Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. announced that argenx received European Commission (EC) approval of VYVGART® 1000mg (efgartigimod alfa) developed with ENHANZE®, Halozyme's proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPH20), for subcutaneous (SC) injection as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with progressive or relapsing active chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) after prior treatment with corticosteroids or immunoglobulins. VYVGART is the first and only targeted IgG Fc-antibody fragment for Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and the first novel mechanism of action for CIDP treatment in more than 30 years. The EC decision is based on positive results from the ADHERE clinical trial, the largest study of CIDP patients to date.
