Hansa Biopharma Announces Late-Breaking Abstract from Confides Phase 3 Trial Selected for Oral Presentation At ATC 2026 Hansa Biopharma AB (publ) Announces Late-Breaking Abstract from ConfIdeS Phase 3 Trial Selected for Oral Presentation at ATC 2026. Highly sensitized patients have pre-formed antibodies called donor specific antibodies (DSAs) with a broad reactivity against human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), which can cause tissue damage and potentially transplant rejection.1 The presence of DSAs means that highly sensitized patients tend to have limited or no access to transplant, as finding a compatible donor organ can be particularly challenging.2,3 The complexity of their immunological profile means that highly sensitized patients spend longer time than average on transplant waiting lists, with evidence showing that this longer time waiting for a suitable donor relates to an increased mortality risk.4,5 Across the U.S. and Europe, highly sensitized patients comprise around 10%-15% of the total of patients on transplant waiting lists.6,7AboutimlifidaseImlifidase is conditionally approved in the European Union, Norway, Liechtenstein, Iceland and the UK under the tradename IDEFIRIX® for the desensitization treatment of highly sensitized adult kidney transplant patients with a positive crossmatch against an available deceased donor. IDEFIRIX® is also approved in Australia, Israel and Switzerland. Information about the trial is available at ClinicalTrials.gov:NCT04935177About IDEFIRIX® (imlifidase) Imlifidase is an antibody-cleaving enzyme originating from Streptococcus pyogenes that specifically targets and cleaves immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and inhibits IgG-mediated immune response.8 It has a rapid onset of action, cleaving IgG-antibodies and inhibiting their activity within hours after administration. Imlifidase has conditional marketing approval in Europe and is marketed under the trade name IDEFIRIX for the desensitization treatment of highly sensitized adult kidney transplant patients with a positive crossmatch against an available deceased donor. The use of IDEFIRIX should be reserved for patients who are unlikely to be transplanted under the available kidney allocation system, including prioritization programs for highly sensitized patients.8 IDEFIRIX was reviewed as part of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) PRIority Medicines (PRIME) program, which supports medicines that may offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments or benefit patients without treatment options.8The efficacy and safety of imlifidase as a pre-transplant treatment to reduce donor-specific IgG antibodies was studied in four phase 2 single-arm, studies in EU and US as well as a randomized, controlled Phase 3 study in US.5,7,10-11 Hansa is collecting further clinical evidence and will submit additional efficacy and safety data based on one observational follow-up study and one post-approval efficacy study. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for imlifidase in February of 2026 and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of December 19, 2026.Full EU product information can be accessed via the initial Summary of Product Characteristics foundhere. About kidney failure Kidney disease can progress to kidney failure or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), identified when a patient's kidney function is less than 15%.12 ESRD poses a significant health burden, affecting nearly 2.5 million patients worldwide.12 A kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for suitable patients with ESRD because it offers improved survival and quality of life benefits, and is cost savings compared to long-term dialysis. There are approximately 170,000 kidney patients in the U.S. and Europe waiting for a new kidney. お知らせ • Apr 29

