NEW YORK, August 6, 2024 – Immunovant, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMVT), a clinical-stage immunology company dedicated to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases, today reported corporate updates and financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“We are encouraged by the progress we made this quarter on the execution of our plans for both batoclimab and IMVT-1402. Not only did we complete enrollment in our pivotal trial of batoclimab for MG, but we also continued to make great progress towards initiating pivotal trials with IMVT-1402 across a range of indications. This is very exciting given the uniquely positive features of both the anti-FcRn class and the uniquely positive potential benefits of IMVT-1402,” said Pete Salzmann, M.D., chief executive officer of Immunovant.

General Clinical Development Updates:

Immunovant continues to focus on unlocking the full potential of IMVT-1402 for the benefit of people with underserved autoantibody-driven diseases and remains on course to initiate four to five potentially registrational programs by March 31, 2025. In pursuit of this goal, Immunovant expects to have at least three IND applications active by December 31, 2024 to support clinical development of IMVT-1402 in multiple indications. As previously announced, Immunovant anticipates initiating clinical trials evaluating IMVT-1402 in a total of 10 indications by March 31, 2026.

Endocrinology Clinical Development Updates:

Immunovant previously announced initial results from the ongoing Phase 2 open-label, proof-of-concept study assessing the safety and efficacy of batoclimab in GD. The study represents the first evaluation of an anti-FcRn in GD. In the fall of this calendar year, Immunovant plans to provide a GD program update consisting of new epidemiologic data characterizing the potentially addressable market, additional results from the batoclimab study, and an overview of the IMVT-1402 development program in GD.



Top-line data from the current pivotal program evaluating batoclimab in thyroid eye disease (TED) continue to be expected in the first half of calendar year 2025. These data are expected to inform a decision regarding next steps for batoclimab in TED.

Neurology Clinical Development Updates:

Immunovant completed enrollment of the batoclimab pivotal trial in MG, with top-line results expected to be reported by March 31, 2025. Results from this trial are expected to inform a decision regarding next steps for batoclimab in MG. Immunovant also expects to initiate a potentially registrational program for IMVT-1402 in MG by March 31, 2025.

Immunovant continues to enroll patients in the batoclimab chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) trial. The data from this trial, as well as learnings from other CIDP trials, will be used to optimize the trial design for a potentially registrational program for IMVT-1402 in CIDP. Initial data from period 1 of the batoclimab CIDP trial and the trial design for IMVT-1402 in CIDP are both expected to be disclosed by March 31, 2025.

Financial Highlights for Fiscal First Quarter Ended June 30, 2024:

Cash Position: As of June 30, 2024, Immunovant’s cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $560 million.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $75.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $50.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to activities in preparation for potential future clinical trials of IMVT-1402, including contract manufacturing costs for drug substance, higher overall clinical trial costs related to our batoclimab pivotal clinical trials, and elevated personnel-related expenses. The increase was partially offset by lower overall costs related to our IMVT-1402 Phase 1 trial and nonclinical studies.

IPR&D Expenses: There were no acquired in-process research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, acquired in-process research and development expenses were $12.5 million related to the achievement of development and regulatory milestones for batoclimab under the terms of the HanAll in-license agreement.

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $18.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses, legal and other professional fees, information technology costs, and market research costs.

Net Loss: Net loss was $87.2 million ($0.60 per common share) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $73.9 million ($0.57 per common share) for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 included $13.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively, related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Common Stock: As of June 30, 2024, there were 146,195,673 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
