Recommendation for adults and adolescents based on Phase 3 trials showing Dupixent significantly reduced itch and hives at 24 weeks compared to placebo If approved, Dupixent would be the first targeted medicine in over a decade indicated for CSU in the European Union (EU) TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS , Sept. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending the approval of Dupixent® (dupilumab) in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) in adults and adolescents. This recommendation covers those aged 12 years and above with moderate-to-severe disease, with inadequate response to histamine-1 antihistamines (H1AH) and who are naive to anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) therapy. A final decision is expected in the coming months. The positive CHMP opinion is supported by data from two trials in the LIBERTY-CUPID Phase 3 program (Study A and Study C), both of which demonstrated Dupixent significantly reduced itch and hives at 24 weeks compared to placebo. A third trial from the LIBERTY-CUPID program (Study B), conducted in a different CSU patient population, provided additional safety data. The safety results of the trials were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved indications. Adverse events (AEs) more commonly observed with Dupixent (≥5%) than placebo in the trials of adults and adolescents with CSU were injection site reaction, COVID-19, hypertension, CSU and accidental overdose. Dupixent is approved for CSU in certain adults and adolescents in several countries including Japan and the United States . Outside of approved jurisdictions, the safety and efficacy of Dupixent for CSU has not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority. About CSUCSU is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease driven in part by type 2 inflammation, which causes sudden and debilitating hives and recurring itch. CSU is typically treated with H1AH, medicines that target H1 receptors on cells to control symptoms of itch and urticaria. However, the disease remains uncontrolled despite H1AH treatment in many patients, some of whom are left with limited alternative treatment options. These individuals continue to experience symptoms that can be debilitating and significantly impact their quality of life. About DupixentDupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are two of the key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in more than 60 countries in one or more indications including certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), prurigo nodularis, CSU, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) in different age populations. More than 1,000,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.1 About Regeneron 's VelocImmune Technology Regeneron 's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron 's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial proportion of all original, FDA-approved fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes Dupixent® (dupilumab), Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb), Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn) and Veopoz® (pozelimab-bbfg). In addition, REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab) had been authorized by the FDA during the COVID-19 pandemic until 2024. Dupilumab Development ProgramDupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation. In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including chronic pruritus of unknown origin and lichen simplex chronicus. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority. U.S. INDICATIONS DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used: to treat adults and children 6 months of age and older with moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis or AD) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with AD under 6 months of age. with other asthma medicines for the maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe eosinophilic or oral steroid dependent asthma in adults and children 6 years of age and older whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medicines. DUPIXENT helps prevent severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and can improve your breathing.

FOP is a disease in which muscles, tendons and ligaments are progressively replaced by bone, leading to eventual incapacitation Garetosmab is the first and only treatment to demonstrate a dramatic reduction in both number and volume of abnormal bone lesions (heterotopic ossification, or HO lesions) in adults with FOP Primary endpoint was met, showing a 90% or greater reduction in new HO lesions at 56 weeks, and garetosmab also led to a greater than 99% reduction in the total volume of new HO lesions Based on these data and the safety profile, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended those receiving placebo be transitioned to garetosmab as soon as possible; U.S. regulatory submission of garetosmab in adults planned for year-end 2025 TARRYTOWN, N.Y. , Sept. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced the primary endpoint was met in the Phase 3 OPTIMA trial investigating garetosmab in adults with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). At 56 weeks, both doses of garetosmab, 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, were highly efficacious in reducing the number of new bone lesions (heterotopic ossification, or HO lesions) as compared to placebo, demonstrating a 94% and 90% reduction, respectively. Garetosmab is a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes the Activin A protein, which Regeneron scientists discovered to be a critical protein in the development of HO lesions in people with FOP. “Heterotopic ossification is a hallmark of FOP, a horrific disease in which muscles, tendons and ligaments are progressively replaced by bone, gradually incapacitating patients,” said Professor Richard Keen , Director of the Metabolic Bone Disease Centre, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital , London , and global primary investigator of the OPTIMA trial. “The OPTIMA trial results clearly illustrate the potential of garetosmab to alter the disease and reduce new lesions that define this condition. Notably, garetosmab is the first and only investigational therapy to demonstrate a dramatic reduction in both the number and volume of abnormal bone lesions." OPTIMA, a global, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, enrolled 