Roivant (NASDAQ:ROIV) Announces Positive Phase 2 Data for Brepocitinib in Cutaneous Sarcoidosis and Reports Third Quarter Financial Results

BASEL, Switzerland and LONDON and NEW YORK — February 6, 2026 — Leads & Copy —

Roivant (Nasdaq: ROIV) has reported positive Phase 2 results for brepocitinib in cutaneous sarcoidosis (CS) and its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Brepocitinib 45 mg significantly improved cutaneous sarcoidosis disease activity, achieving a 22.3-point improvement in mean CSAMI-A at Week 16 versus a 0.7-point improvement in placebo (Δ21.6 P<0.0001). Brepocitinib demonstrated rapid, deep and sustained improvements across all other efficacy endpoints measured with consistent safety profile.

Priovant plans to progress CS to a pivotal program with a Phase 3 study starting in calendar year 2026 following engagement with the FDA, representing the third indication with a pivotal program for brepocitinib.

A New Drug Application (NDA) was submitted to the FDA for brepocitinib in dermatomyositis (DM). Topline data from Phase 3 studies in non-infectious uveitis (NIU) are expected in the second half of calendar year 2026. Roivant continues to actively explore other indications for brepocitinib.

The IMVT-1402 potentially registrational trial in difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) is fully enrolled, with topline data expected in the second half of calendar year 2026; topline data from the proof-of-concept trial in cutaneous lupus erythematous (CLE) is expected in the second half of calendar year 2026.

The Mosliciguat Phase 2 trial in pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) is fully enrolled, with topline data expected in the second half of calendar year 2026.

The LNP litigation continues to progress, with favorable summary judgment decision in U.S. Moderna case affirming Genevant’s view of section 1498: the significant majority of liability belongs in the current case against Moderna. A jury trial in the U.S. Moderna case is scheduled for March 2026 and first major hearings in international proceedings are expected in the first half of calendar year 2026.

Roivant-led Immunovant financing alongside key institutional investors generated gross proceeds to Immunovant of approximately $550 million, extending Immunovant’s cash runway to the launch of IMVT-1402 in Graves’ disease (GD).

Roivant reported consolidated cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2025, supporting cash runway into profitability.

Roivant will host a live conference call and webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET on Friday, February 6, 2026, to discuss positive Phase 2 results for brepocitinib in CS and report its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Matt Gline, CEO of Roivant, said that 2025 was a transformative year for Roivant, driven by the quality of its clinical execution and its resulting data. He added that they are entering 2026 with early momentum across their late stage pipeline with ambitions of another groundbreaking year. Gline said that the positive data for brepocitinib in CS represents a breakthrough for the field, generating clinically meaningful outcomes for patients in need in the first ever positive placebo-controlled trial for any therapy in CS.

BEACON Study Results

The BEACON study enrolled 31 patients across 15 sites in the United States, randomized 3:2:2 to once daily brepocitinib 45 mg, 15 mg, or placebo with a 16-week treatment period. The brepocitinib 45 mg arm comprised the most treatment-refractory group, with the highest percentage of patients with longstanding disease, damage, and difficult-to-treat plaque-predominant morphology. Despite this, patients in the 45 mg arm achieved meaningful clinical improvement compared to placebo, including 100% response rates on multiple endpoints. Brepocitinib 15 mg patients also improved considerably, with numerically similar improvement to the 45 mg arm on lower-bar endpoints and evidence of dose-dependent benefit seen on higher bar endpoints and patient reported outcomes. Placebo patients experienced almost no improvement, consistent with natural disease course.

On the Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Activity and Morphology Instrument – Activity score (CSAMI-A), brepocitinib 45 mg achieved a 22.3-point mean improvement at Week 16 versus a 0.7-point improvement in placebo (Δ21.6 P<0.0001). Statistically significant separation was observed as early as Week 4 and maintained at all timepoints thereafter. One hundred percent of brepocitinib 45 mg patients achieved at least a 10-point improvement on CSAMI-A compared to 14% of placebo patients, and 62% of brepocitinib 45 mg patients achieved CSAMI-A <5 (functional remission), compared to 0% of placebo patients.

On the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA), 69% of brepocitinib 45 mg patients achieved the gold standard two-point improvement to Clear (0) / Almost Clear (1), compared to 0% of placebo patients (Δ 69% P=.0047). Brepocitinib 45 mg also demonstrated statistically significant improvement over placebo on key patient reported outcomes, including the King’s Sarcoidosis Questionnaire (KSQ) Skin Domain, the Skindex-16, and the Patient’s Global Impression of Change (PGI-C). On PGI-C, 100% of patients receiving the 45 mg dose reported improvement from baseline, compared to 29% of placebo patients (Δ 71% P=.0014).

Brepocitinib was well tolerated during the study treatment period, with no Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and all Adverse Events (AEs) graded mild or moderate in severity. Brepocitinib has been evaluated in more than 1,500 patients and subjects, with an observed safety profile consistent with approved JAK1 and TYK2 inhibitors.

Dr. Misha Rosenbach, MD, Professor of Dermatology and Rheumatology and Director of the Cutaneous Sarcoidosis Program at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, said that the BEACON study is a watershed moment for the sarcoidosis field, and most importantly, for their patients. He added that the study drug showed a clear difference in patients who received the medication compared to placebo, both from the patient and the physician perspective, and appeared to be well tolerated and called it a transformational moment for sarcoidosis.

Roivant reported the following recent developments:

Priovant: In February 2026, Priovant announced positive Phase 2 results for brepocitinib in cutaneous sarcoidosis (CS).

Immunovant anticipates sharing topline data from both of its Phase 3 studies to evaluate batoclimab as a treatment for active moderate to severe thyroid eye disease (TED) in the first half of calendar year 2026. In calendar year 2027, topline data are expected across potentially registrational trials of IMVT-1402 in GD and MG.

Pulmovant expects to report topline data from the ongoing Phase 2 trial of mosliciguat in PH-ILD in the second half of calendar year 2026.

Genevant LNP litigation continues to progress, with summary judgment phase in the U.S. Moderna case ongoing and jury trial in the U.S. Moderna case scheduled for March 2026. First major hearings in international proceedings expected in the first half of calendar year 2026. Discovery phase of Pfizer/BioNTech case is ongoing.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had consolidated cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of approximately $4.5 billion.

Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by $23.8 million to $165.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $141.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in program-specific costs of $11.3 million and share-based compensation of $8.4 million.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $33.5 million to $175.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $141.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an impairment loss of $17.1 million related to the relocation of the U.S. corporate headquarters of Roivant Sciences, Inc. and an increase of $17.5 million in share-based compensation expense, primarily driven by the Priovant Exchange Offer. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $5.3 million in personnel-related expense, primarily due to the conclusion of one-time cash retention awards under the Cash Bonus Program.

Loss from continuing operations, net of tax was $313.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $208.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024.
