Should Batoclimab’s Phase 3 Miss in Thyroid Eye Disease Require Action From Immunovant (IMVT) Investors?
Immunovant Inc IMVT | 24.73 | +0.49% |
- In early April 2026, Immunovant reported topline data showing that its two Phase 3 GO studies of batoclimab in adults with active, moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease did not meet the primary endpoint of a 2mm or greater proptosis responder rate at Week 24, although safety remained consistent with prior findings and no new signals emerged.
- The company highlighted that proptosis improvements were greater during the initial high-dose period, reinforcing the role of deeper IgG suppression, and reaffirmed its emphasis on advancing IMVT-1402, particularly in Graves’ disease, while it reviews batoclimab’s future with partner HanAll Biopharma.
- Next, we’ll examine how batoclimab’s Phase 3 setback, despite stable safety, could affect Immunovant’s earlier investment narrative around IMVT-1402.

Immunovant Investment Narrative Recap
To own Immunovant, you have to believe its FcRn platform, and especially IMVT-1402, can translate clean biology into real-world autoimmune therapies despite zero current revenue and ongoing losses. The failed Phase 3 TED trials for batoclimab undercut one potential asset but do not directly change the next major catalyst, which remains IMVT-1402 data in Graves’ disease, while reinforcing the key risk that any development setback in 1402 could hit the core thesis.
The April 2026 batoclimab update sits alongside Immunovant’s earlier move to wind down most batoclimab work and expand IMVT-1402 into Sjögren's and cutaneous lupus, leaning harder into a single FcRn franchise. That shift increases the importance of 1402’s upcoming readouts as the main value driver, while past follow-on equity raises and net losses of US$357.75 million over nine months highlight how dependent the story is on successful late-stage data.
Yet beneath the focus on 1402’s upside, investors should also be aware of the risk that ongoing dilution and high implied valuation multiples could...
Immunovant's narrative projects $381.4 million in revenue and $47.7 million in earnings by 2029. This implies an earnings increase of about $512 million from -$464.2 million today.
Uncover how Immunovant's forecasts yield a $41.12 fair value, a 68% upside to its current price.
Exploring Other Perspectives
Before this setback, the most optimistic analysts were assuming about US$520.0 million of revenue and US$56.6 million of earnings by 2029, which is much rosier than consensus, so you should expect those views on trial risk and timing to evolve as the batoclimab TED miss is digested.