Genethon and Hansa Biopharma Announces Data from Gnt-018-Ides Trial Supports Feasibility of Imlifidase as Pret Treatment for Patients with Crigler-Najjar Syndrome Who Are Immune to Aav Genethon and Hansa Biopharma announced that a patient with a rare liver disease and immunity to the AAV vector has been successfully treated with Genethon's AAV-based GNT0003 gene therapy for Crigler-Najjar syndrome, following prior administration of imlifidase, an enzyme capable of temporarily inhibiting the immune response. This encouraging result, achieved in a clinical trial, is a significant advance in the treatment of patients with immunity to AAVs who were previously ineligible for clinical trials and existing gene therapy treatments. Gene therapy involves injecting a gene drug into an organism using a vector, a "means of transport" usually derived from viruses, such as AAVs (adeno-associated viruses), which are commonly used for gene therapy in for example neuromuscular, liver, and eye diseases. It is estimated that one in three people is naturally immune to AAVs, thereby excluding a large number of patients from the possibility of benefiting from gene therapy using an AAV vector. To evaluate potential options for treating patients with natural immunity to AAVs, researchers at Genethon tested imlifidase, an enzymes developed by Hansa Biopharma, as a pre-treatment. This enzyme is capable of cleaving IgG, thereby rapidly and significantly reducing the level of anti-AAV antibodies and allowing the administration of a gene therapy drug candidate. Dr. Jeremy Do Cao (Beclere Hospital, AP-HP, France) presented at the 2025 congress of theEuropean Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ESGCT), the results of using imlifidase as a pre-treatment for GNT0003 gene therapy in a patient with a severe form of Crigler-Najj syndrome who is naturally immune to the AAV8 vector, as part of the clinical trial (GNT-018-IDES) conducted by Genethon in collaboration with Hansa Biopharma. In this first patient treated, the study demonstrated: the feasibility and safety of this approach: imlifidase administered prior to GNT0003 gene therapy successfully cleaved and inactivated the patient's antibodies and enabled treatment with GNT0003. No severe side effects related to GNT0003 or imlifidase were reported. initial efficacy data: GNT0003, Genethon's gene therapy drug candidate significantly lowered the patient's birubin levels, enabling her to stop hours of daily phototherapy, which had been essential to her survival until then. The phototherapy has been interrupted sixteen weeks after the injection, as planned in the protocol. Additional data will be needed to confirm this efficacy in the longer term. This is the first time that gene therapy has been successfully administered to a patient with Crigler-Najajjar syndrome who has antibodies against AAV8. If the results are confirmed in the next stages of the trial, this approach could become a promising option for patients with antibodies to AAVs, who are currently ineligible for clinical trials and existing Gene therapy treatments. A first gene therapy drug, to which Genethon contributed, has been approved for marketing for spinal muscular atrophy. With more than 240 scientists and experts, Genethon's goal is to develop innovative therapies that change the lives of patients suffering from rare genetic diseases. Thirteen gene therapy products developed by Genethon or to which Genethon has contributed are currently undergoing clinical trials for diseases of the liver, blood, immune system, muscles, and eyes. Seven other products are in preparation for clinical trials over the next five years. お知らせ • Oct 04

Hansa Biopharma AB Announces Positive Topline Results from the US Phase 3 ConfIdeS Trial of imlifidase Hansa Biopharma AB announced positive topline results from the US Phase 3 ConfIdeS trial of imlifidase, evaluating 12-month kidney function in highly sensitized (cPRA 99.9%) adult kidney transplant patients with positive crossmatch against a deceased donor, versus the control arm. The trial was well conducted, with patient retention in excess of 90%, and met the primary endpoint of kidney function at 12 months as measured by mean estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) with a p-value of <0.0001. The Company plans to submit a BLA under the accelerated approval pathway to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2025. In the trial, the control arm allowed for a range of treatment options, including remaining on dialysis awaiting a more compatible organ offer, transplantation using off-label desensitization approaches, or transplantation with a compatible organ. A key secondary outcome relating to dialysis independence at 12 months was also statistically significant in favor of imlifidase (p=0.0007). Imlifidase was generally well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with previous clinical trial experience. Full results from the Phase 3 ConfIdeS trial will be submitted to a medical congress in 2026.

