Vilobelimab demonstrates significant improvement in reduction of draining tunnels

InflaRx N.V., a biopharmaceutical company pioneering anti-inflammatory therapeutics targeting the complement system, today said that Vilobelimab demonstrates significant improvement in reduction of draining tunnels, total lesion count, International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Score 4 and the newly introduced modified-HiSCR, from the e-poster presentation of a post hoc analysis of the SHINE Phase 2b study of its first-in-class anti-C5a antibody, vilobelimab, in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) at the 2024 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress being held in Amsterdam.

Camilla Chong, MD, Chief Medical Officer of InflaRx, commented: “This analysis sheds significant light on the role of C5a/C5aR signaling and vilobelimab’s ability to address the underlying inflammation driving hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), including its potential to reduce not only abscesses and nodules, but draining tunnels that remain a significant burden for many patients with this debilitating disease. In addition, we believe exploring additional efficacy parameters for HS in addition to HiSCR (Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response) could lead to a greater understanding of the disease-modifying potential of C5a inhibitors such as vilobelimab and C5aR inhibitors such as INF904, particularly with regard to reducing draining tunnels.”
