argenx Vyvgart phase 3 in TED stopped due to lack of efficacy

argenx announced that the phase 3 (UplighTED) studies evaluating Vyvgart subcutaneous (SC) in adults with moderate to severe thyroid eye disease (TED) will be discontinued following a pre-specified unblinded interim analysis from patients completing 24 weeks of treatment. The decision to stop the trial due to lack of efficacy in TED is disappointing, however, the company notes that its pipeline strategy anticipates attrition. Of the 2026 phase 3 readouts, TED was the only program where argenx leveraged an external dataset, rather than establishing its own proof-of-concept. For reference, this program represents approx. 4% in our SOTP, and we view any weakness in the shares today as a buying opportunity as the company is set for 4 remaining phase 3 data readouts in 2026. We plan to incorporate this in a future model update. BUY maintained.
