Panelists discuss how remibrutinib demonstrated rapid and sustained efficacy in the REMIX-1 and -2 trials through significant improvements in disease activity scores (UAS7, ISS7, HSS7) starting at week 1 and maintained through 52 weeks, with nearly half of patients achieving complete symptom resolution (UAS7 = 0) by week 52, while maintaining a favorable safety profile throughout the study period.
What is notable about the efficacy and safety data from the REMIX-1 and -2 studies for remibrutinib?
Significant change from baseline in UAS7 scores as early as week 1 and sustained through week 24, with similar trends for ISS7 and HSS7
Primary end point met of superiority in change from baseline in UAS7 and ISS7/HSS7 at week 12 compared to placebo
A higher proportion of patients with remibrutinib achieve UAS7 ≤ 6 and UAS7 = 0
Safety consistent with previous findings
There was additional data presented this year from the REMIX trials: long-term 52-week data. What new insights do this data reveal about remibrutinib?
At week 24, patients receiving placebo were transitioned to remibrutinib; responses with remibrutinib were observed as early as the first week after switching and were sustained until the end of the study (28 weeks of treatment)
Almost half of patients were completely free of itch and hives (UAS7 = 0) as assessed at week 52
Safety profile favorable and consistent
What is the clinical utility of the measures used in these studies (UAS7, ISS7, HSS7), and what is considered clinically meaningful for patients?
