Aruvant Sciences presented clinical data on its gene therapy ARU-1801 for severe sickle cell disease (SCD) at the ASGCT annual meeting on May 16, 2022. The data indicates ARU-1801 significantly reduces vaso-occlusive events and hospitalization days for patients. This therapy uniquely employs reduced intensity conditioning, setting it apart from other treatments. In the ongoing MOMENTUM trial, participants showed durable responses with four out of five experiencing complete resolution of severe events. These findings may enhance patient quality of life and lower healthcare costs.

Roivant Sciences has appointed Dr. Srini Ramanathan as Chief Development Officer, bringing over 20 years of drug development experience from Horizon Therapeutics. Dr. Ramanathan has a proven track record in advancing clinical portfolios and has contributed to multiple drug approvals in virology and oncology. Roivant's subsidiaries, Proteovant Therapeutics and VantAI, have also established collaborations with Blueprint Medicines, Janssen, and Boehringer Ingelheim, focusing on innovative drug development with potential aggregate milestone payments exceeding $1 billion.

Dermavant Sciences announced positive results from the Phase 3 PSOARING 3 long-term extension study for tapinarof cream 1% in treating plaque psoriasis.
