argenx - Setback in Pemphigus, Bullous pemphigoid under review

*This morning, ARGX reported a negative outcome of the ADDRESS trial for the Pemphigus indication. Surprisingly, the low steroid dose in the placebo arm drove significant Dsg1/3 reduction sending patients into complete sustained remission; VYVGART® Hytrulo had little room to deliver further benefit. ARGX will drop the Pemphigus indication.*Also, ARGX decided to not make a GO/NO-GO decision in the BALLAD study and will take today's learnings into account to revise the trial design.*We cut our TP to EUR 502 but maintain our conviction in the name. Buy reiterated in light of the 2024 news flow incl. (additional) readouts for Efgar
