Transition to sustainable profitability in 2025enables continued investment in innovation
January 13, 2025, 7:00 AM CET
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – argenx SE (Euronext & Nasdaq: ARGX), a global immunology company committed to improving the lives of people suffering from severe autoimmune diseases, today reported preliminary financial results for the full-year 2024, including global product net sales, and announced its strategic priorities for 2025.
“2024 was a transformative year as we significantly expanded our global patient reach with VYVGART and advanced a world-class pipeline of precision therapies,” said Tim Van Hauwermeiren, Chief Executive Officer of argenx. “The team’s strong execution has positioned argenx to be a profitable company in 2025, providing us flexibility to invest in the next wave of innovation across the company. Today, we are all in on our innovation mission, applying our successful innovation playbook to bring transformational outcomes to even more patients by unleashing the next wave of autoimmune indications and therapies, and securing our future by advancing multiple programs against first-in-class targets. We are positioned for significant expansion in 2025 with the FDA decision on approval of our pre-filled syringe, global CIDP rollout, and label-expansion studies underway for MG. To further support our growth, we are thrilled to have 10 ongoing registrational and 10 proof-of-concept studies in 2025, teeing us up for several data readouts across our pipeline in the next 12-24 months.
“Innovation is the cornerstone of everything we do, from the foundational science all the way to payor negotiations; it is our goal to deliver innovative and disruptive science for the benefit of patients who need better access to transformational safe, effective, and convenient precision therapies. Innovation has no meaning unless it reaches the marketplace, and we will continue to prioritize patient outcomes in all that we do.”
2025 Strategic Priorities
argenx established its ‘Vision 2030’ to outline the next phase of growth as part of its long-term commitment to transform the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Through this vision, argenx aims to treat 50,000 patients globally with its medicines, secure 10 labeled indications across all approved medicines, and advance five pipeline candidates into Phase 3 development by 2030.
To achieve the goals set out in its ‘Vision 2030’, argenx has set the following priorities for 2025:
| · | Expand the global VYVGART opportunity by<br>reaching more patients broadly across MG, CIDP and ITP through additional regulatory approvals and continuous evidence generation |
