argenx announced that Phase 3 ALKIVIA data for VYVGART Hytrulo in autoimmune myositis will be presented as a late-breaking oral at ACR Convergence 2026 on November 11. The study met its primary endpoint: a 15.4-point greater mean Total Improvement Score versus placebo at Week 52 in the combined IMNM and DM population (47.95 vs 32.56; p=0.0011), with improvements visible by Week 4 and sustained through 52 weeks. The result gives argenx the first Phase 3 evidence of an FcRn blocker in myositis, where IMNM patients currently have no approved treatment options, and roughly 100,000 U.S. patients are affected.
