Evommune reported positive top-line data from Phase 2a POC trial of EVO301 in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (Ref)
Evommune announced positive results from its Phase 2a/ NCT06723405 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating EVO301 (anti-IL-18 mAb) in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD)
The trial met its primary endpoint of EASI at week 12. The safety profile was generally well-tolerated, with no treatment related serious or severe adverse events and no treatment-related discontinuations
Biomarker analysis showed significant reductions in both Th2 and non-Th2 inflammatory biomarkers in AD, including CCL-17 (TARC), CCL-22, and IL-22
Full results from the Phase 2a trial were planned to be presented at a future scientific conference
The Company continued advancing plans for a Phase 2b dose‑ranging trial in patients with AD, using a subcutaneous formulation of EVO301
