Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety and Dose Confirmation Run-in Period (SRP)
24 weeks

Proportion of participants with hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dL and ≥ 2 g/dL increase from Baseline with no use of blood transfusion or glucocorticoid (GC) rescue therapy.

Randomized Control Period (RCP)
24 weeks

Proportion of participants who achieve a durable Hgb response (defined as Hgb ≥ 10 g/dL and ≥ 2 g/dL increase from Baseline on at least 3 of 4 consecutive available visits), at the earliest on or after Week 12, with no use of blood transfusion or GC rescue therapy prior to attaining durable response through Week 24.

Primary outcome measure
Randomization to Week 52

Time to first IgG4-RD flare, defined as the reappearance of previous signs/symptoms or appearance of new signs/symptoms of IgG4-RD that requires initiation of rescue therapy in the opinion of the investigator and the Adjudication Committee (AC), from randomization to Week 52.

What is obexelimab?

Obexelimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed by Zenas BioPharma, Inc. (ticker ZBIO) for autoimmune and rare diseases. It is in Phase 3 clinical development across several indications, including IgG4-related disease, relapsing multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia.

What does obexelimab target?

Obexelimab targets CD19 and FCGR2B. It is an inhibitor designed to engage both targets, and it is being studied in autoimmune conditions where B cells and antibody-producing cells are thought to contribute to disease activity.

Who makes obexelimab?

Obexelimab is developed by Zenas BioPharma, Inc., which trades under the ticker ZBIO. The company is running the clinical program for the drug across multiple autoimmune and rare disease indications.

What phase is obexelimab in?

Obexelimab is in Phase 3 clinical development. The Phase 3 program includes studies in IgG4-related disease and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, while relapsing multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus are being evaluated in Phase 2 trials. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is obexelimab in?

Obexelimab is being studied in four trials: NCT05662241 in IgG4-related disease (Phase 3), NCT05786573 in warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (Phase 3, SApHiAre), NCT06564311 in relapsing multiple sclerosis (Phase 2, MoonStone), and NCT06559163 in systemic lupus erythematosus (Phase 2). All are active and not recruiting.

What is obexelimab used for in IgG4-related disease?

Obexelimab is being evaluated as a treatment for IgG4-related disease in the Phase 3 trial NCT05662241, which enrolled 194 patients across the United States, Europe, Asia, and other regions. The study is randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, and it is currently active but not recruiting participants.
