What changed from last quarter

  • New: LISRAYA (brepocitinib) became commercially available in the U.S. in August 2026, following FDA approval for dermatomyositis. Source

  • Ended: The IMVT-1402 study in cutaneous lupus erythematosus was discontinued in September 2026, after prior guidance for topline data in the second half of 2026. Source
  • New: The Phase 3 PHrontier study of mosliciguat in PH-ILD has been initiated and enrollment is underway, following the positive Phase 2 PHocus topline. Source

“I couldn’t be happier with the execution of our team in every domain.”

Matt Gline, CEO of Roivant

Brepocitinib uveitis and sarcoidosis

  • Uveitis Phase 3 met all key endpoints: Both CLARITY trials met the primary and all key secondary endpoints. Median time to treatment failure exceeded 48 weeks, against about 12 weeks on placebo in each study. Source
  • Steroid-free results in uveitis: Pooled across the CLARITY studies, steroid-free quiescence at Week 48 was 62% on brepocitinib against 20% on placebo, with similar results in each study. Source
  • Sarcoidosis and lichen studies progressing: Management said the Phase 3 cutaneous sarcoidosis study and the Phase 2b/3 lichen planopilaris study are progressing well. Source

IMVT-1402 autoimmune studies

  • D2T RA primary endpoint met at 600 mg: IMVT-1402 600 mg met the ACR20 primary endpoint at Week 28 in Period 2 of the potentially registrational difficult-to-treat RA trial. Source
  • 300 mg arm did not separate: The 300 mg arm did not differ from placebo, with 75.0% maintaining ACR20 at Week 28 (p=0.9426). Secondary CDAI and SDAI endpoints numerically favored 600 mg. Source
  • Period 2 tolerability reported clean: The company reported no serious adverse events, no Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent events, and no discontinuations due to adverse events in any arm. Source

Mosliciguat in PH-ILD

  • Largest reported PVR reduction: Phase 2 PHocus met its primary endpoint, with a placebo-adjusted PVR reduction of -56.3% at Week 16 (p<0.0001), which the company called the highest ever reported in a randomized PH trial. Source
  • Walk distance and NT-proBNP improved: Placebo-adjusted six-minute walk distance improved 35.2 meters at Week 16, and NT-proBNP fell 53.2% (p=0.0002). Week 24 exploratory results showed further gains. Source
  • Cough rate lower than placebo: Cough was reported by 12.1% of mosliciguat patients against 18.2% on placebo; the company noted cough is a common challenge with inhaled prostacyclins. Source

Genevant and Moderna settlement

  • Initial $950 million Moderna payment: Genevant and Arbutus received the initial $950 million under the $2.25 billion Moderna settlement in July 2026. Source
  • Section 1498 appeal argued: Oral arguments on Moderna's Section 1498 appeal were held on November 5, 2026. The further $1.3 billion depends on that appeal. Source
  • Pfizer and BioNTech suits filed: In July 2026 Genevant and Arbutus filed three international suits against Pfizer and BioNTech, covering 21 jurisdictions; the U.S. case remains in discovery.

Research and admin spending

  • R&D fell on anti-FcRn spending: Anti-FcRn costs fell $18.3 million, reflecting the discontinued CLE study and batoclimab wind-down; mosliciguat costs rose $11.6 million. Source
  • SG&A rose on launch costs: SG&A rose $11.0 million to $154.1 million, mainly from LISRAYA launch spending, partly offset by an $11.2 million retention award expensed in the prior-year quarter. Source
  • Adjusted costs excluding share comp: Adjusted SG&A was $82.5 million, against $72.1 million a year earlier. Adjusted R&D was $137.4 million, against $152.9 million. Source

Cash and share repurchases

  • Cash and securities reached $4.2 billion: Consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $4.2 billion at September 30, 2026, including the July Moderna payment. Source
  • Shares repurchased during quarter: The company repurchased 2.1 million common shares for about $72.5 million, against 7.3 million shares for $208.7 million in the prior quarter. Source
  • Runway into profitability cited: The prior quarter's $3.9 billion excluded the Moderna payment. Management said the cash position supports runway into profitability.

Coming up, as management said on 9 November 2026

  • Investor Day in December: Roivant will host an Investor Day in New York City and virtually on December 9, 2026. Source
  • Contingent $1.3 billion Moderna payment: An additional $1.3 billion under the Moderna settlement depends on a favorable resolution of the Section 1498 appeal for Genevant and Arbutus. Source
  • Ongoing mosliciguat studies: The Phase 3 PHrontier study and the Phase 2 PHactor combination study with inhaled treprostinil in PH-ILD are ongoing. Source
