•Secured positive feedback from both U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the E.U. European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) on the regulatory path for the Phase 3 program of the Nanobody® sonelokimab in psoriatic arthritis (“PsA”) and outlined the clinical plan with topline results anticipated in end-2026
•Ended the quarter with $519.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable debt securities, expected to support a roadmap rich in potential catalysts whilst providing a cash runway to the end of 2026
•Capital Markets Update to be held on Wednesday, September 11 – to provide an update on market opportunity and trial execution
ZUG, Switzerland, August 7, 2024 – MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ:MLTX) (“MoonLake” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on creating next-level therapies for inflammatory diseases, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2024. MoonLake continues to make significant progress in advancing its investigational Nanobody® sonelokimab in a number of dermatological and rheumatological inflammatory indications.
Following positive top-line results from its global Phase 2 MIRA trial announced last year, the Company initiated its global Phase 3 VELA program during the quarter to evaluate sonelokimab for a total of 52 weeks in an estimated total of 800 patients with moderate-to-severe HS. Management anticipates topline results of the 16 weeks primary endpoint as of mid-2025. The initiation of an additional Phase 3 study in adolescents with HS, the VELA TEEN trial, is on track for enrollment of the first patients around year-end.
MoonLake also received positive regulatory feedback from both the FDA and the EMA during the quarter which clarifies the path for its Phase 3 IZAR program in PsA. IZAR-1 will focus on bio-naïve patients* and radiographic progression whilst IZAR-2 will focus on TNF-IR patients**. The IZAR program will feature risankizumab as a reference arm and is expected to enroll around 1,500 patients, starting in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Preparations for the initiation of additional Phase 2 trials of sonelokimab in palmo-plantar pustulosis (“PPP”), radiographic and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (“axSpA”) are ongoing and progressing according to plan for an expected enrollment of first patients before the end of the year.
Dr. Jorge Santos da Silva, Chief Executive Officer of MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, said: “This quarter saw us take important steps towards registration as we enrolled the first patients into the HS Phase 3 trials for our Nanobody® sonelokimab. By the end of the of the year we expect to have Phase 3 programs underway in both HS and PsA, two major inflammation & immunology indications. Given that HS most commonly manifests in young adults, we also plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial in adolescent HS which we expect to be the first dedicated clinical trial focused on the adolescent HS population. Our additional trials in PPP, axSpA and PsA are expected to provide further opportunities for MoonLake. Our team continues to grow in a carefully managed way, adding new capabilities to support our maturing status. We look forward to providing further updates on progress at our Capital Markets Update in September.”
Q2 highlights (including post-period end)
•Initiated Phase 3 VELA program of the Nanobody® sonelokimab in patients with moderate-to-severe HS; VELA is the first Phase 3 program in HS to use the higher clinical response (HiSCR75); topline primary endpoint readout (week 16) expected as of mid-2025
•Received positive feedback from both the FDA and EMA on the regulatory path for IZAR, the second Phase 3 program to be initiated by MoonLake this year, that outlined the development plan for the program to evaluate sonelokimab for a total of 52 weeks in patients with active PsA;
two trials planned – one focusing on bio-naïve patients* and radiographic progression (IZAR-1) and the other on TNF-IR patients** (IZAR-2) with topline results anticipated by end-2026
•Presented Week 12 efficacy and safety outcomes from the Phase 2 ARGO trial in PsA patients at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology Congress (EULAR) congress in Vienna
•Signed a three-year technology partnership with Komodo Health to advance research on inflammatory skin and joint conditions and presented initial data from this partnership, indicating that at least two million Americans have been diagnosed with HS as of 2023, highlighting a significant unmet need and impact on healthcare systems, and a potential market opportunity exceeding $10bn by 2035
* Patients without previous exposure to biologics
** Patients with an inadequate response to TNF inhibitors
First quarter 2024 financial results
As of June 30, 2024, MoonLake held cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable debt securities of $519.8 million. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, were $23.7 million, compared to $13.0 million in the previous quarter. The increase was primarily due to expenses incurred to initiate new clinical trials. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $6.9 million, similar to the $6.8 million incurred in the previous quarter.
