    Novartis BTK Inhibitor Remibrutinib Succeeds in Phase III MS Trials

    Question

    Novartis BTK Inhibitor Remibrutinib Succeeds in Phase III MS Trials

    Direct answer

    Novartis announced top-line Phase III data from its REMODEL-1 and REMODEL-2 trials evaluating remibrutinib in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis. The oral Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor met primary endpoints by reducing annualized relapse rates with statistical superiority over teriflunomide. The results establish remibrutinib as a key growth asset within Novartis's immunology and neurology portfolio, with filing submissions expected to follow based on its combined efficacy and tolerability profile. — bullish pressure on NVS.
