Zenas BioPharma presents new obexelimab Phase 3 OLE data in IgG4-RD at IgG4 Symposium
New data from the Phase 3 INDIGO open-label extension showed sustained flare-free probability (0.93/0.87) and low glucocorticoid use with obexelimab in IgG4-RD. Additional analyses demonstrated reduced glucocorticoid toxicity versus placebo and preserved vaccine responses after a treatment-free window. These results add to clinical evidence for obexelimab as a reversible, steroid-sparing B-cell inhibitor.
