AnaptysBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on delivering innovative immunology therapeutics, today announced that investigational ANB032, a BTLA agonist, did not meet the primary and secondary endpoints in any of the doses studied in the global, 201-patient ARISE-AD trial as a monotherapy for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) or eczema. ANB032 was well tolerated with no safety signals observed.

“While ANB032 was safe and well tolerated, we’re disappointed by these efficacy results in AD and will discontinue further investment in this asset. Moving forward, our resources and capital will be focused on the rest of our exciting autoimmune portfolio,” said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer of Anaptys. “PD-1 is a co-inhibitory receptor found preferentially on activated T cells. We look forward to sharing for rosnilimab, a depleter and agonist targeting PD-1+ T cells, top-line Phase 2b rheumatoid arthritis data in February 2025 and top-line Phase 2 ulcerative colitis data in Q1 2026, followed by Phase 1b data from our two additional programs.”

The ARISE-AD study evaluated the efficacy, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ANB032 monotherapy in patients with moderate-to-severe AD. The study enrolled 201 patients with a mean baseline EASI score of 27.3 in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, who were either biologics naïve (n=168) or biologics experienced (n=33), defined as having received treatment with dupilumab or other IL-13 therapies. Patients were randomized to receive for 12 weeks either 100mg of subcutaneous ANB032 every four weeks (Q4W), 400mg every four weeks (Q4W) or 400mg every two weeks (Q2W), or placebo. The primary and secondary endpoints were assessed at Week 14.

Regardless of prior treatment experience, ANB032 did not meet the primary endpoint of the proportion of patients who achieved at least a 75% improvement from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index score (EASI-75), or any of the secondary endpoints at Week 14, including EASI-90, mean change in baseline EASI or a 4-point reduction in itch severity as measured by the peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PNRS) versus placebo.

Absolute response rates on key endpoints in patients treated with ANB032 approached the minimum target product profile with durable off-drug responses; however, higher placebo rates outside of the historical norm, particularly in the U.S., were observed.

ANB032 was well tolerated across all doses with no safety signals observed. Consistent with prior studies, data demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile for ANB032, with one participant across all three active dose arms with a serious adverse event (SAE) of worsening AD and two placebo participants with SAEs. There was no dose relationship or imbalance in AEs and no safety signals observed. The most common (>5%) AEs observed were nasopharyngitis, atopic dermatitis and headache.

“We are sincerely grateful to all of the patients and clinicians who participated in this important trial, without whom we would not be able to continue to learn about how best to treat this debilitating chronic disease,” said Paul Lizzul, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer of Anaptys.
