Medicine Azad's questions to IMMUNIC (IMUX) leadership • Q2 2024
Question
Asked about the competitive landscape in light of failures in the BTK inhibitor class and the potential for vidofludimus to leapfrog them. Also inquired about the next steps for a Phase III trial following a positive CALLIPER readout, including the target population.
Answer
The recent disappointments in the BTK inhibitor class have opened doors and created an opportunity for vidofludimus as a differentiated alternative. The company is already planning a single Phase III trial for progressive MS, which would likely focus on the non-relapsing secondary progressive population due to the high unmet need, contingent on the strength of the CALLIPER data and overall partnership strategy.
