Sam Slutsky's questions to Roivant Sciences Ltd (ROIV) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Sam Slutsky asked if achieving statistical significance in the DM trial would be a sufficient efficacy bar for physicians, given their familiarity with JAK inhibitors. He also inquired how positive data from batoclimab in Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) might be leveraged for the broader FcRn franchise or a future IMVT-1402 program.
Answer
CEO Matt Gline agreed that a 'simple stat sig trial' is the efficacy bar for brepocitinib in DM, as physicians are primarily seeking effective options for patients. Regarding the TED data, Gline noted it will inform the Graves' disease development program, and any decision on a future TED program with IMVT-1402 would be made with their partner after reviewing the data.
