Sanofi halts MOBILIZE phase 3 study for riliprubart
Sanofi today announced the discontinuation of the MOBILIZE phase 3 study evaluating riliprubart in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) refractory to standard-of-care treatment. The decision follows an interim analysis by an independent data monitoring committee, which concluded that the study is unlikely to provide sufficient efficacy. Despite the termination, the analysis identified no safety signals related to riliprubart.

Sanofi today announced the discontinuation of the MOBILIZE phase 3 study evaluating riliprubart in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) refractory to standard-of-care treatment. The decision follows an interim analysis by an independent data monitoring committee, which concluded that the study is unlikely to provide sufficient efficacy. Despite the termination, the analysis identified no safety signals related to riliprubart.
The company stated that the termination of the MOBILIZE study will not incur any significant financial cost. Consequently, there is no change to the financial guidance for 2026. Sanofi will work with investigators and site teams to ensure a wind-down of the study, including the appropriate transition of care for all enrolled patients. A thorough analysis of the data will be conducted to inform future research directions.
Study Details and Future Evaluation
The MOBILIZE study (clinical study identifier: NCT06290128) focused on patients who did not respond to standard-of-care treatments. While this specific trial is stopping, Sanofi noted that the continuation of other ongoing studies with riliprubart will be evaluated accordingly. This includes the VITALIZE phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06290141) in IVIg-treated patients with CIDP.
| Study Name | Identifier | Patient Population | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| MOBILIZE | NCT06290128 | Refractory to standard-of-care | Stopped |
| VITALIZE | NCT06290141 | IVIg-treated | Ongoing |
About Riliprubart
Riliprubart (SAR445088, BIVV020) is an IgG4 humanized monoclonal antibody designed to selectively inhibit activated C1s in the classical complement pathway. By blocking C1s, the drug aims to inhibit key inflammatory mechanisms that drive demyelination and axonal damage in CIDP. The safety and efficacy of riliprubart have not yet been evaluated by any regulatory authority.

Will the negative efficacy data from the refractory patient population prompt a strategic review or potential halt of the ongoing VITALIZE study in IVIg-treated patients?
How will Sanofi adjust its R&D priorities and capital allocation for riliprubart given the mixed clinical results across different CIDP subtypes?
Does the failure in the MOBILIZE study suggest that inhibiting the classical complement pathway is insufficient for treating patients refractory to standard-of-care therapies?
