Transition to sustainable profitability in 2025 enables 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 reaching more patients broadly across MG, CIDP and ITP through additional regulatory approvals and continuous evidence generation |
| · | Launch VYVGART SC as a pre-filled syringe to innovate on the patient experience and move earlier in the MG and CIDP treatment paradigms |
| · | Execute 10 registrational and 10 proof-of-concept studies to fuel pipeline growth across efgartigimod, empasiprubart and ARGX-119 |
| · | Advance four new molecules into Phase 1 development, expanding the next wave of innovation |
| · | Generate sustainable value through continued investment in the Immunology Innovation Program, focused on first-in-class, antibody-based medicines with pipeline-in-a-product potential |
Expand the global VYVGART opportunity and launch VYVGART SC as a pre-filled syringe
VYVGART® (IV: efgartigimod alfa-fcab and SC: efgartigimod alfa and hyaluronidase-qvfc) is a first-in-class FcRn blocker approved in three indications, including generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) globally, primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in Japan, and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in the U.S., Japan, and China.
| · | Regulatory decisions on approval of VYVGART for gMG expected in first half of 2025, including in Israel (SC), South Korea (IV), and Kuwait (IV) |
| · | Continued innovation around the patient experience for VYVGART SC, including four key regulatory decisions on approval expected in 2025 |
| o | FDA review ongoing of pre-filled syringe (PFS) for gMG and CIDP with Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of April 10, 2025 |
| o | PFS decisions on approval for gMG and CIDP expected in Europe in first half of 2025 and Japan and Canada in second half of 2025 |
| o | Autoinjector development underway with launch planned for 2027 |
| · | Evidence generation through Phase 4 and label-enabling studies in MG, CIDP and ITP |
| o | Label-enabling studies ongoing to reach broader MG populations, including ADAPT-SERON (seronegative gMG), ADAPT-JR (pediatric) and ADAPT-OCULUS (ocular MG), with topline results expected in second half of 2025 (SERON) and first half of 2026 (OCULUS and JR) |
| o | Phase 4 switch study ongoing in CIDP to inform treatment decisions when switching a patient on IVIg to VYVGART SC |

Execute 10 registrational and 10 proof-of-concept studies across efgartigimod, empasiprubart and ARGX-119
argenx continues to demonstrate breadth and depth within its immunology pipeline, advancing multiple first-in-class product candidates with potential across multiple high-need indications. argenx is solidifying its leadership in FcRn biology with efgartigimod, complement inhibition with empasiprubart and in the role of MuSK at the neuromuscular junction with ARGX-119. In 2025, argenx plans to execute 10 registrational and 10 proof-of-concept studies across efgartigimod, empasiprubart and ARGX-119 to advance its next wave of launches.
Efgartigimod Development
Efgartigimod is being evaluated in more than 15 severe autoimmune diseases (including MG, CIDP and ITP), exploring the significance of FcRn biology across neurology and rheumatology indications, as well as new therapeutic areas. To prioritize those indications that can drive transformative benefit, argenx has made the decision to discontinue development of efgartigimod in bullous pemphigoid (BP).
| · | Registrational ALKIVIA study ongoing evaluating three myositis subsets (immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASyS), and dermatomyositis (DM); topline results expected in second half of 2026 |
