Argenx is conducting a pivotal study titled ‘A Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group, 2-Arm, Multicenter, Operationally Seamless Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacodynamics, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of Efgartigimod PH20 SC in Participants Aged 18 Years and Older With Active Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy.’ The study aims to assess the treatment response of efgartigimod PH20 SC compared to a placebo in adults with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, including subtypes like dermatomyositis and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy. The significance lies in its potential to offer a new therapeutic option for these conditions.
The intervention being tested is efgartigimod PH20 SC, a biological treatment administered via subcutaneous injection. It is coformulated with rHuPH20, a permeation enhancer, and is intended to improve treatment response in patients.
The study follows a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design with a parallel-group model. Participants and investigators are masked to the treatment allocation, ensuring unbiased results. The primary purpose is treatment evaluation.
The study began on October 12, 2022, with its primary completion and estimated completion dates yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on July 22, 2025, indicating ongoing progress.
This study update may positively influence Argenx’s stock performance and investor sentiment, as successful results could position the company as a leader in treating idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Competitors in the biopharmaceutical industry will likely monitor these developments closely.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