Hansa Biopharma AB Announces Positive Data from Treatment with Imlifidase Prior to the Administration of Gene Therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Hansa Biopharma AB announced topline results from three patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treated with Hansa's imlifidase prior to receiving Sarepta's ELEVIDYS (delandistrogene moxeparvovec-rokl) in the SRP-9001-104 trial. After one dose of imlifidase, three patients experienced a rapid reduction of IgG antibodies, to levels 95% less than baseline. In addition, in these three patients pre-existing anti-AAV antibodies were reduced below a kilometre of 1:400, which enabled treatment with ELEVIDYS. The safety profile of imlifidase was in keeping with prior experience and the trial did not generate any new safety signals. Twelve weeks after administration of the gene therapy, patients in the trial demonstrated evidence of AAV-mediated transduction and expression of micro-dystrophin, however with levels lower than seen in other trials with ELEVIDYS. Based on these outcomes, Hansa and Sarepta will discuss appropriate next steps for the program. お知らせ • Jul 30

Hansa Biopharma Presents Positive Outcomes of Five-Year Follow-Up Study of Imlifidase in Kidney Transplantation at ESOT Congress 2025 in London Hansa Biopharma AB announced the presentation of its five year extended pooled analysis including data from the 17-HMedIdeS-14 study, an international long-term follow-up study of patients who have received a kidney transplant following desensitization with imlifidase, at the 2025 International Transplant Congress of the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT), taking place in London, June 29 - July 2. Massimo Mangiola, PhD, NYU Langone Transplant Institute, will present the outcomes of the extended pooled analysis including data from The 17-HMedIdeS -14 study, presented at the American Transplant Congress (ATC) 2024, and published as a letter to the editor in the American Journal of Transplantation. The extended pooled analysis, including data from the 17-HMedIdeS-14 study, showed sustained positive outcomes out to five years of highly sensitized patients who received an imlifidase-enabled kidney transplant. After five years, the patient survival rate was 90% (reflecting three deaths occurring between six months and one year) and graft survival (death censored) was 82%, in line with outcomes seen at three-years. At five years, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) or kidney function was 50 mL/min/m in the imlifidase treated patients. eGFR is a measure of how well the kidneys are working in the body - higher eGFR indicates better kidney function. For many kidney transplant recipients three years post-transplant the mean eGFR is anywhere between 40-60 ml/min per 1.73 m with continued decline of eGFR function at five years post-transplant. 17-HMedIdeS-14 is part of the HMedIdeS clinical program for imlifidase. The program includes four global phase 2 trials (13-HMedIdeS-02, 13-HMedIdeS-03, 14-HMedIdeS-04 and 15-HMedIdeS-06), one US open-label phase 3 trial (ConfIdeS), a long-term follow up study (17-HMedIdeS-14) and a post-authorization efficacy and safety study in Europe (PAES). The 17-HMedIdeS-14 study included patients who consented to long-term follow-up and had previously received an imlifidase-enabled transplant in Hansa's phase 2 studies. The 5-year extended pooled analysis is a continuation of the analysis at 3-years of crossmatch positive only patients published in the American Journal of Transplantation. お知らせ • May 14

Anti-GBM is a rare, severe autoimmune condition affecting around 1.6 people per million annually.1 Imlifidase has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of anti-GBM disease by both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Enrolment completion was originally planned for 2025. Anti-GBM is Hansa Biopharma's most advanced program in the autoimmune space. GOOD-IDES-02 is an open label, multi-center Phase 3 trial involving over 40 centers across the US, UK, and EU. A total of 50 patients have been enrolled in the trial. In the trial, 25 patients were randomized to receive imlifidase in combination with standard of care (SoC), consisting of a combination of immunosuppressives, glucocorticoids, and plasma exchange, and 25 patients received only SoC. The primary objective of the study is to assess the superior effect on kidney function of imlifidase in combination with SoC versus SoC alone in the treatment of patients affected by severe anti-GBM disease. The performance of the treatment is assessed at 6 months through the evaluation of renal function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and need of dialysis. In addition, the safety profile and efficacy on pulmonary symptoms and health related quality of life aspects are evaluated. お知らせ • Dec 03