Matthias Bodenstedt, Chief Financial Officer at MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, said: “MoonLake is in full execution mode and on track for many important data reads in 2025, including the anticipated primary readout of the Phase 3 HS VELA program. With over $500 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable debt securities on the balance sheet, we remain well capitalized and our runway guidance to the end of 2026 remains unchanged. Recent market feedback confirms the significant unmet need and commercial opportunity in our focus indications, and we believe that Sonelokimab is uniquely positioned to capture this opportunity.”

About MoonLake Immunotherapeutics
MoonLake Immunotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company unlocking the potential of sonelokimab, a novel investigational Nanobody® for the treatment of inflammatory disease, to revolutionize outcomes for patients. Sonelokimab inhibits IL-17A and IL-17F by inhibiting the IL-17A/A, IL-17A/F, and IL-17F/F dimers that drive inflammation. The company’s focus is on inflammatory diseases with a major unmet need, including hidradenitis suppurativa and psoriatic arthritis – conditions affecting millions of people worldwide with a large need for improved treatment options. MoonLake was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. Further information is available at www.moonlaketx.com.
About Sonelokimab
Sonelokimab (M1095) is an investigational ~40 kDa humanized Nanobody® consisting of three VHH domains covalently linked by flexible glycine-serine spacers. With two domains, sonelokimab selectively binds with high affinity to IL-17A and IL-17F, thereby inhibiting the IL-17A/A, IL-17A/F, and IL-17F/F dimers. A third central domain binds to human albumin, facilitating further enrichment of sonelokimab at sites of inflammatory edema.
Sonelokimab is being assessed in two lead indications, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and psoriatic arthritis (PSA), and the Company is pursuing other indications in dermatology and rheumatology.
For HS, sonelokimab is being assessed in two Phase 3 trials, VELA-1 and VELA-2 following the successful outcome of MoonLake’s end-of-Phase 2 interactions with the FDA and as well as positive feedback from its interactions with the EMA announced in February 2024. In October 2023, the full dataset from the Phase 2 MIRA trial at 24 weeks (NCT05322473) showed that maintenance treatment with sonelokimab led to further improvements in Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR)75 which is a higher measure of clinical response versus the HiSCR50 measure used in other clinical trials, setting a landmark milestone and other clinically relevant outcomes. Prior to this, in June 2023, topline results of the MIRA trial at 12 weeks showed that the trial met its primary endpoint, HiSCR75.
For PsA, Phase 3 initiation is anticipated in Q4 2024 following the announcement in March 2024 of the full dataset from the global Phase 2 ARGO trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of the Nanobody® sonelokimab over 24 weeks in patients with active PsA. Significant improvements were observed across all key outcomes, including approximately 60% of patients treated with sonelokimab achieving an ACR50 response at week 24. This followed the positive top-line results in November 2023, where the trial met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant greater proportion of patients treated with either sonelokimab 60mg or 120mg (with induction) achieving an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 50 response compared to those on placebo at week 12. All key secondary endpoints in the trial were met for the 60mg and 120mg doses with induction.
A Phase 2 trial is expected to be initiated in palmo-plantar pustulosis (PPP), a debilitating disease affecting a significant number of patients. In addition, a Phase 3 trial is expected to initiate in adolescent HS, a disease that typically begins at this early stage of a patient’s life, and also the period in which irreversible damage and inflammatory remission is most critical.
Sonelokimab will also be assessed for seronegative spondyloarthritis with a Phase 2 trial in radiographic and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) expected to start in 2024. The trials will feature an innovative design complementing traditional clinical outcomes with modern imaging techniques.
Sonelokimab has also been assessed in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial (NCT03384745) in 313 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis. High threshold clinical responses (Investigator’s Global Assessment Score 0 or 1, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90/100) were observed in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis. Sonelokimab was generally well tolerated, with a safety profile similar to the active control, secukinumab (Papp KA, et al. Lancet. 2021; 397:1564-1575).
In an earlier Phase 1 trial in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis, sonelokimab has been shown to decrease (to normal skin levels) the cutaneous gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (Svecova D. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2019;81:196–203).
