Company and Industry Key Points **1. Tolebrutinib Phase 3 Data**: * **GEMINI 1 and 2 Trials**: Phase 3 trials evaluating Tolebrutinib in relapsing MS compared to Teriflunomide. No significant difference in annualized relapse rate, but a 29% risk reduction in confirmed disability worsening at six months with Tolebrutinib vs. Teriflunomide [7-13]. * **HERCULES Trial**: Phase 3 trial evaluating Tolebrutinib in non-relapsing secondary progressive MS. 31% risk reduction in time to six-month confirmed disability progression and 88% increase in six-month confirmed disability improvement vs. placebo [21-25]. * **Liver Safety**: 5.6% of Tolebrutinib-treated patients experienced liver enzyme elevation >3x upper limit of normal. All cases resolved without sequelae and occurred within the first 90 days of treatment [17-19, 27-28]. **2. Tolebrutinib's Mechanism of Action**: * Tolebrutinib appears to have a clear effect on reducing disability accumulation, independent of relapse rate or focal inflammatory disease. This suggests a potential for a new standard of care in SPMS [18, 20, 30]. **3. Frexalimab**: * Frexalimab, a CD40-Ligand inhibitor, is being investigated for MS. Phase 2 data shows promising results with low ARR and stable EDSS [36-37]. **4. Sanofi's Commitment to MS**: * Sanofi has a strong commitment to MS and is developing a comprehensive portfolio of treatments, including Tolebrutinib, Frexalimab, and other molecules [33-37]. Additional Important Points **1. Regulatory Approval**: * Sanofi plans to submit regulatory filings for Tolebrutinib in SPMS and is working on FDA labeling strategies [76-77]. **2. Patient Access**: * Sanofi aims to accelerate approval and make Tolebrutinib available to patients as soon as possible [32, 33]. **3. Future Research**: * Sanofi plans to conduct further research on Tolebrutinib and Frexalimab, including subgroup analyses and studies in other MS populations [95-97].