Antibodies against AAV vectors remain a major challenge, as their presence in patients excludes them from entering clinical studies with potentially curative gene therapy treatments and from access to currently marketed and future gene therapies. GNT-018-IDES, sponsored by Genethon, is a single arm Phase 2 trial with a total of three patients aged =18 years with Crigler-Najjar syndrome and pre-formed anti-AVV8 antibodies and requiring phototherapy. Once screened, patients will undergo a three-month observational period before being dosed with imlifidase followed by GNT-0003. Genethon and Hansa expect to communicate data from the trial in 2025. GNT-0003 is currently being evaluated in a pivotal clinical trial following the positive results of the phase 1-2 dose escalation study showing safety and efficacy of GNT-0003, and was granted PRIME priority drug status from the EMA. If successful, GNT-0003 would be the first gene therapy treatment for Crigler-Najjar syndrome. お知らせ • Nov 20

Hansa Biopharma's Hnsa-5487 Achieves Rapid and Highly Robust Igg Reduction by More Than 95% and Clear Redosing Potential in First-In-Human Trial Hansa Biopharma AB, announced positive results from a 12-month follow up analysis from the NICE-01 trial of HNSA-5487, the Company's next generation immunoglobulin G (IgG)-cleaving molecule, assessing IgG recovery, immunogenicity and redosing potential. In the NICE-01 trial, HNSA-5487 demonstrated rapid and highly robust reduction of IgG levels by more than 95% within a few hours post treatment. In a 12-month followup analysis IgG levels returned to normal range six months after initial dosing. This confirms that HNSA-5487 mirrors the extremely high efficacy of imlifidase, the Company's first-generation IgG-cleaving enzyme, in reducing total IgG levels. It is in preclinical development and is designed to enable expansion into a large spectrum of potential indications, including relapsing autoimmune diseases and gene therapy, as well as oncology indications. The lead molecule in the NiceR program is HNSA-5487. Imlifidase is an antibody-cleaving enzyme originating from Streptococcus pyogenes that specifically targets and cleaving IgG (IgG) antibodies and inhibits IgG-mediated immune response. It has a rapid onset of action, cleaving IgG-antibodies and inhibiting their activity within hours after administration. Imlifidase has conditional marketing approval in Europe and is marketed under the trade name IDEFIRIX®? for the desensitization treatment of highly sensitized adult kidney transplant patients with a positive crossmatch against an available deceased donor. The use of IDEFIRIX should be reserved for patients who are unlikely to be transplanted under the available kidney allocation system, including prioritization programs for highly sensitized patients. IDEFIRIX was reviewed as part of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Priority Medicines (PRIME) program, which supports medicines that may offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments or benefit patients without treatment options. The efficacy and safety of imlifidase as a pre-transplant treatment to reduce donor-specific IgG was studied in four phase 2 open-label, single-arm, six-month clinical trials. Hansa is collecting further clinical evidence and will submit additional efficacy and safety data based on one observational follow-up study and one post-approval efficacy study. Full product information can be accessed via the initial Summary of Product Characteristics found here. MOGAD is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system characterized by attacks of immune-mediated antibody predominantly targeting the optic nerves, brain, and spinal cord. It is associated with the presence of antibodies directed against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). MOG is found in the myelin that insulates the nerves of the central nervous system, which consists of the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The antibody attack on MOG disrupts the transmission of nerve signals in the body and causes a variety of symptoms including changes in vision, weakness and numbness of the limbs, andalysis. MOGAD affects 2 - 3.4 in every 100,000 people worldwide and approximately 30% of all cases are in children. お知らせ • Aug 23

Hansa Biopharma Announces Full Results from 16-HMedIdeS-12 Phase 2 Trial in Patients with Antibody Mediated Rejection Episodes Following Kidney Transplantation Hansa Biopharma announced full results from the 16-HMedIdeS-12 phase 2 trial in patients with antibody mediated rejection (AMR) episodes following a kidney transplant demonstrating that imlifidase significantly reduced donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) within the first five days of treatment. In the trial, the primary endpoint was the maximum reduction in DSA level at any time point during the 5 days following the start of treatment. Patients treated with imlifidase demonstrated a statistically significant reduction of DSAs by 94.4% compared to a 35.6% (p-value: <0.001) reduction in patients who received standard of care (plasma exchange, or PE). DSA levels subsequently returned to approximately 70% of the initial level in both treatment arms. The secondary endpoint investigated overall kidney function following treatment. The imlifidase arm demonstrated a 74% six-month graft survival and eGFR of 30mL/min/1.73m2. A 100% six-month graft survival and eGFR of 33mL/min/1.73m2 was observed in the PE arm. Given the heterogeneity of the patient population, the trial was not designed nor sufficiently powered to be able show a statistically significant difference in the secondary outcome measures. Imlifidase demonstrated a safety profile consistent with previous clinical trials. The AMR patient population is heterogeneous, consisting of both chronic patients - those who experience slow rejection after a transplant, and which often results in irreversible damage to the organ - and acute patients who experience AMR early post-transplant. Additionally, AMR can be driven by a combination of antibodies and T-cells-mediated action (CMR - cell mediated rejection), creating additional complexity when it comes to treatment strategy. Treatment guidelines indicate reduction of DSA levels as one of the main goals of any AMR treatment. To date, there are no approved therapies for the treatment of AMR, and all current treatments including standard of care are used off-label. お知らせ • Dec 14

