With compelling Phase 2 data in both ulcerative colis("UC") and rheumatoid arthritis ("RA") ABX464 looks well positioned as a potential broad range anti-inflammatory. Oral and safe ABX464 appears has efficacy on par and better sustained than competing drugs. Phase 2b UC data shows 58% of patients in clinical remission after 48 months of maintenance therapy. Phase 2a rheumatoid arthritis ("RA") data achieved the primary safety and tolerability endpoint and statistically significant improvement in

Phase 2a rheumatoid arthris ("RA") data not only achieved the primary endpoint of safety and tolerability, but also stascally significant improvement in the ACR20 and encouraging signals in other RA disease measures; despite being insufficiently powered. 60 paents with inadequate response to methotrexate and or TNFα inhibitors were included in the trial. Adverse events ("AE") were mild and dose dependent. While there were some AE-related paent drop out, recent data in ulcerave colis ("U
First data from Phase 2b in ulcerave colis ("UC”) demonstrates stascally significant improvement in the Modified Mayo Score ("MMS") the primary endpoint. The 254-paent trial including 50% of paents refracve to exisng biologic or JAK therapies showed ABX464 to be effecve at all doses tested (25mg, 50mg, 100mg) with a rapid onset of acon detectable at day 8. Although not powered, the trial also achieved stascal significance in almost all secondary endpoints, except clinical remission a
With first ABX464 data from Phase 2b in ulcerave colis ("UC”) expected in midMay and from Phase 2a in rheumatoid arthris end Q2, the next two months could be transformave for Abivax. As highlighted in the recent KOL webinar, while there are already mulple therapies, diagnosed largely in younger paents there is sll a substanal and growing unmet need in UC for a safe, effecve, convenient and well tolerated drug that can be used over many years. Orally delivered and proven safe in mulple
While termination of the ABX464 COViD Phase 2b / 3 miRAGE trial is clearly a disappointment, we see little read-through to the core ABX464 programmes in chronic inflammation. The basis of the acute inflammatory storm in patients with severe COVID remains poorly understood. These negative data likely reflect the distinct natures of acute and chronic inflammatory disease, where strong Phase 2 data in ulcerative colitis already supports ABX464 safety and efficacy. Abivax remains substantially unde
Combining anti-viral and anti-inflammatory actions, ABX464 looks ideally placed for the COVID therapy. Data from the on-going COVID Phase 2b / 3 would be transformational with a still immediate need for treatment; effective vaccines still face substantial manufacturing and distribution hurdles. With strong Phase 2 safety and efficacy data in ulcerative colitis, Abivax also remains substantially undervalued on the basis of its ABX464 chronic inflammatory programme alone. Now fully funded to compl
Abivax announced today that ABX464 had been cleared to start Phase 2b / 3 clinical trials in the treatment of COVID-19 infection in diagnosed high risk patients. Orally delivered ABX464 has a combined anti-inflammatory and anti-viral action that could make it a game-changer in COVID-19 therapy. Developed originally as an HIV antiviral, ABX464 has already been shown in clinical trials in ulcerative colitis ("UC") to repress effectively many of the inflammatory mediators that also underlie the sev
Data presented at the United European Gastroenterology Conference ("UEG") further support the impact of Abivax's ABX464 on ulcerative colitis ("UC"). While response to biologic therapies such as anti-TNFs often wains with time and alternatives including JAK inhibitors are associated with serious safety issues, 12-month Phase 2a extension endoscopic data indicate sustained and improving clinical remission with ABX464 in 75% of patients observed. Matched by improvements in both Mayo Score and faec
The €12m investment by a leading healthcare investor (Sofinnova Partners), is a strong endorsement of Abivax and anti-inflammatory ABX464 in particular. As highlighted in our recent report (25th June 2019), clinical data to date suggests that ABX464 could take a meaningful share of the $70bn anti-inflammatory market. The unmet potential of the inflammatory market is well illustrated by the recently announced $5.1bn deal between Gilead Sciences Inc. and Galapagos NV. With future financing expecte
Focussed on identification and exploitation of regulators of immunity and inflammation, Abivax has two major products in clinical trials. With Phase 2a efficacy on a par with recently approved tofacitinib, ABX464 shows sustained benefit in ulcerative colitis ("UC") without the safety concerns of JAK or anti-TNF drugs. Moving into confirmatory Phase 2b for UC and Phase 2a in Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis ("RA"), ABX464 promises a meaningful share of the $70bn anti-inflammatory market and a sub
Data presented at the ECCO (European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation) support the potential of Abivax's ABX464 in ulcerative colitis ("UC") While response to biologic therapies such as anti-TNF often wains with time and alternatives including JAK inhibitors are associated with serious safety issues, six month Phase 2a extension data indicate safety and progressive improvements from ABX464 in key UC disease markers, including Mayo Score and faecal calprotectin over the eight months since the ori
With proof-of-concept trials in ulcerative colitis ("UC") suggesting efficacy on a par Abivax's ABX464 looks a real alternative to approved therapies. A new class of oral drug releasing a natural inflammatory brake, ABX464 could alleviate the treatment failures and possibly safety issues of existing drugs. This would open a significant opportunity in a > $70bn market. We are optimistic that clinical studies planned for 2019E should confirm the UC results and may suggest efficacy in Crohn's Disea
Phase 2a ulcerative colitis ("UC") data indicates real promise for the ABX-464 in the $15bn inflammatory bowel disease ("IBD") market. A small early stage trial, positive read-out on all key parameters suggests real benefits from this oral once a day drug for patients seeking to avoid repeated intravenous infusions or at worst surgical bowel removal. Already showing promise in the depletion of latent HIV reservoirs, these new data should significantly de-risk the drug's path to market potentiall
Data released from the second cohort of the ABX-464-005 trial indicates that ABX-464 can reduce the latent HIV reservoir in gut as well as in peripheral blood in patients receiving anti-retroviral therapy. Compared to the first trial cohort, these data suggest that the drug is safe when used over a longer period (3 months vs. 28 days) and has an impact on multiple latent viral reservoirs in HIV-infected patients; even when u sed at a third of the dose (50mg/day vs. 150mg/day). While full data fr
While retroviral therapy now sees patients survive into their seventies, latent residual infection still condemns the HIV-infected to life time therapy, chronic health problems and shortened lives. Compelling preclinical data now supported by two Phase II human trials indicate that Abivax's ABX464 could be the first drug to drain the latent HIV reservoir. With its novel mode of action ("MoA"), the drug may not only act to reduce or even eradicate residual infection untouched by existing antiretr
