  • The European Commission has approved Sanofi SA SNY Enjaymo (sutimlimab) for hemolytic anemia in adult patients with cold agglutinin disease (CAD).
  • CAD is a rare chronic autoimmune hemolytic anemia, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy red blood cells, rupturing them (hemolysis).

  • Enjaymo is currently the only approved treatment for CAD. It is a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody designed to selectively target and inhibit the classical complement pathway-specific serine protease, C1s. 
  • The approval is based on data from two Phase 3 trials - CADENZA and CARDINAL.
  • In the CADENZA Part A study, Enjaymo met its primary composite endpoint and all secondary endpoints. It demonstrated hemolysis inhibition, hemoglobin levels increase, and clinically meaningful improvement in Fatigue scores.
