  • Obexelimab is being tested in a phase 3 trial (INDIGO) for treating IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD), a chronic condition causing organ damage.
  • The trial is global, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, enrolling 194 patients to assess efficacy and safety.
  • Patients receive weekly subcutaneous obexelimab 250 mg or placebo for 52 weeks after glucocorticoid induction.
  • Primary endpoint: Time to first IgG4-RD flare requiring rescue therapy, assessed by both investigators and an adjudication committee.
  • Secondary endpoints include flare frequency, complete remission rates, and cumulative glucocorticoid dose.
  • The trial aims to provide evidence on B-cell inhibition as a treatment and evaluate obexelimab as a steroid-sparing option.
  • Ethical approval obtained, with the trial conducted in 19 countries following ICH GCP guidelines.
