May 31: Banco Santander Press Release: Positive Phase 2 data of novel investigational anti-CD40L antibody frexalimab show significantly reduced disease activity in relapsing multiple sclerosis
Positive Phase 2 data of novel investigational anti-CD40L antibody frexalimab show significantly reduced disease activity in relapsing multiple sclerosis
Frexalimab met primary endpoint with 89% reduction in new gadolinium-enhancing T1 brain lesions achieved at Week 12 in the higher-dose treatment arm, compared with placeboSanofi plans to initiate pivotal trials in multiple sclerosis in early 2024 Paris, May 31 2023. New data, being presented in a late-breaking session at the 2023 Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers (CMSC) annual meeting, demonstrate that frexalimab, Sanofis novel second-generation investigational anti-CD40L antibody, with a unique mechanism of action, significantly reduced disease activity in a Phase 2 trial of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Following 12 weeks of therapy, the number of new gadolinium-enhancing (GdE) T1-lesions was reduced by 89% and 79% in the higher- and lower-dose treatment arms, respectively, compared with placebo, meeting the studys primary endpoint.
A substantial unmet need remains in MS for highly effective and well-tolerated treatment options that provide sustainable control of disease activity and disability progression, while minimizing risks. As the first second-generation anti-CD40L antibody to show efficacy in MS, frexalimab is thought to block the costimulatory CD40/CD40L cellular pathway necessary for adaptive (T and B cells) and innate (macrophages and dendritic cells) immune cell activation and function, without lymphocyte-depletion.
Erik Wallstrom, MD, PhD Global Head of Neurology Development, Sanofi"Building on our 20 years of research and development in multiple sclerosis, we are committed to growing our robust pipeline of MS therapies by exploring multiple treatment approaches with unique MOAs that have the potential to slow or halt disability, which remains one of the greatest unmet medical needs in multiple sclerosis today.
Gavin Giovannoni, MD, PhD, FCP, FRCP, FRCPathChair of Neurology, Blizard Institute, Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London"Frexalimab has a unique mechanism of action, blocking the CD40/CD40L costimulatory pathway thought to regulate both adaptive and innate immune cell activation and function a pathway that is pivotal in the pathogenesis of MS.

May 12: Banco Santander Press Release: Nirsevimab delivers 83% reduction in RSV infant hospitalizations in a real-world clinical trial setting
Nirsevimab delivers 83% reduction in RSV infant hospitalizations in a real-world clinical trial setting
The Hospitalized RSV Monoclonal Antibody Prevention (HARMONIE) study is a large, multi-country European interventional clinical trial aiming to determine the efficacy and safety of a single intramuscular dose of nirsevimab, with data collected in a real-world setting during the 2022-2023 RSV season.1 The trial recruited more than 8,000 infants and took place at nearly 250 sites across France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The data from HARMONIE were presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Infectious Diseases (ESPID).
Thomas TriompheExecutive Vice President, Vaccines, Sanofi This winter saw higher rates of RSV-related infant hospitalizations than during pandemic or pre-pandemic years. The HARMONIE data demonstrate the real-world impact nirsevimab has on pediatric hospitalizations, and illustrate its importance for infants, their families and public health.
Dr. Simon DrysdaleConsultant Pediatrician in Infectious Diseases at St. Georges University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Co-Chief Investigator of HARMONIERSV-related chest infections lead to high numbers of infants under 12 months old being hospitalized every year. These data reinforce the potential public health benefit of nirsevimab in terms of helping to reduce the strain on hospitals caused each year by RSV.
Throughout HARMONIE, nirsevimab maintained a favorable safety profile, consistent with the pivotal trial results.

