INF904 Phase 2a trial, Data expected to provide significant clarity on clinical utility in CSU and HS
Given anticipated summer enrollment trends, we expect to report topline results from the ongoing Phase 2a basket study in HS and CSU by the end of September to early November. The data will include primary endpoints of pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety and also will include key clinical benefit endpoints after 4 weeks of treatment. InflaRx believes these data will provide clarity on the clinical utility of INF904 in both CSU and HS and will significantly inform the potential paths forward for continued development.
Data released will include all three HS dosing cohorts (60 mg, 90 mg and 120 mg BID), as well as the two main CSU dosing cohorts (all-comers dosed with either 60 mg or 120 mg BID) containing both anti-IgE naïve and anti-IgE experienced patients. Enrollment in a third CSU dosing cohort (120 mg) targeting Type Iib phenotype patients very stringently selected as highly refractory to anti-IgE therapy is ongoing. The inclusion criteria for this third CSU arm have recently been broadened. Data from this last cohort in CSU will be announced in due course and, given sufficient demonstrated potential in the all-comer arms, is not expected to impact the timing of CSU Phase 2b trial initiation.
The Phase 2a trial is a multi-center, open-label study evaluating multiple INF904 dosing regimens over 4 weeks of treatment in a total of 75 patients (45 with CSU and 30 with HS). The goal of the trial is to generate additional safety and PK data and to demonstrate signs of clinical benefit, with the additional objective of informing Phase 2b trial go/no go decisions and study planning by year-end 2025.
InflaRx believes CSU and HS may each represent addressable markets of $1 billion or more for INF904. While the Company intends to focus its resources on its immediate goals in these two indications, it continues to assess the value of pursuing additional applications in inflammation via potential future collaborations with partners.
GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) for ARDS
In June 2025, BARDA announced enrollment of the first patient in the JUST BREATHE Phase 2 platform clinical trial investigating novel therapeutic candidates for ARDS. The clinical trial is being implemented by the PPD clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific and aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three host-directed therapeutic candidates at up to 60 U.S. sites, targeting a total enrollment of 600 hospitalized adult patients with ARDS.
Vilobelimab for pyoderma gangrenosum (PG)
In May 2025, InflaRx announced that the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) conducting the unblinded interim analysis for the Phase 3 trial for vilobelimab in PG recommended that the trial be stopped due to futility. This action was based on analysis of the first 30 patients enrolled in the study, with no unexpected adverse events noted by the IDMC. The Phase 3 PG study has been closed, and InflaRx is working diligently towards database lock so that all data can be analyzed and unblinded later this year. In addition, the Company continues to carefully assess the opportunity to reallocate resources from PG activities toward INF904 development.
Development progress with anti-C5a antibody BDB-001 by collaborator Staidson BioPharmaceuticals
In July 2025, Staidson BioPharmaceuticals announced that a multicenter, randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled Phase 1/2 study met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating that anti-C5a therapy can reduce corticosteroid use and enable corticosteroid-free treatment in patients with AAV. The study also met its key secondary efficacy endpoint, showing that complete remission rates in the treatment arms were non-inferior to those in the placebo group. We believe these findings highlight the potential of anti-C5a therapy to reduce corticosteroid dependency while maintaining effective disease control in this serious autoimmune condition. Based on the data, Staidson plans to advance BDB-001 into Phase 3 trials in AAV.
Under a co-development agreement in China, InflaRx granted Staidson BioPharmaceuticals the right to use the vilobelimab cell line to develop and manufacture the anti-C5a antibody BDB-001. InflaRx is entitled to receive royalties on net sales of Staidson products containing BDB-001, including mid-single-digit percentage royalties on future sales in AAV. Details of this collaboration agreement can be found in our latest 20-F filing.
Regarding the primary endpoint, week 12 partial remission rate, based on the last observation carried forward (LOCF) analysis, the four treatment groups (low dose + steroid tapering, high dose + steroid tapering, low dose without steroids, high dose without steroids) had comparable efficacy to the standard treatment group (standard steroids). Partial remission rates at week 12 were 65.0%, 76.2%, 62.5%, 76.5%, vs. 68.4% (placebo), respectively.
Regarding the secondary endpoint, week 12 complete remission rate, also based on LOCF analysis, all experimental groups showed numerically higher complete remission rates than the standard treatment group: 30.0%, 33.3%, 37.5%, 52.9%, vs. 5.3% (placebo), respectively.
Overall safety was positive, and risks were controllable. The incidence of Grade 3 or higher adverse events was 34.4%, with balanced distribution across groups (18.8%–41.2% in experimental groups vs. 47.4% in control group). The incidence of serious adverse events was 24.7%; the lowest was in the low dose without steroid group (6.3%), and the rest were comparable to control (19.0%–35.3% vs. 36.8%).
GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) in the EU
GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) is approved in the European Union (EU) under exceptional circumstances for the treatment of adults with SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS who are receiving systemic corticosteroids as part of standard of care and receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) with or without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
GOHIBIC (vilobelimab) is the first and only treatment approved in the EU for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2-induced ARDS. InflaRx continues to pursue commercial partnering and distribution options in this geography and does not expect this approach will have a materially negative impact on its cash burn rate.
Dr. Thomas Taapken, Chief Financial Officer of InflaRx, said: "With our solid balance sheet, disciplined financial management, and a cash runway into 2027, we remain well positioned for the upcoming data readouts for INF904 in CSU and HS."
Financial highlights, 2Q 2025
Revenue
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we realized €39 thousand in revenues from sales of GOHIBIC (vilobelimab). Compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, this is a decrease of €3 thousand. Sales to distributors do not constitute revenue for the Company. All revenues are attributed to sales in the United States.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €2.4 million, primarily due to higher inventory write-downs of €2.4 million. Write-downs were primarily quantities of unfinished goods on hand exceeding quantities expected to be sold prior to expiry and were determined by a multiple-scenario analysis. In the same period in 2024, write-downs were lower due to a longer inventory shelf life as of June 30, 2024.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by €0.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 to €2.5 million. This decrease is primarily due to lower third-party expenses mainly attributable to the in-sourcing of our sales staff which was previously provided through a third party and offset by higher personnel expenses.
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by €3.1 million to €14.2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to lower third-party expenses for clinical material and related manufacturing expenses.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by €1.5 million to €8.3 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, mainly due to higher legal, consulting and audit expenses of €2.4 million and higher personnel expenses in the amount of €4.3 million.
Other income
Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to €1.5 million, compared to €53 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Other income was primarily due to other income from research allowances.
Net financial result
Net financial result decreased by €1.2 million to a gain of €3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, from a gain of €4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease of the foreign exchange result by €7.3 million. Foreign currency losses amounted to €4.8 million, of which €3.6 million resulted from the valuation of our U.S. dollar denominated securities holdings as of the reporting date. Finance result decreased by €0.7 million due to lower interest income on marketable securities. Both effects were partially offset by a gain of €7.0 million from the fair value revaluation of pre-funded warrants, issued in February 2025.
Net loss
We incurred a net loss of €23.0 million, or €0.35 per ordinary share, during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to €23.5 million, or €0.40 per ordinary share, in 2024.
Liquidity and capital resources
As of June 30, 2025, our total funds available amounted to approximately €53.7 million, comprised of €13.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and €40.7 million in marketable securities.
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities decreased to €21.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from €27.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Net cash from financing activities
Net cash from financing activities increased by €27.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a public offering of ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants in the six months ended June 30, 2025.
