Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY)announces that the Phase 3 PEGASUS trial evaluating rilzabrutinib to treat pemphigus, a rare autoimmune skin condition, did not meet its primary or key secondary endpoints.
The primary endpoint was complete remission from weeks 29 to 37 with minimal doses of corticosteroids (≤10/mg day). Complete remission was defined as the absence of new and established skin lesions.
Results show the proportion of patients meeting the primary endpoint on rilzabrutinib was not significantly different from placebo.
Rilzabrutinib’s safety profile remained consistent with previous results and no new safety signals were identified.
