Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) today announced results from its Phase 2a study
of PF-06651600, an oral Janus kinase (JAK) 3 inhibitor, and PF-06700841,
a tyrosine kinase (TYK) 2/JAK1 inhibitor, compared to placebo, in
patients with moderate to severe alopecia areata (AA), an autoimmune
disease characterized by hair loss and often associated with profound
psychological consequences. Both JAK inhibitors met the primary efficacy
endpoint in improving hair regrowth on the scalp relative to baseline at
week 24 (33.6 points and 49.5 points for JAK3 and TYK2/JAK1,
respectively) as measured by the Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score
(100 point scale). The findings were presented during a Late-Breaking

kinase 3 (JAK3) inhibitor PF-06651600 received Breakthrough

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) announced today that it is terminating two
ongoing clinical studies evaluating domagrozumab (PF-06252616) for the
treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD): a Phase 2 safety and
efficacy study (B5161002) and an open-label extension study (B5161004).
The Phase 2 study (B5161002), did not meet its primary efficacy
endpoint, which was to demonstrate a difference in the mean change from
baseline in 4 Stair Climb (in seconds) following one year of treatment
with domagrozumab as compared to placebo in patients with DMD. Further
evaluation of the totality of evidence including secondary endpoints did
not support a significant treatment effect. The decision comes after a
thorough review of data available at the time of the primary analysis,
which evaluated all study participants after one year of treatment, as
well as those participants who were in the trial beyond one year. The
studies were not terminated for safety reasons. Pfizer will continue to
review the data to better understand any insights they may provide, and
will share results with the scientific and patient community.

hospitalizations compared to placebo over a 30-month period (P=0.0006)
in patients with wild-type or variant (hereditary) transthyretin amyloid
cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).1 ATTR-CM is a rare, fatal, and
underdiagnosed condition associated with progressive heart failure for
which there are no approved pharmacologic treatments.2,3
