Biohaven's BHV-1300 Achieves Advances in Targeted IgG Reduction Trials

Benzinga ·  Dec 16, 2024 20:33

Biohaven Ltd. (NYSE:BHVN) ("Biohaven"), a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of life-changing therapies to treat a broad range of rare and common diseases, today highlighted the achievement of several clinical and regulatory milestones across its proprietary Molecular Degrader of Extracellular Proteins (MoDE) platform as well as its glutamate modulation and ion channel programs.

Subcutaneously administered BHV-1300 achieved deep lowering of targeted IgG, with reductions > 60% in the lowest subcutaneous dose tested in the ongoing multiple ascending dose (MAD) study. Subcutaneous BHV-1300 achieved progressive reduction in IgG within hours of each weekly dose administration in the MAD, and pharmacodynamic effects were sustained relative to baseline over the four-week study period. BHV-1300 has been safe and well-tolerated across the Phase 1 study. There were no clinically significant effects on albumin or liver function, and no increases in cholesterol were noted. Further enhancing the competitive safety profile and as intentionally designed, plasma IgG3 levels were preserved through the end of study week 4 to allow for healthy immune effector functioning. All AEs were mild, any drug-related AE resolved, and there were no discontinuations due to study drug related AEs. The optimized subcutaneous formulation in the MAD also showed substantially less inter-patient variability compared to previously reported intravenous BHV-1300. Escalating dose level cohorts of subcutaneous BHV-1300 are ongoing to explore the full range of IgG reductions possible with BHV-1300 for a wide range of future disease indications.
