Insights
Novartis's data presentations at upcoming medical conferences highlight significant long-term clinical evidence for two key immunology assets. The two-year efficacy and safety data from SUNSHINE and SUNRISE trials for Cosentyx in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) could strengthen its market position in this challenging inflammatory skin condition. More compelling is the 52-week data from the Phase III REMIX trials for remibrutinib in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), demonstrating sustained impact across multiple clinical endpoints.
What's particularly noteworthy is Novartis's confirmation of regulatory submission timelines for remibrutinib in CSU, with filings on track for first half of 2025. This oral BTK inhibitor represents a potential paradigm shift for CSU patients who remain symptomatic on antihistamines - a substantial unmet need. The pipeline expansion of remibrutinib beyond CSU into chronic inducible urticaria, HS, and food allergy demonstrates strategic portfolio deepening within immunology.
These developments position Novartis to potentially address significant treatment gaps in dermatological and allergic conditions that severely impact quality of life. The breadth of data (17 abstracts) suggests robust clinical evidence that could support adoption and reimbursement following potential approval.
Novartis's clinical data presentations highlight meaningful progress for two strategic immunology assets. The remibrutinib program deserves particular investor attention, as its regulatory submissions for CSU in 1H 2025 represent a near-term catalyst. As an oral BTK inhibitor, remibrutinib could significantly disrupt the CSU treatment landscape currently dominated by injectable biologics.
The expansion of remibrutinib's development into multiple immune-mediated conditions (CSU, chronic inducible urticaria, HS, and food allergy) demonstrates Novartis's strategy to maximize the commercial potential of this asset through indication expansion. This approach creates multiple shots on goal from a single molecule, enhancing the overall value proposition.
For Cosentyx, the two-year data in HS builds on its already established presence across multiple immunological conditions. This continued development helps defend and potentially grow its $4+ billion franchise against biosimilar competition expected in key markets later this decade.
These developments align with Novartis's broader strategic pivot toward innovative medicines following the Sandoz spin-off. The immunology therapeutic area represents a high-growth, high-margin opportunity where Novartis is establishing a differentiated portfolio beyond its traditional oncology strength. With multiple catalysts ahead, including the remibrutinib regulatory submissions, these programs merit close monitoring for their potential to drive medium-term growth.
- Two-year efficacy and safety data analyses from Phase III SUNSHINE and SUNRISE trials of continuous Cosentyx® (secukinumab) treatment in HS to be presented
- New analyses of 52-week data from Phase III REMIX pivotal trials of investigational remibrutinib, demonstrating impact in key clinical outcomes for patients with CSU also to be presented
- Regulatory submissions for remibrutinib as a treatment for CSU on track for filing in 1H 2025
Data presented at the congresses include long-term urticaria control, sleep, and activity analyses from the Phase III REMIX-1 and REMIX-2 studies evaluating investigational remibrutinib for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Additionally, long-term data from the Cosentyx® (secukinumab) Phase III SUNSHINE and SUNRISE trials in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and patient-reported outcomes from a Phase II trial evaluating remibrutinib in HS will be presented.
"Conditions like CSU and HS are more than just skin deep, often having a profound impact on patients' daily lives and activities," said Angelika Jahreis, Global Head, Development, Immunology, Novartis. "These data at AAAAI and AAD highlight our continued commitment to reimagine medicine and address treatment gaps for people with immune-mediated diseases. We are particularly excited about the potential for remibrutinib as a novel oral treatment for patients with CSU who remain symptomatic on antihistamines."
These CSU data will support regulatory submissions in the first half of 2025. In addition to CSU, remibrutinib is being investigated in other immune-mediated conditions, including chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), HS, and food allergy.
