Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 25, 2020, Immunovant, Inc. (“Immunovant”) issued a press release and held a conference call announcing topline results from its ASCEND MG trial. A copy of the press release and the presentation discussed on the conference call are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) made by Immunovant, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On August 25, 2020, Immunovant issued a press release announcing topline results from its ASCEND MG trial.

The ASCEND MG trial is a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of IMVT-1401 in patients with moderate-to-severe generalized myasthenia gravis (“MG”). Results from the six-week treatment period included three arms: 340 mg IMVT-1401 weekly (N=5), 680 mg IMVT-1401 weekly (N=5), and placebo (N=5). Initially, the trial had a target enrollment of 21 patients, however, after taking into consideration the impact of COVID-19 as well as recent data from other anti-FcRn programs that have validated this mechanism in MG, Immunovant elected to unblind and report the study with 15 patients enrolled.

As evaluated in a pre-specified, pooled analysis of 15 patients who completed Day 42, IMVT-1401-treated patients (N =10) showed a mean 3.8-point improvement on the MG Activities of Daily Living (“MG-ADL”) scale vs. a mean decline of +0.6 for placebo, a result that was statistically significant (p = 0.029). IMVT-1401-treated patients also showed a highly statistically significant improvement on the MG Composite (“MGC”) scale, with an average improvement of 8.0 points vs. a mean decline of +1.4 for placebo (p = 0.006).

MG-ADL responder rates, defined as the percentage of patients showing a > 2-point improvement, were 60% for IMVT-1401-treated patients vs. 20% for placebo. MG-ADL deep responder rates, defined in the study as the percentage of patients showing a > 6-point improvement, were 40% for IMVT-1401-treated patients vs. 0% for placebo. MGC deep responder rates, defined in the study as the percentage of patients showing a > 10-point improvement, were 40% for IMVT-1401-treated patients vs. 0% for placebo.

Consistent with previously reported Phase 1 results, IMVT-1401 was observed to be well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported, no withdrawals due to adverse events, and no imbalance in headaches. Mean reductions in total serum IgG from baseline to Day 42 for the 340 mg and 680 mg cohorts were 59% and 76%, respectively.

In addition, Immunovant has updated its anticipated clinical development timelines. Immunovant anticipates initiating its Phase 3 clinical trial of IMVT-1401 in patients with MG in the first half of calendar year 2021. Immunovant currently remains on track to report initial results from its ASCEND GO-2 trial, a Phase 2b clinical trial of IMVT-1401 for thyroid eye disease in the United States, Canada and Europe, in the first half of calendar year 2021. Immunovant plans to report initial results from the high-dose cohort of its Phase 2a trial of IMVT-1401 in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia in the first quarter of calendar year 2021. Immunovant intends to announce three new indications over the next 12 months.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. The use of words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, all statements Immunovant makes regarding the timing, progress and reporting of results of its clinical programs and the timing of the announcement of future indications are forward-looking. All forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by

Immunovant’s management that, although Immunovant believes to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Immunovant expected. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, initial results or other preliminary analyses or results of early clinical trials may not be predictive of final trial results or of the results of later clinical trials; future clinical trials may not confirm any safety, potency or other product characteristics described or assumed in this Current Report on Form 8-K; any product candidates that Immunovant develops may not progress through clinical development or receive required regulatory approvals within expected timelines or at all; Immunovant’s product candidates may not be beneficial to patients, or even if approved by regulatory authorities, successfully commercialized; the potential impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Immunovant’s clinical development plans and timelines; Immunovant’s business is heavily dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of its sole product candidate, IMVT-1401; and Immunovant will require additional capital to fund its operations and advance IMVT-1401 through clinical development. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Immunovant’s periodic and other reports filed with the SEC, including in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Immunovant’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 12, 2020, and Immunovant’s subsequent filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it was made. Immunovant undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
