New Data from REZOLVE-AD Study of Rezpegaldesleukin Presented in Late-Breaking Oral Abstract Presentation at ACAAI 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting

Statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in mean ACQ-5 scores were reported at week 16 versus placebo in patients who had atopic dermatitis and a history of asthma

Extended dosing with rezpegaldesleukin q2w supports 24-week induction period for planned Phase 3 studies with improvement across major efficacy endpoints from Week 16 to 24, including EASI-75, EASI-90, and vIGA-AD

Data from long-term maintenance portion of REZOLVE-AD with 52 weeks of treatment expected in Q1 2026 from REZOLVE-AD study

Top-line Phase 2b data for rezpegaldesleukin in alopecia areata to be reported in December 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nektar Therapeutics (Nasdaq: NKTR) today presented new data from the ongoing REZOLVE-AD Phase 2b study in a late-breaking oral abstract presentation at the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting.

Rezpegaldesleukin is a first-in-class IL-2 pathway agonist and regulatory T-cell (Treg) biologic currently being studied in a Phase 2b study in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (REZOLVE-AD) and a separate Phase 2b study in patients with severe-to-very-severe alopecia areata (REZOLVE-AA).

"Given that approximately one in four patients with atopic dermatitis also have asthma, improving asthma symptoms is a significant consideration in clinical treatment decisions," said lead author Dr. Jonathan Corren, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles. "The results with rezpegaldesleukin in patients with atopic dermatitis and comorbid asthma demonstrate that promotion of Treg activity may also have benefits to the lower airways, an observation which warrants further investigation."

The Phase 2b REZOLVE-AD trial enrolled 393 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, of which 99 patients also reported having a history of asthma with ACQ-5 data available at both baseline and week 16. A pre-planned analysis in the study evaluated scores from a validated Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-5) at baseline and at the end of the 16-week induction period. For the patients reporting a history of asthma, all three rezpegaldesleukin doses demonstrated an overall reduction in mean observed ACQ-5 scores at week 16 with two dose arms (24 μg/kg q2w and 24 μg/kg q4w) achieving statistical significance (p...