About Nanobodies®
Nanobodies® represent a new generation of antibody-derived targeted therapies. They consist of one or more domains based on the small antigen-binding variable regions of heavy-chain-only antibodies (VHH). Nanobodies® have a number of potential advantages over traditional antibodies, including their small size, enhanced tissue penetration, resistance to temperature changes, ease of manufacturing, and their ability to be designed into multivalent therapeutic molecules with bespoke target combinations.
The terms Nanobody® and Nanobodies® are trademarks of Ablynx, a Sanofi company.
About the VELA program
The VELA program is expected to enroll 800 patients across two similarly designed Phase 3 trials (VELA-1 and VELA-2) with the aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Nanobody® sonelokimab, administered subcutaneously, in adult patients with active moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa. Similar to the design of the landmark Phase 2 MIRA trial, the primary endpoint of the program is the percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75), defined as a ≥75% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count with no increase in abscess or draining tunnel count relative to baseline. The trial will also evaluate a number of secondary endpoints, including the proportion of patients achieving Hidradenitis Suppurative Clinical Response (HiSCR50), the change from baseline in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4), the proportion of patients achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score of ≤5, and the proportion of patients achieving at least 30% reduction from baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) in the Patient’s Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain). Further details are available under NCT06411379 and NCT06411899 at ClinicalTrials.gov.
About the MIRA trial
The MIRA trial (M1095-HS-201) is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Nanobody® sonelokimab, administered subcutaneously, in the treatment of adult patients with active moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. The trial recruited 234 patients, with the aim to evaluate two different doses of sonelokimab, with placebo control and adalimumab as an active control reference arm. The primary endpoint of the trial is the percentage of participants achieving Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response 75 (HiSCR75), defined as a ≥75% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule (AN) count with no increase in abscess or draining tunnel count relative to baseline. The trial also evaluated a number of secondary endpoints, including the proportion of patients achieving HiSCR50, the change from baseline in International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System (IHS4), the proportion of patients achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score of ≤5, and the proportion of patients achieving at least 30% reduction from baseline in Numerical Rating Scale (NRS30) in the Patient’s Global Assessment of Skin Pain (PGA Skin Pain). Further details are available on: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05322473
About the ARGO trial
The ARGO trial (M1095-PSA-201) is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the sonelokimab, administered subcutaneously, in the treatment of adult patients with active PsA. The trial recruited 207 patients, with the aim to evaluate different doses of sonelokimab, with placebo control and adalimumab as an active reference arm. The primary endpoint of the trial is the percentage of participants achieving ≥50% improvement in signs and symptoms of disease from baseline, compared to placebo, as measured by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 50 response. The trial also evaluated a number of secondary endpoints, including improvement compared to placebo in ACR70, complete skin clearance as measured by at least a 100% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, physical function as measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, enthesitis as measured by the Leeds Enthesitis Index and pain as measured by the Patients Assessment of Arthritis Pain. Further details are available on: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05640245
About Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa is a severely debilitating chronic skin condition resulting in irreversible tissue destruction. HS manifests as painful inflammatory skin lesions, typically around the armpits, groin, and buttocks. Over time, uncontrolled and inadequately treated inflammation can result in irreversible tissue destruction and scarring. The disease affects 0.05–4.1% of the global population, with three times more females affected than males. Real-world data indicates that at least 2 million Americans have been diagnosed with HS as of 2023, highlighting a significant unmet need and impact on healthcare systems, and a market opportunity exceeding $10bn by 2035. Onset typically occurs in early adulthood and HS has a profound negative impact on quality of life, with a higher morbidity than other dermatologic conditions. There is increasing scientific evidence to support IL-17A- and IL-17F-mediated inflammation as a key driver of the pathogenesis of HS, with other identified risk factors including genetics, cigarette smoking, and obesity.
About Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis primarily affecting the peripheral joints. The clinical features of PsA are diverse, involving pain, swelling, and stiffness of the joints, which can result in restricted mobility and fatigue. PsA occurs in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis, most commonly those aged between 30 and 60 years. The symptom burden of PsA can have a substantial negative impact on patient quality of life. Although the exact mechanism of disease is not fully understood, evidence suggests that activation of the IL-17 pathway plays an important role in the disease pathophysiology.
