\nEvommune, Inc. (NYSE: EVMN) (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cEvommune\u201d), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies that target key drivers of chronic inflammatory diseases, today announced the first patient was dosed in its Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating a potent, highly selective oral small molecule antagonist of MRGPRX2, EVO756, for the prophylactic treatment of migraine.<\/p>\n
\n“Initiating this migraine trial is an exciting milestone for Evommune and for patients who remain inadequately served by current preventive therapies,” said Luis Pe\u00f1a, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evommune. “While the preventive migraine market has seen progress, innovation has largely been limited to a single target and a meaningful proportion of patients continue to experience inadequate relief. A substantial opportunity remains for a front-line oral therapy with a differentiated mechanism. EVO756’s dual-action biology, targeting both human trigeminal neurons and meningeal mast cells, combined with its multi-neuropeptide coverage and mechanistic breadth could translate across a wide range of migraine patients, including those who have not responded adequately to CGRP inhibitors. We look forward to reporting top-line data from this trial in 2027.”<\/p>\n
\nThe Phase 2b trial is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study evaluating EVO756 in adults with refractory migraine experiencing \u22656 migraine days per month. Approximately 330 patients will be randomized across two active dose arms and placebo for 12 weeks of treatment. The trial is exploring daily doses of up to 100 mg.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMigraine is one of the most disabling neurologic conditions worldwide, yet there remains a significant unmet need for new targeted migraine-specific therapies and for oral options. As a neurologist and headache medicine specialist, the goal of care is to offer patients a more fulfilling, migraine-free life. My hope is to get there with new compelling targets like MRGPRX2, and I look forward to seeing the data generated for EVO756,\u201d said Stewart Tepper, M.D., a clinical trial investigator and Vice President of the New England Institute for Neurology and Headache.<\/p>\n
\nThe primary endpoint of the Phase 2b trial is the mean change from baseline in monthly migraine days (MMD). Key secondary endpoints include the proportion of patients achieving \u226550% and \u226575% reductions in MMD, change from baseline in monthly headache days, and monthly acute migraine medication use. Exploratory endpoints include patient subtyping, changes in migraine-related biomarkers, and changes in migraine-specific quality of life measures.<\/p>\n
About Migraine<\/b><\/p>\n
\nMigraine is a neurological disorder, estimated to affect more than 40 million people in the United States and more than 10 percent of the global population. Beyond headache days, migraine is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and a growing body of evidence shows that the burden between attacks, not just the attacks themselves, is a primary driver of patients seeking care, with many reporting impaired daily functioning even when they are not experiencing an active migraine. More than 10 million Americans are eligible for preventive therapy, yet current treatments are limited to only improving migraine days per month by approximately two days more than placebo, and nearly half of patients on these therapies do not achieve a meaningful reduction in migraine frequency. As a result, more than 80 percent of patients discontinue traditional preventive therapies within a year, and about half modify their treatment regimen without consulting a physician, underscoring the substantial unmet need for new, differentiated approaches to migraine prevention.

Evommune seeks to produce the first MRGPRX2-targeted oral treatment for chronic inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD) and migraine, as well as other potential indications.<\/p>\n About Evommune, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n \nEvommune, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies that target key drivers of chronic inflammatory diseases.

Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the potential therapeutic benefit of EVO756, and the design, objectives, initiation, timing, progress and results of the Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating EVO756 in migraine. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company\u2019s expectations and assumptions as of the date of this press release.
