    July 7, 2017

    Breda, the Netherlands / Ghent, Belgium - argenx (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a deep pipeline of differentiated antibody-based therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced that its abstract covering the complete data set from its Phase Ib study of ARGX-111 in patients with advanced cancers over-expressing the MET protein was selected as part of the Best of ASCO program at the 3rd Singapore Society of Oncology Annual Scientific Meeting in Singapore.

    "The differentiated design of ARGX-111 to enhance killing of advanced tumor cells offers a really exciting approach to treating patients with MET-driven cancers," commented Nicolas Leupin, Chief Medical Officer of argenx. "We are pleased to see preliminary anti-tumor activity and a consistently favorable safety profile, which was the goal of this expansion study. These data offer a compelling path forward to further examine in a Phase 2 study the activity of ARGX-111, which we are looking to strategically partner."

    The new data from the Phase Ib study continue to show evidence of anti-tumor activity with ARGX-111 at all dose levels and across different indications. Partial response and stable disease were observed, respectively, in one and nine of 24 heavily pretreated patients with MET-positive malignancies, both MET-gene-amplified and with MET overexpression. Treatment-emerging adverse events were reported for all patients, but none of the grade 5 toxicities were related to ARGX-111. The poster presented at Best of ASCO can be accessed from the "Downloads" section of the argenx website.

    About ARGX-111

    ARGX-111 was developed for the treatment of patients with certain solid tumors that overexpress c-Met, a receptor associated with tumor growth and metastasis, or tumors that are mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor, or MET, amplified. ARGX-111 employs the SIMPLE AntibodyTM, NHance® and POTELLIGENT® technologies to drive tissue penetration in the body and to increase its ability to enhance ADCC. ARGX-111 binds to c-Met with high affinity and does not cause dimerization of the c-Met receptor, which differentiates it from other, earlier attempts to direct antibodies against c-Met. Dimerization is a process which can result in receptor activation, undermining the intended therapeutic effect of antibodies blocking hepatocyte growth factor, or HGF, binding to c-Met. By blocking both HGF-dependent and independent c-Met activation, ARGX-111 is able to block c-Met receptor activation which could trigger survival, proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells. In order to further examine the activity of the product candidate in a Phase 2 study, argenx is actively looking for an appropriate collaboration partner.

    Onopvallend en onder de radar dendert Argen-X door . Fly heeft al meermaals gezegd dat er veels te weinig aandacht voor is . Nu zie ik hem zelfs niet meer !?
    Ik zit er al in vanaf de 10 euro( dankzij Fly en onderzoek) en blijf hier LT ( net als Ablynx ) inzitten . Tenzij er iets negatiefs zou opduiken uiteraard . Voorlopig gaat dit bedrijf een steeds grotere opmars maken . Nog niet ontdekt door de grote kudde . Dit gaat nog wel gebeuren .

    argenx reaches 50% enrollment in Phase 2 clinical trial of ARGX-113 in immune thrombocytopenia



    Top-line data from the study expected in second half of 2018 -


    September 20, 2017



    Breda, the Netherlands / Ghent, Belgium - argenx (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a deep pipeline of differentiated antibody-based therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced that it has recruited 50% of the immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients in the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of ARGX-113.



    "We are pleased to have reached the 50% recruitment milestone in this study, which is enrolling on schedule," commented Nicolas Leupin, Chief Medical Officer of argenx. "We remain on track, and look forward to presenting top-line data from the ARGX-113 clinical trial in ITP in the second half of 2018, which will be our second indication with Phase 2 top-line data from ARGX-113."



    The double-blind, placebo controlled Phase II study will enroll up to 36 ITP patients with platelet levels lower than 30 million per milliliter. ARGX-113 will be dosed on top of current standard of care, including corticosteroids and/or immunomodulatory agents and/or TPO-R agonists. The primary endpoints of the trial are safety and tolerability, and secondary endpoints are effect on platelet count and use of rescue treatment, and an assessment of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) markers.



