Roivant: Phase 2 namilumab study fails in sarcoidosis; development discontinued
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Namilumab failed to meet the primary endpoint (proportion of subjects with a Rescue Event) in chronic active pulmonary sarcoidosis.
- Secondary endpoints (FVC, corticosteroid tapering, King's Sarcoidosis Questionnaire) also showed no treatment benefit.
- Safety profile remained consistent with prior studies; no new safety signals emerged.
- Kinevant will discontinue further development of namilumab for sarcoidosis and plans to publish study results.
- Roivant CEO Matt Gline acknowledged the failure but highlighted other program successes and continued clinical risk-taking.
