Nektar Therapeutics Announces Positive Phase 2b REZOLVE-AA Trial Results for Rezpegaldesleukin
NKTR
New Projects/Investments
  • Nektar Therapeutics announced positive topline results from the 36-week induction treatment period of its Phase 2b REZOLVE-AA trial for rezpegaldesleukin in patients with severe-to-very-severe alopecia areata.
  • The primary endpoint showed a mean percent reduction in SALT score at Week 36 of 28.2% for the 24 µg/kg arm and 30.3% for the 18 µg/kg arm, compared to 11.2% for placebo.
  • When excluding four patients with major study eligibility violations, both treatment arms achieved statistical significance, with mean percent SALT reductions of 29.6% (24 µg/kg) and 30.4% (18 µg/kg) versus 5.7% for placebo.
  • The drug demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with a low discontinuation rate due to adverse events of 1.4% in the combined treatment arms.
  • These results establish the Phase 3 dose (24 µg/kg) and support the planned advancement to Phase 3 development for alopecia areata in 2026.

  • When excluding four patients with major study eligibility violations, both rezpegaldesleukin treatment arms met statistical significance (p=0.049 and p=0.042), showing mean percent SALT reductions of 29.6% and 30.4% versus 5.7% for placebo.
  • Rezpegaldesleukin was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with previously reported results, and the company plans to advance it to Phase 3 development in alopecia areata in 2026.

Nektar Therapeutics Provides Pipeline Update on Alopecia Areata and Atopic Dermatitis Programs
NKTR
New Projects/Investments
Guidance Update
  • Nektar Therapeutics expects to read out Phase 2b data for its alopecia areata (AA) program, RESPECT, next month (December 2025). The study enrolled patients with severe to very severe AA, benchmarking against low-dose Xeljanz/Olumiant.
  • The company aims for rezpegaldesleukin to be the first biologic approved in AA, highlighting its potential safety advantage over JAK inhibitors, which carry black box warnings and numerous risk factors. Market research indicates a strong preference for biologics due to safety and convenience.
  • For atopic dermatitis (AD), Nektar will read out 52-week maintenance data from its Phase 2b study in Q1 2026. The program has shown a differentiating feature by reducing ACQ5 scores in AD patients with comorbid asthma, a capability shared by only two other drugs (JAK inhibitors and Dupixent).
  • An end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA is planned before year-end to discuss the Phase 3 design for AA. If positive, AA could launch 12-18 months after AD, creating a substantial opportunity with two indications.

New Projects/Investments
Guidance Update
  • Nektar Therapeutics expects to read out Phase 2b data for rezpegaldesleukin in alopecia areata (AA) next month (December 2025), with the primary endpoint being the % change from baseline in SALT. The company aims to benchmark against low-dose Xeljanz efficacy while offering a superior safety profile as a potential first biologic in AA.
  • Market research indicates a strong preference among dermatologists and patients for a biologic with rezpegaldesleukin's profile over JAK inhibitors for AA, citing safety advantages and convenience, which could significantly expand the addressable market.
  • The company anticipates reading out 52-week maintenance data from its Phase 2b atopic dermatitis (AD) study in Q1 2026, evaluating once-a-month and once-every-three-month dosing regimens and the deepening of responses.
  • Recent data for rezpegaldesleukin in AD patients with comorbid asthma demonstrated a reduction in ACQ5 scores, a differentiating feature compared to selective IL-13 inhibitors, suggesting broader therapeutic potential in TH2-mediated diseases.
  • An end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA is planned before the end of 2025 to discuss the Phase 3 design and overall Biologics License Application (BLA) plan for rezpegaldesleukin.
