalents of $46.0 million as of March 31, 2026, expected to fund operations into the second half of 2027.
Net loss for Q1 2026 was $19.4 million, with $16.0 million net cash used in operations.
Exclusive global rights (outside greater China) and patent protection extend into the 2040s, supporting long-term value creation.
