New in FY2025

  • In February 2026, we announced that enrollment is complete in the Phase 3 studies and that topline data is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
  • In November 2023, we reported that barzolvolimab achieved the primary efficacy endpoint in a Phase 2 study in CSU, with a statistically significant mean change from baseline to Week 12 of UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score) compared to placebo and was well tolerated.
  • In June 2025, we presented follow up data from this study through Week 76, 7 months after the completion of dosing with barzolvolimab, demonstrating ongoing profound, sustained complete response and improved quality of life.
  • In July 2024, we announced that our Phase 2 study in CIndU achieved the primary efficacy endpoint, (statistically significant difference between the percent of patients with a negative provocation test compared to placebo at Week 12) and was well tolerated. 12 week data from the CIndU study were presented in October of 2024 and all secondary endpoints across the study were also met and were highly statistically significant and clinically meaningful.
  • In November 2025, data from the 20 week placebo controlled treatment period were presented, demonstrating sustained efficacy and a favorable safety profile.
  • Patients with returning or continuing symptoms were eligible to enroll into an open label extension (OLE).
  • We are conducting ongoing Phase 2 studies in prurigo nodularis (PN) and atopic dermatitis (AD).
  • Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) Summary of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Data Presented to Date CSU presents as itchy hives, angioedema or both for at least six weeks without a specific trigger; multiple episodes can play out over years or even decades.
  • We have completed a Phase 2 study in patients with CSU who remained symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy.
  • The study was conducted at approximately 75 sites across 9 countries.
  • The study was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 study that evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab 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 phase.
  • 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 then entered a follow-up period for an additional 24 weeks.
  • The primary endpoint of the study was mean change in baseline to Week 12 in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score).
  • Secondary endpoints included safety and other assessments of clinical activity including ISS7 (weekly itch severity score), HSS7 (weekly hive severity score) and AAS7 (weekly angioedema activity score).
  • Topline data from this study were presented in November of 2023 and 12 week treatment results were presented at the AAAAI Annual Meeting in February 2024.
  • In June 2024, 12 week data on a secondary endpoint from the study, angioedema activity, and additional measures of angioedema control, were presented at the EAACI 2024 Congress.
  • Patients on study continued to receive barzolvolimab for up to 52 weeks.
  • Long term treatment data were presented in September at the European Academy of Dermatology & Venereology (EADV) Congress 2024 and quality of life data were presented in March at the AAAAI Annual Meeting 2025.
  • The data demonstrated a sustained and deepening disease efficacy, a well tolerated safety profile, greatly improved urticaria control and reduced disease impact on quality of life over a 52 week treatment period.
  • Key highlights included: ● Improvements in UAS7 (weekly urticaria activity score), previously shown to be statistically significantly vs placebo at Week 12, were noted as early as Week 1 and were sustained or deepened at Week 52. ● At Week 16, patients receiving low dose barzolvolimab (75 mg) or placebo were transitioned to barzolvolimab 150 mg or 300 mg; after crossover, these patients experienced similar clinically meaningful disease response as the rest of the study population. ● 71% of patients treated with barzolvolimab 150 mg Q4W and 52% of patients treated with 300 mg Q8W had a complete response (no itch/hives; UAS7=0) at Week 52.
  • Adverse events were not dose dependent. ● Rapid and sustained improvement in urticaria control (UCT) and quality of life (DLQI) were observed in patients with CSU refractory to antihistamines.
  • Up to 82% of patients reported that CSU symptoms no longer had an impact on their quality of life at Week 52 and up to 95% of patients reported meaningful improvement in quality of life based on DLQI at Week 52.
  • Up to 82% of patients reported well-controlled urticaria based on UCT, and approximately half of patients reported complete control at Week 52.
  • In June of 2025, 52 week data on angioedema activity and additional measures of angioedema control were presented at the EAACI 2025 Congress.
  • Barzolvolimab continued to demonstrate robust, durable and deepening improvements in angioedema symptoms over the treatment period.
  • At Week 52, an 86% mean reduction from baseline was reported for 150 mg Q4W arm and an 82% reduction was reported for the 300 mg Q8W.
