  • Two-year efficacy and safety data analyses from Phase III SUNSHINE and SUNRISE trials of continuous Cosentyx® (secukinumab) treatment in HS to be presented

  • New analyses of 52-week data from Phase III REMIX pivotal trials of investigational remibrutinib, demonstrating impact in key clinical outcomes for patients with CSU also to be presented

  • Regulatory submissions for remibrutinib as a treatment for CSU on track for filing in 1H 2025

Basel, February 28, 2025 – Novartis announced today it will present data from 17 abstracts, including investigator-initiated trials, across its immunology portfolio at the 2025 American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) Joint Congress and the 2025 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting.

Data presented at the congresses include long-term urticaria control, sleep, and activity analyses from the Phase III REMIX-1 and REMIX-2 studies evaluating investigational remibrutinib for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Additionally, long-term data from the Cosentyx® (secukinumab) Phase III SUNSHINE and SUNRISE trials in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and patient-reported outcomes from a Phase II trial evaluating remibrutinib in HS will be presented.

“Conditions like CSU and HS are more than just skin deep, often having a profound impact on patients' daily lives and activities," said Angelika Jahreis, Global Head, Development, Immunology, Novartis. "These data at AAAAI and AAD highlight our continued commitment to reimagine medicine and address treatment gaps for people with immune-mediated diseases. We are particularly excited about the potential for remibrutinib as a novel oral treatment for patients with CSU who remain symptomatic on antihistamines.”

These CSU data will support regulatory submissions in the first half of 2025. In addition to CSU, remibrutinib is being investigated in other immune-mediated conditions, including chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), HS, and food allergy.