Hansa Biopharma Announces Positive High-Level Data from the 15-HMedIdeS-09 Phase 2 Trial Hansa Biopharma, "Hansa" announced positive high-level data from the 15-HMedIdeS-09 phase 2 trial that demonstrated imlifidase was safe and well tolerated when administered prior to standard of care, including rapid improvement in disease-related efficacy measures. Further analysis of efficacy data will be conducted in 2024. 15-HMedIdeS -09 is an open-label, single arm, trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of imlifidase in GBS patients in combination with standard of care (SoC) intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). GBS is a rare, acute, paralyzing, inflammatory disease of the peripheral nervous system caused by the immune system damaging nerve cells and structures. It affects 1-2 in 100,000 people annually. In GBS, rapid onset and progression of muscle weakness occurs and can lead to severe paralysis of the arms and legs. Approximately 25% of patients require mechanical ventilation for days to months and 20% are unable to walk after six months. Even with current standard of care - either plasma exchange or immunoglobin therapy - GBS is fatal in 3-7% of cases. Imlifidase was safe and Well tolerated, and when compared to previously published data, a rapid improvement across several efficacy outcome measures was observed in patients treated with imlifidase in combination with standard of care. All subjects received a full dose of imlifidase, and no serious adverse events caused by imlifidase infusion related reactions were recorded. Autoimmune diseases form a group of serious diseases caused by the immune system attacking the body. In many autoimmune diseases the immune system mistakenly recognizes the body's own proteins as foreign and mounts an immune response, creating antibodies to attack the body's own cells and tissues. Pathogenic IgG can contribute to a broad spectrum of autoimmune diseases. Hansa is exploring how imlifidase may be able to prevent or slow the progression of these diseases and their debilitating, life-threatening symptoms. Imlifidase is currently being studied in the following autoimmune diseases: anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and ANCA-associated vasculitis. In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Orphan Drug Designation to imlifidase for the treatment of GBS. Despite treatment with current standard of care, GBS has a serious long-term impact on the patients' work and private life, even 3-6 years after the onset of illness. Recovery can be slow and take years. Persistent disability is seen in 20%-30% of adult patients and severe fatigue is a sequel of GBS in two thirds of adult patients. お知らせ • Nov 29

Hansa Biopharma Announces Results from an Extended Pooled Analysis Using Data from the 17-Hmedides-14 Study, an International Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Patients Who Have Received A Kidney Transplant Following Desensitization with Imlifidase, Showing Sustained Positive Outcomes Out to 5 Years in the Majority of Highly Sensitized Patients Who Received an Imlifidase-Enabled Kidney Transplant Hansa Biopharma announced results from an extended pooled analysis using data from the 17-HMedIdeS-14 study, an international long-term follow-up study of patients who have received a kidney transplant following desensitization with imlifidase, showing sustained positive outcomes out to 5 years in the majority of highly sensitized patients who received an imlifidase-enabled kidney transplant. After 5 years, the patient survival rate was 90% (three deaths occurring between six months and one year, and no deaths occurring between one and five years) and graft survival (death censored) was 82%, in line with outcomes seen at 3-years post-transplant. At five years, mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 50 mL/min/m2. eGFR is a measure of how well the kidneys are working in the body. The 17-HMedIdeS-14 study included patients who consented to long-term follow-up and had previously received an imlifidase-enabled transplant in Hansa's phase 2 studies. The 5-year extended pooled analysis is a continuation of the analysis at 3-years of crossmatch positive only patients published in the American Journal of Transplantation. Hansa is continuing to analyze the data from 17-HMedIdeS-14 along with the extended pooled analysis and plans to share further data in 2024. Imlifidase is a promising new strategy for desensitization of transplant patients with donor-specific anti-HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigens) antibodies (DSAs). Highly sensitized patients have high levels of preformed antibodies that can damage the transplant. Once they inactivated with imlifidase, there is a window of opportunity for the transplant to take place. By the time the body starts to synthesize new IgG, the patient will be receiving post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy to reduce the risk of organ rejection. お知らせ • Oct 10
