"Rosnilimab’s positive Phase 2b data in rheumatoid arthritis has revealed impressive safety, tolerability and three-month efficacy data that was sustained and surpasses six-month data from competitor all-active, head-to-head trials. In Q2 2025, we will report full clinical and translational data, further validating rosnilimab’s transformative potential to restore immune homeostasis, not only in RA but also in other diseases like ulcerative colitis. We also are excited to report top-line Phase 2 data for rosnilimab in UC moved up to Q4 2025," said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer of Anaptys. "Additionally, Phase 1 development of both ANB033 and ANB101 is advancing as planned. With approximately $420 million of cash coming into 2025, we are well capitalized through year-end 2027, which does not include the significant potential residual royalties and milestones from our GSK financial collaboration."
Updates on Asset Portfolio

Rosnilimab (PD-1 depleter and agonist)
•Announced subcutaneously administered rosnilimab, including two once-monthly doses, achieved positive results in 424-patient Phase 2b RA trial and highest-ever reported clinical disease activity index (CDAI) low disease activity (LDA) response over 6 months
◦Key results for the trial were –
▪Achieved statistical significance on primary endpoint at Week 12 on mean change from baseline DAS28-CRP score across all three rosnilimab doses vs. placebo
▪Achieved statistical significance on key secondary endpoints at Week 12 on ACR20, ACR50 and CDAI LDA
▪Demonstrated highest-ever reported responses on key secondary endpoints at Week 14 on ACR20, ACR50, ACR70 and CDAI LDA
▪69% (220/318) of rosnilimab-treated patients achieved CDAI LDA at Week 14 and appear to show sustained CDAI LDA and ACR50 responses and potentially deepening ACR70 responses out to Week 28
▪Robust pharmacological activity observed in reduction of PD-1high T cells, increase in total Tregs and reduction of CRP across all doses
▪Rosnilimab was safe and well tolerated with similar adverse event rates vs. placebo

◦Full clinical and translational data anticipated in Q2 2025
•Enrollment ongoing for global Phase 2 trial in moderate-to-severe UC
◦132-patient trial assessing two dose levels of subcutaneously administered rosnilimab vs. placebo (randomized 1:1:1)
▪Primary statistical analysis at Week 12 on well-established endpoints, including the primary endpoint of change from baseline in modified Mayo score (mMS) and supportive secondary endpoints of clinical response on mMS, clinical remission on mMS and endoscopic remission
▪All patients in all three study arms treat-through to Week 24 and remain blinded to treatment arm. Placebo-treated patients who achieved clinical response on partial modified Mayo score (pmMS) at Week 12 remain on placebo, while placebo-treated patients who are non-responders are crossed over to the high-dose rosnilimab treatment arm
▪Patients who are in clinical response on pmMS at Week 24 are eligible for an additional 26-weeks (50 weeks of total treatment), blinded treatment extension period (TEP)
◦Top-line data anticipated in Q4 2025
•Presented preclinical data in Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 (available at View Source) evaluating –
◦The PD-1 depletion and agonism mechanisms of rosnilimab in vitro with UC patient-derived PBMCs and a mouse model of colitis at the 2024 United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW)
◦Inflammatory pathway gene expression in PD-1+ conventional and regulatory T cells in human UC tissue and rosnilimab’s effects in a mouse model of colitis at the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) Congress
◦Synovial levels of PD-1 and the correlation with disease activity in RA at American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence
ANB033 (CD122 antagonist)
•Enrollment ongoing for Phase 1a trial in healthy volunteers
◦Phase 1b indication to be disclosed at a 2025 R&D event
ANB101 (BDCA2 modulator)
•Investigational new drug (IND) application accepted by FDA
•Phase 1a trial to initiate in healthy volunteers in Q1 2025
Imsidolimab (IL-36 antagonist)
•Announced an exclusive global out-license agreement with Vanda Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize imsidolimab (IL-36R antagonist)
◦Anaptys received $15 million, comprised of a $10 million upfront payment and $5 million for existing drug supply
◦Anaptys eligible to receive up to $35 million for future regulatory approvals and sales milestones in addition to a 10% royalty on global net sales
GSK Immuno-Oncology Financial Collaboration
•GSK announced strong commercial performance for Jemperli ($190 million in Q4 2024 sales) with >100% year-over-year growth
•GSK anticipates top-line data in H1 2025 from COSTAR Lung Phase 3 trial comparing cobolimab, a TIM-3 antagonist, plus dostarlimab, a PD-1 antagonist, plus docetaxel to dostarlimab plus docetaxel and to docetaxel alone in patients with advanced NSCLC who have progressed on prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy

•GSK anticipates top-line data in 2026 from AZUR-1 pivotal Phase 2 trial of dostarlimab monotherapy in patients with untreated stage II/III dMMR/MSI-H locally advanced rectal cancer
◦Jemperli received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for this indication in December 2024
Cash Runway
•Cash and investments of $420.8 million as of Dec. 31, 2024, and reiterating cash runway through year-end 2027
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results
•Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $420.8 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $417.9 million as of December 31, 2023, for an increase of $2.9 million due primarily to the $100 million underwritten registered direct offering completed in Q3 and $50.0 million received from the Sagard royalty monetization in Q2 offset by 2024 operating activities.
•Collaboration revenue was $43.1 million and $91.3 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to $9.0 million and $17.2 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in non-cash revenue in 2024 is due to $15.0 million and $25.0 million commercial milestones earned for annual Jemperli sales exceeding $250.0 million and $500.0 million during the year and increased royalties recognized for sales of Jemperli. For the year ended December 31, 2024, GSK reported $598.0 million in sales for Jemperli, a greater than 200% sales growth when compared to $175.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The increase was due primarily to development costs for rosnilimab, ANB032, ANB033 and ANB101 offset by a decrease in development costs for imsidolimab. The R&D non-cash, stock-based compensation expense was $3.9 million and $14.8 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to $2.5 million and $10.2 million in the same period in 2023.
