Apogee Therapeutics Advances zumilokibart Development
"In the last 12 months we made meaningful progress across our pipeline, including advancing zumilokibart with positive APEX Phase 2 Part A results, as well as proof-of-concept data from our Phase 1b trial in asthma," said Michael Henderson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Apogee Therapeutics. "We are now focused on proving out the potential of zumilokibart in AD with the APEX Phase 2 Part A 52-week maintenance readout expected in March, followed by the APEX Phase 2 Part B dose optimization readout expected in the second quarter and Phase 3 initiation targeted by year end. Later this year, we plan to provide additional details on development for expansion indications including asthma and EoE, further advancing our vision for zumilokibart as a pipeline-in-a-product. In the second half of 2026, our expected head-to-head readout of APG279 compared to DUPIXENT has potential to be the first proof-of-concept for Apogee's combination programs in AD. With cash runway into the second half of 2028, we believe we are well positioned to work toward launching a transformative therapy this decade as we build a leading I&I biotech."
