Abivax SA (ABVX) reported late Wednesday significant market potential for its lead drug candidate, obefazimod, for ulcerative colitis, amid continued progress in its late-stage trials.
The bio-tech company said the ABTECT Phase 3 Data Safety Monitoring Board last month found no new safety signals for the drug in the treatment of moderate-to-severely active ulcerative colitis.
Topline results from the ABTECT Phase 3 trial are expected in the late second quarter.
Meanwhile, induction results from the ongoing ENHANCE-CD Phase 2b trial of obefazimod for moderate-to-severely active Crohn's disease are set to come in late 2026.
Abivax expects its cash runaway to extend into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027, following full debt reimbursement in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
Shares fell more than 1% in recent after-hours trading.
