Viridian: Positive Chronic TED Data Likely To Lead To BLA Filing In Second Half Of 2025 (Rating Upgrade)
Company reported positive phase 3 THRIVE-2 study results using veligrotug in treating chronic thyroid eye disease patients, positioning it to file a BLA in the 2nd half 2025. The company is developing VRDN-003, an improved subcutaneous version of veligrotug for TED patients, with phase 3 REVEAL-1 and REVEAL-2 topline data expected in early 2026. Promising pipeline candidates include FcRn inhibitors VRDN-006 and bispecific VRDN-008, targeting IgG-mediated autoimmune disorders with potentially superior efficacy.

Viridian Therapeutics: Veligrotug De-Risked In TED With Hints Of Differentiation
Viridian's veligrotug delivered positive data from two phase 3 trials in active and chronic TED patients. The results from the THRIVE-2 trial in chronic TED patients show hints of differentiation to Tepezza with statistically significant effects on diplopia response and diplopia resolution. Veligrotug's results also provide clinical de-risking for next-generation, subcutaneously administered candidate VRDN-003, which I expect to be the key long-term growth driver for the TED franchise.
