Recent Developments
- Telavant: In October 2023, Roivant entered into a definitive agreement with Roche for the sale of Telavant. Roche will gain the rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize RVT-3101 in the US and Japan for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and potentially other diseases. Under the terms of the agreement, Roche will pay a purchase price of
$7.1 billion upfront and a milestone payment of$150 million payable upon the initiation of a Phase 3 trial in ulcerative colitis. Roivant owns75% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock of Telavant and Pfizer owns the remaining25% , in each case on an as-converted basis. Roivant’s net proceeds from the transaction are expected to be approximately$5.2 billion plus$110 million from the milestone payment. Regulatory filings in connection with the transaction have been submitted and the closing of the transaction remains on track for the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024.
- Immunovant: In September 2023, Immunovant announced initial data from the Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, and pharmacodynamic profiles of IMVT-1402 in healthy adults showed that subcutaneously administered doses of IMVT-1402 produced dose-dependent reductions in Immunoglobulin G, with no statistically significant dose-related decrease in serum albumin or increase in LDL cholesterol, strengthening IMVT-1402 as a potential best-in-class neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (FcRn) inhibitor. In October 2023, Immunovant announced the closing of an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement offering of common stock yielding approximately
$467 million in net proceeds to Immunovant, after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses. Roivant owns approximately55.2% of Immunovant as of November 3, 2023.
- Dermavant: For the second quarter ended September 30, 2023, Roivant reported VTAMA net product revenue of
$18.4M , representing a28% gross-to-net yield for the quarter. As of November 2023, over 250,000 VTAMA prescriptions have been written by approximately 12,800 unique prescribers for psoriasis, based on IQVIA data. Coverage has been expanded to 137 million US commercial lives and includes coverage by all three of the top pharmacy benefit managers.
In October 2023, Dermavant reported that in adult patients, VTAMA showed positive results from a Phase 4 open-label trial for the treatment of intertriginous plaque psoriasis -82.8% achieved an intertriginous Physician Global Assessment (iPGA) Score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and ≥2-grade improvement from baseline at Week 12, demonstrating compelling efficacy. Additionally, Dermavant reported in adults and children down to two years of age with atopic dermatitis, VTAMA showed rapid and significant onset of pruritus (itch) relief as early as 24 hours after initial application.
- Roivant: In September 2023, Roivant raised approximately
$200 million in a follow-on offering. Roivant reported cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately$1.4 billion at September 30, 2023. Giving effect to Immunovant’s October 2023 follow-on offering and expected cash proceeds from the pending sale of Telavant (including one-time milestone), Roivant’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash would have been approximately$7.0 billion . The acquisition of Telavant is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 or the first quarter of 2024.
Major Upcoming Milestones
- Immunovant expects additional IMVT-1402 data from the 600 mg multiple-ascending dose cohort in November 2023.