Hansa Biopharma Announces Encouraging High-Level Results for First-In-Human Trial of HNSA-5487 Hansa Biopharma announced high-level results from NICE-01, the first-in-human trial for HNSA-5487. Results showed the molecule was safe and well tolerated. Fast and complete depletion of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies was observed at increasing doses in all subjects. Pharmacokinetics (PK) was in line with expectations and pharmacodynamics (PD) (efficacy on IgG cleavage) showed a fast and complete cleavage of IgG to F(ab')2- and Fc-fragments with increasing doses. NICE-01 is a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single ascending doses of HNSA-5487 administered as a single intravenous (IV) infusion. The trial included a total of 36 healthy male and female adult participants. HNSA-5487 is the company's lead candidate in the Novel Immunoglobulin Cleaving Enzymes for repeat Dosing (NiceR) program. The NiceR program aims to develop next-generation enzymes with lower immunogenicity that would potentially allow for repeat dosing in a range of indications including IgG-driven autoimmune diseases where patients experience flares, transplantation where repeat dosing would be beneficial, gene therapy and oncology. Analysis of additional exploratory endpoints on IgG recovery and immunogenicity is now being conducted, with follow up on all subjects for 12 months. This analysis will serve as key input in determining the further clinical development program, including selection of indications. お知らせ • Sep 03

Hansa Biopharma Announces First Patient Treated with Imlifidase in an Investigator-Initiated Phase 2 Study in Anca-Associated Vasculitis Hansa Biopharma announced first patient treated with imlifidase in an investigator-initiated phase 2 study in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody ("ANCA")-associated vasculitis. This is the first study evaluating imlifidase, Hansa's first-generation IgG-cleaving enzyme, in this patient population. The study is a single center, single arm, phase 2 trial led by Dr. Adrian Schreiber and Dr. Philipp Enghard, at Charite Universitatsmedizin, Berlin, Germany. The primary objective of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of imlifidase together with standard of care in the treatment of patients with pulmonary hemorrhage due to severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. A total of 10 patients with severe ANCA- associated vasculitis and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ("ARDS") due to pulmonary hemorrhage will be treated with imlifidase on top of standard of care (consisting of standard immunosuppression as per center protocol and intensive support care). Efficacy and safety of imlifidases will be assessed by evaluating ANCA antibody seroconversion and titers, adverse events, mortality, as well as amelioration of lung and renal function over a 6-month observation period. ANCA-associated vascul inflammation is a group of conditions that affect approximately 30 people in a million annually in the EU and US. It is characterized by the presence of IgG anti-neutrophil Cytoplasmatic antibodies directed against antigens expressed by the neutrophils, a type of white blood cell part of the body's immune system response. The consequent activation of neutrophils by the ANCA antibodies causes blood vessel damage that can affect multiple organs, most frequently lungs and kidneys, where it leads to rapidly deteriorating organ function. The progress of the disease results in end stage kidney disease in 25% of patients. The most severe cases involving lungs lead to pulmonary hemorrhage with consequent respiratory failure. お知らせ • Jul 12
Hansa Biopharma Receives Provisionally Approval in Australia as Desensitization Treatment in Highly Sensitized Patients Prior to Kidney Transplantation Hansa Biopharma announced that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration has provisionally approved Idefirix (imlifidase) as desensitization treatment for highly sensitized patients prior to kidney transplantation from both living and deceased donors. The provisional approval has a duration of two years and was based on data from Hansa's phase 2 studies that included highly sensitized patients who received a kidney from either a living (17%) or deceased donor (83%) following desensitization treatment with imlifidase. The use of Idefirix should be reserved for patients who are unlikely to be transplanted under the available kidney allocation system, including prioritization programs for highly sensitized patients. Idefirix was reviewed as part of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) PRIority Medicines (PRIME) program, which supports medicines that may offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments or benefit patients without treatment options. In July 2023 the Australian