AI Summary

Zenas BioPharma announced positive Phase 3 INDIGO trial results for obexelimab in Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD), meeting its primary and all key secondary endpoints with statistical significance. The data, presented at EULAR 2026 and published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed obexelimab significantly reduced disease flares, glucocorticoid use, and related toxicities, with a favorable safety profile. The company submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA in May for obexelimab in IgG4-RD. Zenas also anticipates topline results from its Phase 2 SunStone SLE trial later this year.
