This Phase 2/3 study remains on track to commence in H2 2023.

Commenting on the announcement, Tim McCarthy, CEO of ImmuPharma, said:

“Following on from our announcement last week of the pre-IND meeting with the FDA on P140 in CIDP, we are delighted to confirm this meeting date with the FDA on P140 in lupus. With the prospect of both of these indications moving positively forward into pivotal studies in H2 2023 there is real value momentum building in our P140 franchise”