63 people with FOP aged 18 years and older. Trial participants were randomized to intravenously receive either placebo, 3 mg/kg garetosmab, or 10 mg/kg garetosmab once every four weeks. Following this, participants could elect to extend their treatment through at least 84 weeks or discontinue treatment and enter into an observation-only arm. In OPTIMA, the primary and key secondary endpoints were assessed at 56 weeks. As seen in the table below, the total number of new HO lesions was significantly reduced, which was further reaffirmed by the reduction in total new lesion volume. † As assessed by computed tomography (CT) scan‡ A supportive parametric post-hoc analysis was performed using a statistical model that utilized the actual total lesion volume§ Nominal p-value At 56 weeks, there were no discontinuations among the garetosmab treatment arms, and there was one discontinuation in the placebo arm due to an ovarian cyst. There was a dose-dependent increase in skin and soft tissue infections (n=7, n=9, n=15 for the placebo, 3 mg/kg garetosmab, and 10 mg/kg garetosmab arms, respectively). There was no dose-dependent increase in epistaxis (n=5, n=10, n=4 for the placebo, 3 mg/kg garetosmab, and 10 mg/kg garetosmab arms, respectively); and there were no serious bleeding events. There was a decrease in musculoskeletal pain-related adverse events, similar in both garetosmab arms (n=14, n=6, n=4 for the placebo, 3 mg/kg garetosmab and 10 mg/kg garetosmab arms, respectively). Serious treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 2 patients treated with placebo, 1 patient treated with 3 mg/kg garetosmab, and 2 patients treated with 10 mg/kg garetosmab. No deaths were reported in the trial. "The success of the OPTIMA trial is a direct result of Regeneron’s relentless pursuit of science and use of proprietary technologies to improve the lives of people with debilitating and life-threatening diseases, no matter their prevalence,” said George D. Yancopoulos , M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron . “Our research in FOP began decades ago – leading to the discovery of the role Activin A plays in driving this devastating disease, and now, a medicine with the potential to prevent the uncontrolled formation of new bone. We are thankful to the many patients, healthcare providers, and others who have been active partners on this journey, and we look forward to submitting garetosmab for evaluation by regulatory authorities as soon as possible.” Based on these data and the safety profile, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended those receiving placebo be transitioned to garetosmab as soon as possible. A U.S. regulatory submission for garetosmab to treat FOP is planned for year-end 2025, with global regulatory submissions slated for 2026. These data are also planned for future presentation and publication. A Phase 3 trial of garetosmab in adolescents and children with FOP, OPTIMA 2, is intended to begin next year. The potential use of garetosmab for the treatment of FOP is investigational and has not been approved by any regulatory authority. About the OPTIMA Clinical TrialOPTIMA is a Phase 3, multi-center, multinational trial to assess the efficacy of garetosmab on the reduction of heterotopic bone formation, as well as its safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics, in patients with active fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The trial enrolled 63 patients aged 18 years and older who have any FOP-causing variant of type I Activin A receptor (ACVR1), exhibited FOP disease activity or progression of heterotopic ossification (HO) lesions, and had a cumulative analogue joint involvement (CAJIS) score at screening of ≤19. CAJIS is a clinician-assessed tool, with higher scores representing greater disease severity (scale: 0 to 30). Eligible participants were randomized to intravenously receive 3 mg/kg garetosmab, 10 mg/kg garetosmab, or placebo once every four weeks for 56 weeks. Following this, participants could elect to extend their treatment for at least 84 weeks or discontinue treatment and enter into an observation-only arm. During the treatment period, efficacy was evaluated through whole body computed tomography (CT) scans for HO lesions; physician and patient assessment of flare-ups; utilization of the CAJIS scale to rate joint functionality; and observances of change in disease severity. Safety assessment includes reports of adverse events, measurement of vital signs, physical examination, and coagulation testing. A Phase 3 trial of garetosmab in adolescents and children with FOP, OPTIMA 2, is planned to begin next year.

About Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a relentless, progressive, ultra-rare genetic disorder in which muscles, tendons and ligaments are progressively replaced by bone, a process known as heterotopic ossification (HO). Approximately 900 people are diagnosed with FOP worldwide, with many others thought to remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. HO of the jaw, spine, hip and rib cage can make it difficult to speak, eat, walk or breathe, leading to weight loss and escalating loss of mobility and skeletal deformity. People with FOP also experience episodic, localized inflammation known as "flare-ups," although HO may occur both silently as well as in association with symptoms. Most people with FOP are wheelchair bound by 30 years old and the median age of survival is approximately 56 years. Death often results from complications, such as pneumonia, heart failure and aspiration stemming from HO and loss of mobility in the chest, neck and jaw. About Garetosmab Regeneron has been engaged in FOP research for decades and helped to provide fundamental insights in the biology and natural history of the disease. Regeneron scientists discovered that Activin A plays a key role in FOP by driving HO, the main pathology of FOP. Garetosmab is a VelocImmune-derived fully-human monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralizes Activin A, which is involved in the development of heterotopic bone in people with FOP. In 2017, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation for garetosmab for the prevention of HO in patients with FOP. In the U.S. and European Union (EU), garetosmab has been granted Orphan Designation. Garetosmab is currently under clinical development, and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority.
