Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. Announces Findings from 12-Month Interim Analysis of Sibeprenlimab for the Treatment of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) in Adults Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Otsuka) announced that findings from a 12-month interim analysis of sibeprenlimab for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in adults were presented in a late-breaking presentation session at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) annual Kidney Week meeting in Houston, Texas. Summary data was simultaneously published in the online version of The New England Journal of Medicine. 12-month interim analysis outcomes for the novel APRIL antibody drug candidate sibeprenlimab, targeting IgA nephropathy, as part of the Phase 3 VISIONARY trial. Study outcome on proteinuria measured at 12 months demonstrated that sibeprenlimab achieved a 54.3% (95% confidence interval [CI, 46.4% to 60.9%) placebo-adjusted reduction. Trial outcomes presented at a late-breaking presentation session of the American Society of Nephrology (asN) Kidney Week, November 6 to 9, 2025. Proteinuria reduction is a recognized surrogate marker correlating with delaying progression to kidney failure. Otsuka filed a Biologics License Application (BLA) for sibeprenlimab with the U.S. FDA and received a Priority Review designation from the agency, with a target action date (PDUFA date) of November 28, 2025. Twelve-month data on proteinuria levels, measured as urine-protein-to-creatinine ratio in 24-hour urine collections (uPCR-24), as well as on safety, from the Phase 3 VISIONARY study (NCT05248646) of Sibeprenlimab were submitted as part of the BLA (Biologics License Application) submission to the U.S. FDA. The VISIONARY study, the largest Phase 3 IgAN trial conducted to date, also showed that patients taking sibeprenlimab experienced substantially reduced serum immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM), A PRol proliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL), galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and rates of hematuria, and delivered higher proteinuric remission versus placebo, which is consistent with APRIL inhibition. Consistent treatment effects with Sibeprenlimab at nine-month effects were seen across prespecified subgroups, including those patients prescribed or not prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors, varying baseline proteinuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), demographics, and prior immunosuppression. Sibeprenlimab works by blocking APRIL, which plays a key role in the process of IgAN pathogenesis and is an important initiating and sustaining factor in IgAN progression by promoting the production of pathogenic galactose-deficiency IgA1 (Gd -IgA1). In inhibition of APRIL results in reduced levels of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd- IgA1), which is implicated in the pathogenesis of IgAN.2 Sibeprenlimab is administered in a single-dose prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection every four weeks intended for self-administration. Otsuka filed a biologics License Application (BL a Biologics License Application ("BLA") for sibepren Limab with the U.S., and the U.S. FDA, and received a priority Review designation from the agencies, with a target action date ("PDUFA date") of November 28, 2025. 12-month data on proteinuria level, measured as urine-protein -to-creatinine ratios in 24-hour urine collections ("uPCR-24"), as well as on safety.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. and Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. Present Results from a Pre-specified Interim Analysis of the Phase 3 Vision Study Evaluating Sibeprenlimab, for the Treatment of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Otsuka) presented results from a pre-specified interim analysis of the Phase 3 VISIONARY study (NCT05248646) evaluating sibeprenlimab, for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in adults. Patients treated with sibeprenlimab achieved a 51.2% (P<0.0001) reduction in proteinuria (as measured by 24-hour uPCR [urine protein-to-creatinine ratio) at nine months of treatment when compared to placebo. The data were presented during a late-breaking clinical trials session at the European Renal Association (ERA) Congress in Vienna, Austria. The study, the Phase 3 IgAN trial conducted to date, also showed the safety profile of sibeprenlimab was favorable and consistent with previously reported data. Specifically, 76.3% of patients treated with sibepren Limab experienced any Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) versus 84.5% in the placebo group.1 Patients who experienced a serious TEAE were 3.9% treated with sibeprenab compared to 5.4% treated with placebo. Sibeprenlimab received Priority Review designation from the FDA last month following its BLA filing in March. Proteinuria reduction is a recognized surrogate marker correlating with delaying progression to kidney failure and has been used as an endpoint in IgAN clinical trials to support accelerated. regulatory approvals. Sibeprenlimib is an investigational monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits the activity of APRIL (A PRol proliferation-Inducing Ligand) in adults with IgAN. APRIL plays a key role in the 4-hit process of IgAN pathogenesis and is an important initiating and sustaining factor in IgAN progression by promoting the production of pathogenic Gd-IgA1 and immune complex formation. By selectively binding and inhibiting APRIL, sibeprenlimab reduces the amount of immunoglobulin A (IgA) and Gd-IgA 1 levels1. Lower levels of Gd-IgA2 in people with IgAN provide less substrate for immune complex formation7. Sibeprenlim AB is administered in a single-dose prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection every four weeks intended for self-administration or administration by caregiver, providing patients the option of convenience at home. The VISIONARY study continues in a blinded manner to evaluate the change in kidney function over 24 months as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and is expected to be an effective and safe approach for this progressive and irreversible kidney disease. The VISIONARY study continue in a blinded manner to evaluate The change in kidney function over 24 weeks as measured by estimated glomerultration rate (eGR) and is expected to be in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a target action date of November 28th, 2025.