Bulls Say
Novel FcRn inhibitor Vyvgart is a pipeline in a product, currently approved in myasthenia gravis and CIDP in the US, but it's being evaluated in multiple additional indications.
Vyvgart’s approval in myasthenia gravis made it the first-to-market FcRn-targeting drug, putting Argenx in a strong position to entrench itself in the market before competitors arrive.
With exclusive access to Halozyme's subcutaneous drug delivery technology, Argenx can improve the convenience of Vyvgart and potentially differentiate its drug from future competition.
Bears Say
Vyvgart’s initial average price in myasthenia gravis of $225,000 per year per patient in the US could fall over time, as international launches progress and as competitors reach the market.
While Vyvgart showed impressive efficacy in two indications, other potential indications are less clearly caused by autoantibodies, and pivotal data has been mixed in ITP and dermatology indications.
Firms like Johnson & Johnson, UCB, and Immunovant are also aggressively pursuing FcRn inhibitors that could prove just as effective as, or more effective than, Vyvgart.