Therapeutic goods Administration ("TGA") included Idefirix (im lifidase) on the Australian Register of therapeutic Goods as desensitization treatment For highly sensitized adult kidney transplant candidates prior to kidney transplantation from a donor against whom there is a positive cross-match. This indication allows transplants from either living or deceased donor kidneys. Imlifidase is a promising new strategy for desensitization of transplant patients with donor-specific anti-HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigens) antibodies (DSAs). Highly sensitized patients have high levels of these preformed antibodies that can bind to the donor organ and damage the transplant. Once they are inactivated with imlifidase, there is a window of opportunity for the transplant to take place. By the time the body starts to synthesize new IgG, the patient will be receiving post-transplant immunosuppressive therapy to reduce the risk of organ rejection. The efficacy and safety of imlifidase as a pre-transplant treatment to reduce donor-specific IgG was studied in four phase 2 open-label, single-arm, six-month clinical trials. Hansa is collecting further clinical evidence and will submit additional efficacy and safety data based on one observational follow-up study and one post-approval efficacy study. お知らせ • May 30
Hansa Biopharma Announces First Patient Dosed with Imlifidase in a Global Pivotal Phase 3 Trial in Anti-Inaugular Basement Membrane (anti-GBM) Disease Hansa Biopharma announced the first patient has been dosed with imlifidase in the GOOD-IDES-02 trial, a global pivotal phase 3 trial in anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease. GOOD-IDES-02 is an open label, multi-center, phase 3 trial of 50 patients. A total of 30-40 centers are expected to be included in the study across the US, UK, and EU. The primary objective of the study is to assess the superior effect of imlifidase in combination with standard of care (SoC) versus SoC alone (consisting of a combination of immunosuppressives, glucocorticoids, and plasma exchange) in the treatment of patients affected by severe anti-GBM disease. The performance of the treatment is assessed through the evaluation of renal function at 6 months as measured by filtration rate and need of dialysis. In addition, the safety profile and efficacy on pulmonary symptoms and health related quality of life aspects will be explored. The study follows a completed investigator-initiated phase 2 trial, which concluded that imlifidase therapy leads to rapid clearance of anti-GBM antibodies, with two-thirds of patients achieving dialysis independence six months after treatment compared to 18% in a historical control cohort. Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, also known as Good pasture disease, is a rare, severe autoimmune condition affecting around 1.6 people per million annually with majority of patients losing their kidney function. In anti-GBM disease, the immune system mistakenly develops antibodies against an antigen intrinsic to the glomerular basement membrane, resulting in an acute immune attack of the kidneys and, in around half of the patients, also the lungs. Approximately two thirds of anti-GBM patients will experience kidney failure and require long-term dialysis while awaiting potential kidney transplantation. Some patients may also experience bleeding from the lungs. In one out of six patients, anti-GBM disease can become fatal during the acute phase. Imlifidase has been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of anti-GBM disease by both the U.S. FDA and the European Medicinal Agency (EMA). お知らせ • Jan 31

Hansa Biopharma Announces Positive Reimbursement Decision for Idefirix[®] (Imlifidase) in the Czech Republic Hansa Biopharma announced that it has attained reimbursement in the Czech Republic for its first-in-class treatment, Idefirix®, for the desensitization treatment of highly sensitized adult patients prior to kidney transplant from a deceased donor. Between January and October 2022, a total of 386 kidney transplants from deceased donors were performed in the Czech Republic, while approximately 400 patients remained on the kidney transplant waiting list. Highly sensitized patients have antibodies with a broad reactivity against a wide pool of potential donors, so finding a matched organ for these patients is particularly challenging. As a result, highly sensitized patients end up spending a longer than average time on transplant waiting lists with an increased risk of dying while waiting for a compatible donor. The decision to implement Idefirix® marks an important milestone for highly sensitized patients in the Czech Republic as they may now be desensitized using Idefirix® to enable kidney transplantation. お知らせ • Feb 27