  • Up to 77% of patients treated with barzolvolimab who had angioedema at baseline were angioedema free (AAS7=0) at Week 52, which we subsequently announced remained at up to 64% seven months after last dose.
  • Patients treated with barzolvolimab were angioedema free up to 72% of the time over the 52 week treatment period.
  • Up to 87% of patients reported clinically meaningful improvement (>8 point) in AAS7 at Week 52.
  • In June of 2025, long term follow up data from the Phase 2 CSU study were presented at the EAACI 2025 Congress.
  • At Week 76, seven months after completion of dosing, patients continue to experience profound clinical benefit on study.
  • Key highlights included: ● 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 treatment and achieving complete response is directly correlated to the greatest improvements in quality of life for patients. ● 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.
  • No new safety signals were identified during the follow-up period.
  • 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.
  • In September at EADV 2025, data were presented demonstrating rapid and strong efficacy regardless of baseline immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels.
  • In November 2025, at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology’s Annual Scientific (ACAAI) Meeting, data were presented demonstrating that barzolvolimab leads to rapid and profound improvements in UCT7 scores with sustained disease control off treatment.
  • After completion of the 52 week treatment period, patients on study will continue to be followed for 16 weeks.
  • The primary endpoint analysis will be performed when all patients have completed the placebo controlled portion of the study at 24 weeks.

  • Chronic Inducible Urticaria (CIndU) Summary of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Data Presented to Date; 44 week Phase 2 follow up data to be presented in 2025.
  • CIndUs are forms of urticaria that have an attributable cause or trigger associated with them, typically resulting in hives or wheals.
  • We are currently exploring cold-induced and dermographism (scratch-induced) urticarias in an ongoing Phase 2 study.
  • In July 2022, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in a Phase 2 study in patients with CIndU who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy; in April 2024, we announced that enrollment was complete.
  • The study is being conducted at approximately 85 sites across approximately 12 countries.
  • The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 study is evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients with CIndU to determine the optimal dosing strategy. 196 patients in 2 cohorts (differentiated by CIndU subtype) including 97 patients with cold urticaria and 99 patients with symptomatic dermographism were randomly assigned on a 1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or placebo during a 20-week treatment phase.
  • Patients then enter a follow-up phase for an additional 24 weeks.
  • In addition, the study includes the option for patients who have symptoms following the treatment phase, including patients who were on placebo, to enroll in an open label extension where all patients receive 300 mg of barzolvolimab every 8 weeks.
  • The primary endpoint of the study is the percentage of patients with a negative provocation test at week 12.
  • Secondary endpoints include safety and other assessments of clinical activity including CTT (Critical Temperature Threshold), CFT (Critical Friction Threshold) and WI-NRS (Worst itch numeric rating scale).
  • UCT scores at baseline reflect poorly controlled disease.
  • We believe these results strongly support the further development of barzolvolimab in CIndU and plan to advance CIndU into Phase 3 registrational development.
  • Patients on study generally had moderate to severe disease with mean baselines scores across all arms of 8.6 for WI-NRS and 3.3 for IGA.
  • A single IV dose of 3.0 mg/kg barzolvolimab resulted in rapid and durable reductions in itch and healing of skin lesions in patients with moderate to severe PN and that barzolvolimab was generally well tolerated. ● At week 8, the percentage of patients with ≥4-point decrease in WI-NRS was 57% and 43% for the single dose 3.0 or 1.5 mg/kg barzolvolimab arms, respectively, and 25% for the placebo arm; this level of response generally persisted out to week 16.
  • In the 3.0 mg/kg arm, a ≥4-point decrease in WI-NRS reduction was seen as early as the first week and reached a high of 71% of patients at week six which was distinct from both the 1.5 mg/kg barzolvolimab and placebo arms. % of Subjects with ≥4-point decrease in WI-NRS Dose Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Week 8 1.5 mg/kg 3.0 mg/kg placebo ​ ● At week 8, 29% of patients achieved clear or almost clear skin according to IGA following a single dose of barzolvolimab 3.0 mg/kg.
  • The study will include approximately 50 clinical trial centers worldwide, including the United States.
  • Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) In July of 2023, we announced that the first patient had been dosed in a Phase 2 study of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
  • EoE, the most common type of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus characterized by the infiltration of eosinophils.
