Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh

Argenx's Vyvgart Hytrulo was FDA approved in June 2023 for gMG in adults, contributing to $1.2 billion in FY2023 revenues. Chugai's Enspryng failed to meet expectations in its Phase 3 LUMINESCE study for gMG, despite being developed with Roche Holdings AG (OTC:RHHBY).