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Co. Ltd. (Otsuka) and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. Files Biologics License Application (BLA) for Sibeprenlimab in the Treatment of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Otsuka) and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. (OPDC) announced the filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for sibeprenlimab, an investigational monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits the activity of APRIL (A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand) in adults with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). APRIL plays a key role in the 4-hit process of IgAN pathogenesis and is an important initiating and sustaining factor in IgAN progression by promoting the production of pathogenic Gd-IgA1 and immune complex formation. Sibeprenlimab is a single-dose prefilled syringe for subcutaneous injection every four weeks intended for self-administration or administration by caregiver, providing patients the option of convenience at home. IgAN is a progressive, autoimmune, chronic kidney disease that is associated with a high risk for progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) over the lifetime of many patients. In 2024, the FDA granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation for sibeprenlimab following favorable results of the Phase 2 ENVISION clinical trial. This designation accelerates the development and regulatory review of potential new medicines intended to treat a serious condition and address a significant unmet medical need. If approved, sibeprenlimab would be administered via injection every four weeks, which would allow patients the convenience and option of self-administration in the home setting. The BLA submission, Otsuka's first, is supported by results from the Phase 2 ENVISION clinical trial (NCT04287985) and the Phase 3 VISIONARY clinical trial (NCT05248646), which met its primary endpoint by demonstrating that sibeprenlimab produced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in 24-hour uPCR (urine protein-to-creatine ratio) compared to placebo after nine months of treatment.4 In the trial, the safety profile of sibeprenlimab was favorable and consistent with previously reported data. The VISIONARY study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial consisting of approximately 530 adult patients (largest trial to date) with IgA nephropathy who were receiving standard-of-care therapy (defined as maximally tolerated ACE inhibitor or ARB +/- SGLT2 inhibitor), designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sibeprenlimab 400 mg administered subcutaneously every four weeks, compared to placebo. The primary efficacy endpoint is to evaluate the change in 24-hour uPCR at 9 months compared with baseline. The secondary endpoint is to evaluate the annualized slope of eGFR estimated over 24 months. Duyuru • Mar 18

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Announces Positive Results of Phase III Trial in Japan Showing Reduced Agitation in Patients with Alzheimer's Dia Treated with Brexpiprazole Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced positive results from a phase III clinical trial in Japan for brexpiprazole in the treatment of agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia. The trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03620981) was designed to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of one daily fixed dose (1mg/day or 2mg/day) of brexpiprazole in The treatment of patients with agitation associated with Alzheimer's dementia". It was a 10-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that comprised 410 patients, aged 55 to 90 years, with agitation associated with Alzheimer's Alzheimer's dementia. The primary endpoint was mean change from the baseline in the Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) total score at week 10. The study's primary endpoint was attained, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in the CMAI total score of the groups administered brexpiprazole 1mg/day (p value=0.0175) or 2mg/day (p value<0.0001) compared with the placebo group. Improvement was also observed in secondary endpoints such as Clinical Global Impression-Severity Illness (CGI-S) score in the 1 mg/day and 2 mg/day brexpiprazole groups compared with the placebo group. Brexpiprazole was generally well tolerated, and no new safety signals were observed. Additional analysis of the trial results is planned to further interpret the efficacy and safety of brexpiprazole for the treatment indication. Based on this study outcome Otsuka is planning a regulatory filing in Japan later in 2023 for an additional treatment indication for brexpiprazole. If approved, brexpiprazole would be the first pharmacological treatment indicated for agitation in patients with Alzheimer's dementia in Japan. Duyuru • Jun 21