Nirsevimab: Sanofi, AstraZeneca and Sobi simplify contractual agreements
Modification of existing collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca gives Sanofi full commercial control of nirsevimab and enhanced agility in the U.S.Existing collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca remains in place for nirsevimab activities ex-U.S. Paris, April 11, 2023. Sanofi has simplified its contractual arrangements relating to the development and commercialization of Beyfortus (nirsevimab) in the United States (U.S.).
Under the new and updated arrangements, Sobi will terminate its participation agreement with AstraZeneca, and Sanofi and AstraZeneca will update the Collaboration Agreement so that Sanofi has full commercial control of nirsevimab in the U.S. Sanofi has simultaneously entered into a direct royalty agreement with Sobi to share a portion of U.S. net sales from nirsevimab.
With respect to territories outside the U.S., the existing Collaboration Agreement between AstraZeneca and Sanofi continues to govern that relationship.
The new and updated contractual agreements do not impact nirsevimab registration and launch in the U.S., where all parties remain committed to making Beyfortus available for all infants in time for the 2023/24 RSV season.
April 04: Banco Santander Press Release: Two fitusiran Phase 3 studies published in The Lancet and The Lancet Haematology highlight potential to address unmet needs across all types of hemophilia
Two fitusiran Phase 3 studies published in The Lancet and The Lancet Haematology highlight potential to address unmet needs across all types of hemophilia
Both Phase 3 studies achieved their primary and secondary endpoints; fitusiran prophylaxis demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful improvements in bleed protection across all hemophilia populations, presented at ASH 2021 Paris April 4, 2023 Two studies, published in The Lancet and The Lancet Haematology, evaluating the efficacy and safety of fitusiran, an investigational siRNA therapy for the prophylactic treatment of adults and adolescents with hemophilia A or B, reinforce the potential of this investigational therapy to transform the current standard of care and address unmet needs for all types of hemophilia, regardless of inhibitor status.
Hemophilia A and B are rare congenital lifelong bleeding disorders in which the ability of a persons blood to clot is impaired, leading to excessive bleeds and spontaneous bleeds into joints that can result in joint damage and chronic pain, and significantly impact quality of life. Fitusiran has the potential to provide prophylaxis for all types of hemophilia, regardless of inhibitor status, with as few as six subcutaneous injections per year.
Dietmar Berger, M.D., Ph.D.Head of Global R&D ad interim and Chief Medical Officer at Sanofi Sanofi is committed to advancing the standard of care for all people with hemophilia through innovative science, providing consistent bleed protection while reducing treatment burden. We are entering a new era in hemophilia where, for the first time, people can choose therapies that meet their personal needs. These published data validate our science and add to a growing body of evidence supporting fitusirans potential to transform the treatment landscape.

Dupixent (dupilumab) approved by European Commission as first and only targeted medicine for children as young as six months old with severe atopic dermatitis
Approximately seven times as many patients aged 6 months to 5 years with severe atopic dermatitis treated with Dupixent experienced clear or almost clear skin and reduced overall disease severity compared to placeboPatients treated with Dupixent achieved rapid itch reduction as early as three weeks after start of therapy, with significant improvements at 16 weeks sustained through one yearDupixent is now a treatment option for the approximately 80,000 infants and young children living with uncontrolled severe atopic dermatitis in Europe Milestone marks third Dupixent European Commission approval in the past four months Paris and Tarrytown, N.Y. March 21, 2023. The European Commission (EC) has approved Dupixent(dupilumab) in the European Union (EU) to treat severe atopic dermatitis in children aged 6 months to 5 years old who are candidates for systemic therapy. With this approval, Dupixent is the first and only targeted medicine indicated to treat these young children in Europe and the U.S.
Korey Capozza, MPH Founder and Executive Director of Global Parents for Eczema Research (GPER)Watching an infant or young child grapple with the debilitating and wide-reaching impacts of severe atopic dermatitis is heartbreaking. Ive personally witnessed how this chronic skin disease can disrupt the lives of entire families when left uncontrolled. Intervening with effective treatments during infancy and early childhood can help manage the challenging impact this disease has on children and their families during such formative years.
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic type 2 inflammatory skin disease. Between 85% and 90% of patients first develop symptoms before 5 years of age, which can often continue through adulthood.
