Celldex Therapeutics

Celldex Therapeutics, focused on developing targeted therapeutics for cancer and other diseases, has a lead product candidate, barzolvolimab, showing promising results in chronic urticaria (CSU) and chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) clinical trials. Barzolvolimab, an anti-KIT monoclonal antibody, could address unmet needs in CSU, with a potential market opportunity of over $1 billion annually. Celldex is advancing barzolvolimab through clinical trials, with Phase 2 data demonstrating competitive efficacy compared to omalizumab (Xolair). The company is preparing for Phase 3 trials and exploring barzolvolimab's potential in other indications like prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis. Financial projections are modest in the near term but expected to grow significantly upon regulatory approval and commercial success of barzolvolimab.

20+ companies, including Regeneron and Sanofi, are advancing 25+ urticaria drugs through clinical trials, addressing unmet needs in treatment.

Evommune, a California biotech, raised $115 million to advance its two chronic immune condition drugs, EVO756 and EVO301, through Phase 2 trials by 2026. EVO756, an oral treatment targeting mast cells, is in mid-stage testing for chronic skin hives, while EVO301, a fusion protein, aims to treat eczema. The funding, co-led by RA Capital Management and Sectoral Asset Management, positions Evommune for potential IPO.

Celldex's barzolvolimab met all primary and secondary endpoints with high statistical significance in Phase 2 CIndU study, showing complete response rates up to 53.1% in cold urticaria and 57.6% in symptomatic dermographism patients, with a favorable safety profile. Phase 3 development planned for 2025.

Celldex Therapeutics reports positive Phase 2 results for barzolvolimab in chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), achieving all primary and secondary endpoints. The drug, targeting mast cell function via KIT inhibition, showed significant clinical benefit and favorable safety in patients with cold urticaria and symptomatic dermographism. Plans for Phase 3 development in 2025 are underway.

Celldex announces barzolvolimab met all primary and secondary endpoints with high statistical significance in a Phase 2 study for chronic inducible urticaria, including cold urticaria and symptomatic dermographism, in patients unresponsive to antihistamines. Barzolvolimab, a KIT inhibitor, demonstrated rapid disease improvement and a favorable safety profile, with plans to initiate Phase 3 development in 2025.
