New Data Strengthen Case For RemeGen’s Telitacicept In gMG

‘Highest’ MG-ADL Response Rate

Results from a China Phase III trial show the potential of RemeGen's fusion protein telitacicept in generalized myasthenia gravis. But study design differences make direct comparisons with argenx's FcRn inhibitor Vyvgart challenging.

RemeGen’s telitacicept, the world’s first approved fusion protein targeting B-cell lymphocyte stimulator/a proliferation inducing ligand (BLyS/APRIL), is looking increasingly likely to provide a strong alternative to existing neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitors in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), new data from a China-only Phase III study suggest.

Key Takeaways
  • RemeGen’s telitacicept looks likely to be a strong alternative to FcRn inhibitors such as argenx’s Vyvgart for generalized myasthenia gravis, based on new data from a China Phase III study.

At week 24, patients treated with telitacept subcutaneously once weekly showed improvements of a placebo-adjusted 4.8 points (p<0.001) in the...
