Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated Announces Positive Interim Analysis Results for Povetacicept in Rainier Phase 3 Trial Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated announced positive data from a pre-specified Week 36 interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 RAINIER trial of povetacicept, an engineered fusion protein and dual inhibitor of the BAFF (B cell activating factor) and APRIL (a proliferation inducing ligand) cytokines, in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). The trial met its primary objective. In the interim analysis population, patients treated with povetacicept achieved a 52.0% reduction from baseline in urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) at Week 36, with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 49.8% UPCR reduction compared to placebo (P<0.0001). For the first secondary endpoint, povetacicept treatment led to a 77.4% reduction from baseline in serum Gd-IgA1, resulting in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction of 79.3% (P<0.0001). Povetacicept was generally safe and well tolerated. RAINIER is a global Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pivotal trial of povetacicept 80 mg administered subcutaneously every four weeks versus placebo on top of standard of care. A total of 605 patients were randomized in the trial, N=557 are in the main cohort, of which N=199 are in the interim analysis population, and N=48 patients are in an exploratory cohort. These patients are representative of real world IgAN patients at risk of kidney disease progression. The median time from diagnosis of IgAN to randomization in the main cohort was approximately 3.8 years and the trial patients had high rates of background supportive care, with 97.8% of patients on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ACEi/ARBs), and 67.7% of patients on sodium-glucose co-transporter 2(SGLT2) inhibitors, the latter representing the highest percentage in recently completed IgAN trials. For the interim analysis, the trial’s primary endpoint is percent change from baseline in 24-hour UPCR, and the two alpha-controlled secondary endpoints are percent change from baseline in serum Gd-IgA1 and the proportion of patients to achieve hematuria resolution, all at Week 36. Exploratory endpoints for this interim analysis included the proportion of patients with 24-hour UPCR. Povetacicept was generally safe and well tolerated. The data below reflect 557 patients in the main cohort with a mean duration of treatment of 33.7 weeks for the povetacicept cohort and 33.4 weeks for placebo. Adverse Events Occurring During the Treatment Period in the Safety Population: Placebo N=185 n (%) Patients with any adverse event during the treatment emergent period 145 (78.4), Povetacicept N=372 n (%) Patients with any adverse event during the treatment emergent period 279 (75.0). Adverse events occurring in =10% of patients in either group: Upper respiratory tract infection 21 (11.4) for placebo, 68 (18.3) for povetacicept; Nasopharyngitis 23 (12.4) for placebo, 36 (9.7) for povetacicept; Injection site reactions 4 (2.2) for placebo, 54 (14.5) for povetacicept. Injection site reactions (ISR) were identified using a pre-specified set of Preferred Terms (including, for example, injection site reaction and injection site erythema). All ISRs were non-serious and mild or moderate in severity. Serious AEs occurred in 4.3% (8 out of 185 patients) of the placebo group and 3.0% (11 out of 372 patients) of the povetacicept group. The same incidence of SAEs of infection (0.5%) occurred in both the placebo and povetacicept groups. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted rolling review of the Biologics License Application (BLA) for povetacicept in IgAN. Vertex has already submitted several modules and will complete the full BLA submission by the end of March for potential accelerated approval. Vertex is using a priority review voucher to expedite the review of the povetacicept BLA from ten months to six months. Povetacicept is a dual inhibitor of the BAFF and APRIL cytokines, which promote B cell activation, differentiation and/or survival, and provides B cell control by inhibiting the ability of BAFF and APRIL to drive the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune diseases. Due to its engineered TACI domain, povetacicept has demonstrated improved binding affinity, potency, pharmacokinetics, and/or tissue distribution compared to other APRIL, BAFF, and dual BAFF+APRIL inhibitors in preclinical studies. Povetacicept has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of IgAN. Povetacicept is the only dual BAFF+APRIL inhibitor in pivotal trials for multiple kidney diseases. Expansion into additional indications for povetacicept is advancing with the ongoing Phase 2/3 OLYMPUS trial in primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) and the expected start of the ETNA Phase 2 trial in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in the first half of 2026. Povetacicept is an investigational agent and has not been approved by health authorities. Duyuru • Mar 05
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated Presents New Data on JOURNAVX for Effective Pain Management Following Aesthetic and Reconstructive Procedures Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated announced data from a Phase 4 study of JOURNAVX (suzetrigine), a prescription non-opioid pain signal inhibitor for the treatment of moderate-to-severe acute pain, in adults, that demonstrated effective pain management and enabled opioid-free recovery after a broad range of plastic surgical procedures. These data showed that the majority of patients (90.9%) in the study were opioid free through the end of treatment (up to 14 days), demonstrating the potential for JOURNAVX as a core element of opioid-free multimodal treatment for moderate-to-severe acute pain after aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. In contrast, the literature shows opioid-free rates of less than 10% with multimodal treatment without JOURNAVX. These data will be presented at the American Academy of Pain Medicine (AAPM) PainConnect 2026 meeting, March 5-8, 2026, in Salt Lake City, UT. This Phase 4 open-label, multicenter, single-arm study evaluated JOURNAVX when administered preoperatively and postoperatively as part of multimodal therapy, most commonly with acetaminophen and ibuprofen, in a range of reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgeries where patients typically experience moderate-to-severe pain and are typically treated with opioid therapy for at least 72 hours postoperatively. The study dosed 99 patients who underwent aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries, including reconstructive and aesthetic breast surgeries, liposuction or abdominoplasty with liposuction, or turbinoplasties. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved excellent, very good or good on the Patient Global Assessment scale at the end of treatment. The study showed that 90.7% of patients (95% CI: 83.1%, 95.7%) rated the effectiveness of JOURNAVX as part of multimodal treatment as excellent, very good or good. 90.9% of patients did not require any rescue opioids after surgery through the end of treatment (up to 14 days). Of the nine patients who received rescue opioids, the average use was approximately 2 tablets over 2 days. JOURNAVX was generally safe and well tolerated with no serious adverse events related to JOURNAVX. Adverse events were mild or moderate in severity and consistent with the postoperative setting. These data will be presented on March 6, 2026 during the AAPM meeting. Duyuru • Feb 13

Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated Presents New Data on CASGEVY, Including First-Ever Data in Children Ages 5-11 Years, at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Announces Plan for Global Regulatory Submissions Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated announced data from multiple studies demonstrating the clinical benefits of CASGEVY®? (exagamglogene autotemcel) in people ages 5-11 years and older living with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) or transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT). The results, including the first presentation of clinical data from pivotal studies in children ages 5-11 years, and longer-term data from the pivotal studies of people with severe SCD and TDT ages 12 years and older, will be presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. First presentation of data in children ages 5- 11 years treated with CASGEVY: In children with SCD, 11 patients have been dosed with CASGEVY in the Phase 3 CLIMB-151 clinical study, and all (4/4) patients with sufficient follow-up achieved the primary endpoint of being free from vaso-occlusive cancers (VOCs) for at least 12 consecutive months (VF12). In children with TDT, 13 patients have been dosed withASGEVY in the Phase3 CLIMB-141 clinical study, and all (6/6) patients with sufficient follow- up achieved the primary endpoint of transfusion independence for at least 12 consecutive months while maintaining a weighted average hemoglobin (Hb) of at least 9 g/dL (TI12). New longer-term data from the key clinical studies of CASGEVY in people 12 years and older will also be presented at ASH. These data, as of April 2025, continue to demonstrate the transformative, durable clinical benefits that CASGEVY provides to people living with SCD or TDT. TDT requires lifelong treatment and significant use of health care resources, and ultimately results in reduced life expectations, decreased quality of life and reduced lifetime earnings and productivity. Vertex recently received a Commissioner's National Priority Voucher for CASGEVY in the 5-11 years age group from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to accelerate the review of the sBLA once submitted. Products under the program will be subject to a 1-2-month review clock from the start of FDA's review and will also benefit from enhanced communication opportunities with the agency. The company may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. Duyuru • Nov 09
Vertex Presents Updated Phase 1/2 Data From RUBY-3 Study That Continue to Demonstrate Best-in-Class Potential for Povetacicept in Adults with IgA Nephropathy and Primary Membranous Nephropathy at American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated announced updated data for povetacicept (pove) in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) from the ongoing RUBY-3 trial at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2025 in Houston, Texas. Pove is an investigational recombinant fusion protein therapeutic and dual inhibitor of the BAFF (B cell activating factor) and APRIL (a proliferation inducing ligand) cytokines. Pove is the only BAFF+APRIL inhibitor in pivotal trials for multiple kidney diseases. Results were presented as a late-breaking oral presentation (SA-OR091) and included interim data from the open-label Phase 1/2 RUBY-3 trial, where adults with IgAN and pMN received pove subcutaneously every 4 weeks. The analysis included 21 participants with IgAN and 10 participants with pMN treated with pove at the 80mg dose, of which 17 participants and 5 participants, respectively, completed the Week 48 study visit. In IgAN, key efficacy findings for the pove 80mg cohort at 48 weeks showed a 64% decrease from baseline in mean 24-hour urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) stabilization with change from baseline in eGFR (mean±SE) of 3.3±3.1 mL/min/1.73m, 90% (9/10) of participants achieving hematuria resolution (defined as a decrease to negative or small levels of urine blood in participants with baseline levels of urine blood of moderate or large), and 53% of participants achieving clinical remission (defined as UPCR <0.5 g/g, negative hematuria, and <25% reduction in eGFR vs. baseline). In pMN, key efficacy findings for the pove 80mg cohort at 48 weeks showed an 82% decrease from baseline in mean 24-hour UPCR, eGFR stabilization with change from baseline in eGFR (mean±SE) of -0.3±3.4 mL/min/1.73m, and 40% of participants achieving complete clinical remission (defined as UPCR <0.5 g/g). Pove was generally safe and well tolerated with adverse events (AEs) that were mostly mild or moderate in severity. There were no serious adverse events related to povetacicept. The safety data is consistent with previous interim analyses, and the safety profile is similar between the IgAN and pMN cohorts. Vertex recently announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for pove in IgAN, and the Company expects to submit the first module of the Biologics License Application (BLA) rolling submission this year for potential accelerated approval. Vertex has notified the FDA of its intent to use a priority review voucher to expedite the review of the pove BLA in IgAN from ten months to six months. The Phase 3 RAINIER study is now fully enrolled. Vertex also received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for pove in pMN, and recruitment for the pivotal Phase 2/3 OLYMPUS trial is currently underway. pMN is the second indication in which pove has demonstrated best-in-class potential.
