Evommune Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Highlights

‑ Phase 2b top-line data from EVO756 in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and atopic dermatitis (AD) on track for June 2026 and 3Q26, respectively, with enrollment complete in both trials

‑ Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating a subcutaneous formulation of EVO301 in AD planned, following positive proof-of-concept (POC) data reported in February 2026

‑ Plans to initiate a Phase 2b dose-ranging clinical trial of EVO756 in migraine prophylaxis in mid-2026

PALO ALTO, Calif. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evommune, Inc. (NYSE: EVMN) (“Evommune” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies that target key drivers of chronic inflammatory diseases, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

“We continue to make meaningful progress across our broad chronic inflammation targeted pipeline and remain on track to deliver top-line Phase 2b data for EVO756 in CSU in June and in AD in the third quarter of 2026. We also expect to initiate a Phase 2b clinical trial in a third indication, migraine prophylaxis, in mid-2026, where we believe the biology and opportunity are both very compelling. For EVO301, we recently reported positive Phase 2a proof-of-concept data in AD and look forward to presenting more data from that trial at an upcoming medical meeting,” said Luis Peña, President and Chief Executive Officer at Evommune. “With a strong cash position expected to support our operations through 2028, we believe we are well positioned to execute on key milestones and further advance our pipeline of therapies addressing inflammatory diseases where the biology is strong, the patient need is clear, and the path to development is well defined.”

Business Highlights, Recent Developments and Upcoming Milestones

EVO756 – Oral MRGPRX2 Antagonist Program

Potential first and best-in-class, potent and highly selective small molecule antagonist of Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor X2 (MRGPRX2), a receptor predominantly found on both mast cells and peripheral sensory neurons. This dual expression allows MRGPRX2 to uniquely modulate the neurogenic inflammation feedback loop between nerves and immune cells that drive chronic inflammation.

  • Upcoming Phase 2b Top-Line Data Readout in CSU: Enrollment is complete in a Phase 2b dose-ranging clinical trial (N=160) in moderate-to-severe CSU and the Company expects to report top-line results in June 2026.
  • Upcoming Phase 2b Top-Line Data Readout in AD: Enrollment is complete in a Phase 2b dose-ranging clinical trial (N=120) in moderate-to-severe AD patients and the Company expects to report top-line results in the third quarter of 2026.
  • Highlighted Role of MRGPRX2 in Migraine and Planned Phase 2b Development Program: The Company recently hosted a virtual event, alongside key opinion leaders, overviewing the role of MRGPRX2 in migraine and its plans to initiate a Phase 2b dose-ranging clinical trial in migraine prophylaxis in mid-2026. Top-line data from the trial are anticipated in 2027.
  • New Translational Data to be Presented at Two Upcoming Scientific Conferences: At the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) Annual Meeting, being held June 9-12, 2026 in San Francisco, CA, Evommune will present two posters: the first highlighting shared pathology data in chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) and CSU patient samples, and the second providing an comprehensive and unprecedented in silico assessment of patient samples identifying MRGPRX2 as a persistent driver of disease in AD. The Company will also present a poster highlighting the pivotal role of MRGPRX2 impacting both meningeal mast cells and trigeminal neurons in migraine pathophysiology at the American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Scientific Meeting being held June 4-7, 2026 in Orlando, FL.

EVO301 – Injectable IL-18 Binding Protein Fusion Protein

Long-acting fusion protein consisting of an IL-18 binding protein and an anti-serum albumin Fab-associated domain with potential for more effective distribution to inflamed tissues than traditional monoclonal antibodies.

  • Subcutaneous Formulation Work Complete: Evommune has completed work on a high-concentration subcutaneous formulation of EVO301 and manufacturing has been initiated.
  • Phase 2b Trial to Initiate in Mid-2027: The Company plans to build on the positive Phase 2a POC data by optimizing the subcutaneous dosing regimen in the Phase 2b clinical trial to explore the potential for even further improvement in AD patient outcomes. The planned Phase 2b, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging clinical trial is expected to include at least three dosing regimens of EVO301 tested over a 16-week treatment period, with a planned trial start in mid-2027 following completion of standard scale-up and toxicology activities.
  • Evaluating Additional Indication Expansion Opportunities: The Company continues to evaluate additional indications for EVO301, including ulcerative colitis, certain cardiovascular-related inflammatory conditions and food allergy, as potential new Phase 2 clinical trials.
  • Upcoming Preclinical Data Presentation at Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) 2026 Annual Meeting: The Company will present preclinical data highlighting the mechanism of action of IL-18 inhibition for the treatment of AD and the uniqueness of EVO301’s binding protein approach at the upcoming SID Annual Meeting being held May 13-16, 2026 in Chicago, IL.

“We are excited to present a robust set of preclinical and translational findings at upcoming scientific conferences,” said Dr. Jeegar Patel, Chief Scientific Officer at Evommune. “We continue to build a compelling body of evidence supporting shared disease biology across CIndU and CSU, while further elucidating the role and expression of the MRGPRX2 receptor in AD. Importantly, our migraine-focused research expands this understanding into the neuroinflammatory setting, demonstrating MRGPRX2’s involvement in both meningeal mast cells and trigeminal neurons. Collectively, these findings reinforce our conviction in MRGPRX2 as a highly differentiated and potentially broad therapeutic target, continuing to build momentum as we look ahead to upcoming top-line Phase 2b data in CSU next month.”
