NEW YORK and WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DNTH), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing next-generation therapies to transform the treatment of severe autoimmune diseases, today announced one oral presentation and four poster presentations for claseprubart at the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) Annual Meeting , taking place September 29 to October 2, 2026 in Orlando, Florida.

“Despite important advances in the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis, there remains a need for therapies that can provide consistent disease control while reducing the treatment burden for patients,” said Tuan Vu, MD, Professor of Neurology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. “The sustained efficacy results and continued favorable safety profile observed for claseprubart in the Phase 2 MaGic open-label extension are encouraging and support its continued development as a potential differentiated treatment option for patients with gMG.”

“For people living with CIDP, functional impairment can have a substantial impact on everyday life, underscoring the need for new treatment options beyond IVIG,” said Richard Lewis, MD, Professor of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai. “The 75% response rate observed in the interim responder analysis of the first 40 participants completing unblinded Part A of the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial is encouraging, particularly given the consistent and clinically meaningful improvements demonstrated across multiple measures of function and disability in a broad patient population with varied prior treatment experience. These findings highlight the potential for claseprubart to offer a new approach to the treatment of CIDP.”

About Claseprubart (DNTH103)
Claseprubart is an investigational, clinical-stage, potent monoclonal antibody engineered to selectively target the classical pathway by inhibiting only the active form of the C1s protein, a clinically validated complement target. Claseprubart is enhanced with YTE half-life extension technology designed to enable a more convenient subcutaneous, infrequently dosed, self-administered injection. Additionally, selective inhibition of the classical complement pathway may lower patient risk of infection from encapsulated bacteria by preserving immune activity of the lectin and alternative pathways. As the classical pathway plays a significant role in disease pathology, claseprubart has the potential to be a best-in-disease pipeline-in-a-product across a range of autoimmune disorders with high unmet need. Claseprubart was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for the treatment of Myasthenia Gravis in May 2026.

Dianthus is building a neuromuscular franchise with claseprubart and expects to report top-line data from the Phase 2 MoMeNtum trial in Multifocal Motor Neuropathy in December ’26, to provide an update on timing of top-line data from Part B of the Phase 3 CAPTIVATE trial in Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy by YE’26, and to report top-line results from the Phase 3 EMERGE trial in generalized Myasthenia Gravis in 2H’28.

Claseprubart is an investigational agent that is not approved as a therapy in any indication in any jurisdiction worldwide.
