RezPEG, an IL-2 receptor agonist, showed rapid, dose-dependent efficacy in atopic dermatitis and is advancing into Phase 3 with a novel mechanism and potential for broad use. Upcoming catalysts include new data at EADV, alopecia results in December, and a strong cash position of $185 million.
-
Q2 2025 saw strong progress with REZPEG, including positive phase IIb data in atopic dermatitis and FDA Fast Track designations. Financially, the company ended the quarter with $175.9M in cash, completed major equity financings, and extended its cash runway into 2027.
-
The phase IIB study of REZPEG in atopic dermatitis met all primary and key secondary endpoints, showing rapid, dose-dependent efficacy and a favorable safety profile, including in severe patients. Translational data confirmed immunological impact, and maintenance/escape arm results are expected in 2026.
-
Rezpegaldesleukin, now fully owned, has shown strong efficacy and durability in atopic dermatitis, with corrected data confirming its potential. Phase II-B trials in atopic dermatitis and alopecia are underway, with results expected soon. Financial runway extends to Q4 2026.
-
Immunology pipeline advanced with REZPEG in phase 2b studies for atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, with key data readouts expected in June and December. Strong cash position ($220.7M), no debt, and guidance reaffirmed; collaboration likely needed for phase 3 REZPEG.
-
Rezpeg, a novel Treg agonist, is advancing through Phase IIb trials in atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, with key data readouts expected in June and Q4, respectively. The program also expands into type 1 diabetes, supported by a strong cash position and a projected runway into late 2026.
-
A new clinical trial will evaluate REZPEG, a pegylated IL-2, in new-onset type 1 diabetes to preserve beta cell function by expanding regulatory T cells. The study targets 66 patients, with primary outcomes focused on C-peptide at 12 months, and leverages improved pharmacokinetics and selectivity over prior IL-2 therapies.
