Revolove results from the Phase IIa RVLO 121-04 trial (NCT05084963), demonstrated efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ‘1104 in adults with active EoE. Results included improvements in patient-reported dysphagia symptoms, reductions in eosinophils and other immune cells in the oesophageal tissue and increase in regulatory immune cells. Revolo reported interim data in April 2023, where the trial met its primary endpoint. The company initially failed to di‘1104e whether or not ‘1104 EoE met its secondary endpoint—dysphagia median symptom scores (DSQ)—the symptom scale that earned Sanofi and Regeneron’s Dupixent approval. However, Revolo confirmed in July with additional data that this all-important endpoint had been met. Dupixent, which is approved for treating four conditions, including EoE, generated $8.29bn in 2022, as per Sanofi’s 2022 full year report. According to an analyst consensus forecast on GlobalData’s Pharma Intelligence Center, Dupixent is forecast to generate to $20.4bn by 2029.
‘1104 is a synthetic peptide that reduces neutrophil recruitment into the lung, decreasing inflammation. The Phase IIb trial will evaluate increased dose levels of ‘1104 and a longer duration of therapy.

Revolo also investigated the drug caPharmaceutical TechnologyIIa trial (NCT05098522) for patients with allergen sensitivity, reporting positive topline data in October 2023.

Based on the proof-of-concept data from the Phase 2a study, I am eager to see this molecule move forward into the next stage of development.”
