Key Events
-
SHORE Phase 3 Study Success

-
COAST 2 Phase 3 Study Mixed Results
Amlitelimab monotherapy met the primary endpoint for US and US reference countries in the COAST 2 study but did not achieve statistical significance for co-primary endpoints in the EU and EU reference countries.
-
Positive ATLANTIS Phase 2 Long-Term Data
Preliminary analysis of the ATLANTIS Phase 2 study showed continued and progressive improvements in skin clearance and disease severity through Week 52, with a consistent safety profile.
-
Global Regulatory Submissions Planned
Based on the totality of data, Sanofi will move forward with global regulatory submissions for amlitelimab in the second half of 2026.
Analysis
Sanofi announced mixed Phase 3 results for its atopic dermatitis drug candidate, amlitelimab. While the SHORE study met all primary and key secondary endpoints, the COAST 2 study failed to achieve statistical significance for co-primary endpoints in the EU and EU reference countries, despite meeting US endpoints. This indicates a potential challenge in a major market. However, the company's decision to proceed with global regulatory submissions, supported by positive SHORE data and long-term Phase 2 results, suggests confidence in the drug's overall profile and market potential. Investors will monitor the regulatory submission process and further data releases, especially concerning the EU market strategy.
