Argenx shares were up 25% to $474.87 in premarket trading after
the company said it and Zai Lab saw positive topline results from
their study evaluating Vyvgart Hytrulo, or efgartigimod alfa and
hyaluronidase-qvfc, in adults with chronic inflammatory
demyelinating polyneuropathy.
Zai Lab shares were up 10% to $30.49 in premarket trading.
The companies said the study met its primary endpoint,
demonstrating a significantly lower risk of relapse with Vyvgart
Hytrulo compared with placebo.
The study showed that the safety and tolerability profile was
consistent with confirmed safety profile of Vyvgart, and 91% of
eligible patients continued to the next phase of the open-label
extension study.
The most frequent treatment-related adverse event was injection
site reactions, which occurred in a lower percentage of patients
than previous Vyvgart Hytrulo trials. All injection site reactions
were mild to moderate and resolved over time.
