Phase 1Clinical ResultPhase 2
Reports new positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 1 study of BHV-1300, Biohaven's lead investigational drug from its Molecular Degrader of Extracellular Proteins (MoDE™) platform
BHV-1300 demonstrates dose-dependent and rapid IgG reductions within hours of administration
No SAEs, no severe AEs, most AEs were mild, deemed unrelated to study drug and resolved spontaneously
No clinically significant changes in LFTs across any dose cohorts to date
Highlights advances from novel ion channel program targeting Kv7 activation and TRPM3 antagonism across multiple neurological, pain and neuropsychiatric disease indications
Recently initiated a total of 5 pivotal clinical trials with selective Kv7 activator, BHV-7000, targeting focal epilepsy, idiopathic generalized epilepsy, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder
Released positive Phase 1 data with TRPM3 antagonist BHV-2100 showing drug concentrations above EC90 target and well-tolerated profile across all doses in SAD/MAD study; advancing Phase 2 study in migraine
Anticipates Myostatin program topline data for Phase 3 Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) study in 2H2024
Reports new preclinical data highlighting potential for taldefgrobep alfa as monotherapy and in combination with GLP-1 agonists for weight loss:
Taldefgrobep alfa in combination with GLP-1 in the diet-induced obesity preclinical model showed greater reductions in body weight and fat mass, and a larger increase in lean muscle mass, compared to GLP-1 alone
Taldefgrobep alfa demonstrated direct effects on fat reduction as measured by changes in adipocytes independent of increasing muscle mass
Releases positive Phase 1 data with BHV-8000, a brain-penetrant TYK2/JAK1 inhibitor, showing preliminary safety and achievement of target concentrations with reductions in inflammatory biomarkers in SAD/MAD study
Key updates for BHV-8000 include favorable regulatory feedback enabling initiation of registrational programs for the prevention of ARIA associated with amyloid lowering drugs and Parkinson's disease
As announced in an earlier press release today, first patient dosed with Biohaven's novel Trop-2 antibody drug conjugate (ADC), BHV-1510, in Phase 1/2 trial, as monotherapy and initiating combination with Regeneron's anti-PDL1 Libtayo®(cemiplimab-rwlc), in advanced or metastatic epithelial tumors

Figure 1: Biohaven presented the first human dosing experience with a MoDE degrader of IgG at its annual R&D Day. Preliminary data shows rapid, dose-dependent, maximal mean reductions (% change from baseline) in IgG for each cohort observed within 96hrs after administration of BHV-1300 in its ongoing Phase 1 Study. (NOTE: the Box plot shows the placebo adjusted mean as a diamond and the red stars represent model predicted values. The top and bottom of the box represent the 75th and 25th percentiles of the data. The whiskers (“T” shapes) are drawn from the top and bottom of the box to the most distant observation within 1.5 times the interquartile range (1.5x IQR). Observations more than 1.5x IQR from the top or bottom of the box are shown as dots; preliminary data presented from Study 1300-101 is from an ongoing study and subject to change as database not yet cleaned or locked; IgG1-4 analyzed at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Rochester MN).

Figure 2: Biohaven’s novel TRPM3 antagonist has successfully completed Phase 1 study. Target plasma concentrations exceeded the EC90 by 20 minutes and were sustained above EC90 for several hours at all dose levels, confirming a potentially attractive PK profile for acute treatment of migraine and pain relief.
