Q&A highlights
Q: Lauren Timmins asked about NFL separation vs placebo, magnitude for strong signal, and correlation to brain volume change; also about end of Phase II meeting for IMU-856.
A: Daniel Vitt said NFL is to look for a signal in specific sub-indications, correlation to brain volume not established; no end of Phase II meeting plan, ongoing IND submission dialogue with FDA.
Q: Jessica Breu asked Andreas Argyrides about ENSURE patient enrollment and UC program status; follow-up on Nurr1 activator in progressive MS.
A: Daniel Vitt said ENSURE enrollment is on track; UC program has ongoing discussions, IMU-381 added to pipeline; Nurr1 activator's potential in progressive MS is based on biology and study objective to prove in CALLIPER study.
Q: Matt Kaplan asked about Phase II design for IMU-856 and development of IMU-856 and IMU-838 in UC.
A: Daniel Vitt said Phase II design is being discussed with experts, aligning with FDA guidance; focus on IMU-856 in GI space due to non-immunosuppressive nature, potential for IBD development; IMU-838 development is concurrent but GI focus is on IMU-856 currently.