Hansa Biopharma AB Announces Grant of Early Access Post Marketing Authorization for its First-In-Class Treatment Idefirix® (imlifidase) Hansa Biopharma AB (‘Hansa’) announced that its first-in-class treatment Idefirix® (imlifidase) has been granted early access post marketing authorization (Autorisation d'accès précoce) in France by French HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé) for use in the desensitization of highly sensitized adult patients prior to kidney transplant, in accordance with the patient population specified in the Marketing Authorization received from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The aim of early access programs in France is to accelerate access to innovative medicines before (AP1) or after (AP2) marketing authorization (and before completion of the full P&R process), as in the case of Idefirix® when all the following conditions stipulated in article L.5121-12 of the French Public Health Code (CSP) are met: There is no appropriate treatment available on the market; The initiation of the treatment cannot be deferred; The efficacy and safety of the medicinal product are strongly presumed based on the results of clinical trials; and The medicinal product is presumed to be innovative, notably compared with a clinically relevant comparator. The approval of this early access program for Idefirix® is valid for a year from the date of decision, funded through the National Security System, and is effective across kidney transplant centers in France. The authorization has been granted based on Hansa's dossier submitted in December 2021, which rendered a positive opinion of the Transparency Commission. Full details of the early access program can be found at the HAS website. Approximately 3,600 kidney transplantations are carried out annually in France, with more than 80% transplanted from deceased donors. According to the Agence de Biomédecine, in 2020 hyperimmune patients represented 11.1% of kidney transplant recipients, while the proportion of hyperimmune patients on the active renal transplant waiting list was 23.7%. Long-term dialysis can place a significant burden on patients and on healthcare systems and is associated with a reduction in health-related quality of life and increased risk of mortality and hospitalization. Commercial launch and market access efforts for Idefirix® in Europe continue to progress. Pricing and reimbursement processes have been completed in Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as on an individual hospital basis in Finland and Greece. Market access procedures are ongoing in 14 countries including Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom (U.K.). A Health Technology Assessment (HTA) dossier for Spain was submitted in January 2022, which completed HTA filings in all of the five larger markets in Europe. お知らせ • Feb 26

The approval of this early access program for Idefirix® is valid for a year from the date of decision, funded through the National Security System, and is effective across kidney transplant centers in France. The authorization has been granted based on Hansa's dossier submitted in December 2021, which rendered a positive opinion of the Transparency Commission. Full details of the early access program can be found at the HAS website. Approximately 3,600 kidney transplantations are carried out annually in France, with more than 80% transplanted from deceased donors. According to the Agence de Biomédecine, in 2020 hyperimmune patients represented 11.1% of kidney transplant recipients, while the proportion of hyperimmune patients on the active renal transplant waiting list was 23.7%. Long-term dialysis can place a significant burden on patients and on healthcare systems and is associated with a reduction in health-related quality of life and increased risk of mortality and hospitalization. Commercial launch and market access efforts for Idefirix® in Europe continue to progress. Pricing and reimbursement processes have been completed in Sweden and the Netherlands, as well as on an individual hospital basis in Finland and Greece. Market access procedures are ongoing in 14 countries including Germany, France, Italy and the United Kingdom (U.K.). A Health Technology Assessment (HTA) dossier for Spain was submitted in January 2022, which completed HTA filings in all of the five large markets in Europe. お知らせ • Dec 29
Hansa Biopharma Enrolls First Patient in U.S. Randomized, Controlled Pivotal Trial of imlifidase in Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Patients Hansa Biopharma AB (publ) announces that the first patient in its U.S. open-label, randomized, controlled pivotal trial ("ConfIdeS") has been enrolled at the Columbia University Medical Center, New York. The ConfIdeS trial is evaluating imlifidase as a potential desensitization therapy to enable kidney transplants in highly sensitized patients waiting for a deceased donor kidney through the U.S. kidney allocation system. The trial is expected to randomize 64 highly sensitized kidney transplant patients with a cPRA of =99.9%, representing a subset of very highly sensitized patients that continue to be disadvantaged despite prioritization under the U.S. kidney allocation system. When a donor organ becomes available and a positive crossmatch with the intended recipient indicates that the organ is not compatible, the patient will be randomized to either imlifidase desensitization treatment or to a control arm that will receive standard of care (i.e. waiting for a more compatible kidney offer or receiving an experimental desensitization treatment). The study's primary endpoint for imlifidase to evaluate benefit in transplanting highly sensitized patients is kidney graft function at 12 months, measured by eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate).
