- Trial did not meet the primary endpoint of mean change in Urticaria Activity Score over seven days (UAS7) at 12 weeks - Evommune to continue development of EVO756 in Atopic Dermatitis and Migraine PALO ALTO, Calif. & NEW YORK, June 29, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Evommune, Inc. (NYSE: EVMN) (the "Company" or "Evommune"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapies that target key drivers of chronic inflammatory diseases, today announced top-line results from its randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-ranging Phase 2b trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of oral MRGPRX2 antagonist, EVO756, in adults with moderate-to-severe chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). The Phase 2b trial enrolled 160 moderate-to-severe antihistamine-refractory CSU patients in the United States, Europe, Canada and Japan. Participants received one of three active dose regimens or placebo. The study did not meet the primary endpoint of mean change in a patient's Urticaria Activity Score over seven days (UAS7) at 12 weeks at any dose. "EVO756 previously delivered positive Phase 2 data in chronic inducible urticaria and showed clear target engagement in the Phase 1 trial, however, the lack of efficacy demonstrated at Week 12 in this Phase 2b trial does not support further development of EVO756 for CSU," said Dr. Eugene Bauer, Chief Medical Officer of Evommune. "We are evaluating EVO756 in additional indications, and this Phase 2b trial confirmed safe and well tolerated doses that warrant these further studies. We are sincerely grateful to the patients, clinicians and administrators who participated in this trial." "While we are disappointed with the trial results in this indication, we continue to believe that modulation of MRGPRX2 represents a new potential therapeutic option to reduce inflammation and provide rapid relief of symptoms. We remain on track to report top-line Phase 2b data for EVO756 in atopic dermatitis (AD) in the third quarter of 2026. We have also initiated screening in a Phase 2b trial of EVO756 in migraine prophylaxis, and expect patient dosing to commence imminently. For EVO301, our IL-18BP fusion protein, we recently reported positive Phase 2a proof-of-concept data in AD and look forward to moving the program into a robust Phase 2b AD trial," said Luis Peña, President and Chief Executive Officer at Evommune.
