Investor update summary
24 Apr, 2026Fenebrutinib clinical development and differentiation
Fenebrutinib is a highly selective, non-covalent, CNS-penetrant BTK inhibitor designed for both relapsing and progressive MS, with unique structure and strong CNS penetration.
Demonstrated positive Phase III results in both relapsing and primary progressive MS, making it the first and only BTKi with such outcomes.
Over 2,700 patients studied across Phases I–III for MS and other autoimmune disorders.
Four positive trials in MS, including head-to-head non-inferiority versus ocrelizumab in PPMS, support its broad efficacy.
Data from FENhance 1/2 (RMS) and FENtrepid (PPMS) trials will support FDA filing planned for mid-2026.
Efficacy results from FENhance 1 and 2 (RMS)
Fenebrutinib reduced annualized relapse rates by 51.1% and 58.5% versus teriflunomide in FENhance 1 and 2, respectively (p<0.001 and p<0.00001).
MRI endpoints showed 70–83% reduction in T1 gadolinium-enhancing and T2 lesions compared to teriflunomide.
Disability progression trends favored Fenebrutinib, with pooled HR 0.84 (0.71–0.99) and significant benefit over teriflunomide.
The strongest treatment effect was observed in the 9-Hole Peg Test, indicating benefit for upper limb function.
Consistent benefit observed across subgroups, with greater effect in younger patients and those with baseline T1 Gd+ lesions.
Efficacy results from FENtrepid (PPMS)
FENtrepid met its primary endpoint of non-inferiority to ocrelizumab and showed numeric improvement in disability progression.
Curves for disability progression separated by week 24 and remained apart for over 120 weeks.
Strongest effect observed on 9HPT, with a 22% risk reduction in post hoc analysis using a composite endpoint.