    The ITP clinical trial was initiated in March 2017. ARGX-113 is also being studied in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study for the treatment of myasthenia gravis (MG), which was initiated in January 2017.



    About ARGX-113

    ARGX-113 is an investigational therapy for treatment of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. ARGX-113 is the Fc-portion of an antibody that has been modified by the argenx proprietary ABDEG(TM) technology to increase its affinity for FcRn beyond that of normal IgG antibodies. As a result, ARGX-113 blocks antibody recycling and leads to fast depletion of the autoimmune disease-causing IgG autoantibodies. The development work on ARGX-113 is done in close collaboration with Prof. E. Sally Ward (University of Texas Southwestern Medical and Texas A&M University Health Science Center, a part of Texas A&M University (TAMHSC)).

    ZEER GOED NIEUWS

    argenx announces orphan drug designation for ARGX-113 for the treatment of myasthenia gravis

    Non-regulated information





    September 25, 2017



    Breda, the Netherlands / Ghent, Belgium - argenx (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing a deep pipeline of differentiated antibody-based therapies for the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced that the Office of Orphan Products Development of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted orphan status for the use of ARGX-113 for the treatment of myasthenia gravis.



    MG is an autoimmune disorder associated with muscle weakness that is triggered by IgG auto-antibodies. These antibodies attack critical signalling proteins at the junction between nerve and muscle cells, thereby impairing their communications signals. There are limited effective and sustainable treatments for MG. ARGX-113 has the potential to eliminate patient symptoms while minimizing common side effects seen with current treatments by reducing the pathogenic IgG levels.



    About orphan drug designation

    Orphan drug status is granted by FDA to a drug or biological product to treat a rare disease or condition upon request of a sponsor. Orphan drug designation qualifies for various development incentives, including tax credits for qualified clinical testing, a waiver from FDA's application User Free for marketing application, and a 7-year period of marketing exclusivity in the US.

    The granting of an orphan designation request does not alter the standard regulatory requirements and process for obtaining marketing approval. Safety and effectiveness of a drug must be established through adequate and well-controlled studies.

    "PV is a chronic, severe and potentially life-threatening orphan auto-immune disease of the skin for which limited treatment options exist. Disease severity is directly correlated to pathogenic antibodies of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) type targeting desmoglein-1 and -3 in the skin, leading to painful blister formation and skin damage," commented Nicolas Leupin, Chief Medical Officer of argenx. "Current treatment options are limited to high-dose steroids and chronic immunosuppression. We are thrilled about the therapeutic potential of ARGX-113 in PV, based on its mode of action of clearing IgGs. PV represents a clean and rapid proof-of-concept indication and, we believe, is therefore our ideal beachhead into the field of severe auto-immune blistering diseases of the skin."



    The open-label, non-controlled Phase II clinical trial will enroll up to 12 patients with mild to moderate PV who are either newly diagnosed or relapsing. The primary endpoints of the trial are safety and tolerability, and secondary endpoints include efficacy and an assessment of pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) markers. The study design will be presented in more detail during a PV Key Opinion Leader event which will take place in New York on November 10, 2017.



    ARGX-113 is currently being tested in two additional Phase II clinical trials in myasthenia gravis (MG) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Topline date for MG and ITP are expected in the first quarter and second half of 2018, respectively. In a Phase I clinical trial, ARGX-113 was well-tolerated across multiple doses and dosing regimens with promising pharmacodynamic effects relating to speed, depth and duration of IgG reduction.



    About ARGX-113

    ARGX-113 is an investigational therapy for treatment of IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases. ARGX-113 is the Fc-portion of an antibody that has been modified by the argenx proprietary ABDEG(TM) technology to increase its affinity for FcRn beyond that of normal IgG antibodies. As a result, ARGX-113 blocks antibody recycling and leads to fast depletion of the autoimmune disease-causing IgG autoantibodies. The development work on ARGX-113 is done in close collaboration with Prof. E. Sally Ward (University of Texas Southwestern Medical and Texas A&M University Health Science Center, a part of Texas A&M University (TAMHSC)).
