Company to Host Business Update Call Today at 8:00 a.m. ET
BRISBANE, Calif., August 12, 2026 – Annexon, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANNX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing the next
generation platform of targeted immunotherapies aimed at neuroinflammatory diseases that impact nearly 10 million people worldwide, today highlighted portfolio progress, announced key anticipated milestones, and reported second quarter 2026
financial results. The Company will host a business update call today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss corporate and clinical developments across its C1q-focused neuroinflammatory pipeline. Please register for the
event here.
“2026 is a defining year for our company, with meaningful progress across both our Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and
geographic atrophy (GA) programs that position us to potentially deliver two transformative therapies for millions of patients in need. The quality and consistency of the data generated to date reinforce our confidence in the differentiated
potential of our C1q-targeted approaches to address neuroinflammatory diseases at their source, and we are encouraged by the growing enthusiasm from patients and physicians,” said Douglas Love, president
and chief executive officer of Annexon. “With our leadership capabilities and financial position strengthened, we are entering an exciting period of execution, with multiple important clinical and regulatory milestones expected over the next 6
to 12 months and a significant opportunity to create value for patients and stakeholders.”
2026 Strategic Priorities and Key Milestones
Tanruprubart: Potential to be the first targeted, fast-acting therapy for GBS, an indiscriminate life-threatening neuromuscular emergency affecting 150,000
people annually worldwide and driving an estimated $20+ billion annual healthcare burden in the U.S.
•
Early improvement in strength and clinically meaningful reduction in disability shown with tanruprubart in the
first ten U.S. and European patients with GBS from the ongoing, open-label FORWARD study. Early outcomes reinforce the consistency and reproducibility of tanruprubart treatment effect previously demonstrated in Phase 3 and real-world evidence
studies.
•
EU Marketing Authorisation Application under review with the European Medicines Agency supported by robust data
package demonstrating rapid benefit on function and disability in placebo-controlled studies and Real-World Evidence study demonstrating favorable outcomes versus current treatments, intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange.
•
Next Milestone: Biologics License Application (BLA) submission with U.S./European data from FORWARD trial
expected in fourth quarter of 2026.
Vonaprument: Potential to be the first targeted vision-preserving therapy for GA, a leading
cause of blindness affecting more than 8 million patients worldwide.
•
The ongoing, global, double masked Phase 3 ARCHER II trial remains on track, and all eligible patients have
received at least 12 months of treatment, with masked event accrual consistent with projected timelines. Vonaprument continues to be generally well-tolerated with a low discontinuation rate (<10%) and high compliance (>95%), reinforcing
significant enthusiasm by physicians/patients.
•
To maximize the
best-in-class potential of vonaprument, a Month 24 dual primary endpoint was added while maintaining the Month 15 primary endpoint.
This strategic enhancement was enabled by the strong power and execution of the Phase 3 ARCHER II trial. With a dual primary endpoint strategy, ARCHER II can achieve success in protecting against vision loss at either Month 15 or 24, which are
independent efficacy timepoints.
•
Annexon also launched an open-label extension (OLE) study to evaluate the the long-term safety and benefit of
vonaprument in patients with GA. Following completion of the 2-year ARCHER II study, all patients have the option to receive monthly vonaprument treatment in the OLE study.
•
Next Milestones: Month 15 primary endpoint on track for the fourth quarter of 2026, with final trial
completion, including the Month 24 primary endpoint expected in the third quarter of 2027.
ANX1502 for Autoimmune
Conditions: First-in-kind oral small molecule inhibiting activated C1s, with convenient and flexible dosing.
•
Dosing is complete. The ongoing
proof-of-concept (POC) study is evaluating pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) in relation to food intake, and reduction in complement and bilirubin markers
as a measure of hemolysis in patients with cold agglutinin disease (CAD).
•
Next Milestone: Update on POC trial in CAD anticipated in the Fall of 2026.
Corporate Updates
•
Entered into a strategic credit facility of up to $200 million with Oxford Finance LLC, with an initial
$50 million drawn at closing, bolstering Annexon’s financial position, and diversifying its capital structure.
•
Appointed Mark S. Blumenkranz, M.D., M.M.S., a retinal surgeon and biotechnology entrepreneur with more than four
decades of clinical, scientific and corporate leadership experience, to Annexon’s board of directors as the Company prepares for potential commercialization.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
•
Cash and operating runway: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $209.2 million as
of June 30, 2026. Annexon’s current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and funds from the credit facility are expected to fund operations and anticipated milestones into 2028.
•
Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $46.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2026, compared to $44.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The change in R&D expenses is primarily associated with the Phase 3 ARCHER II trial of vonaprument in GA and contract manufacturing expenses of
our product candidates.
•
General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $10.6 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2026, compared to $7.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The change in G&A expenses reflects ongoing corporate consulting and professional services costs for the advancement of our registrational
programs.
•
Net loss: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $55.3 million or $0.28 per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared to $49.2 million or $0.34 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Annexon Expands Vonaprument Phase 3 Program in Geographic Atrophy with Addition of Month 24 Dual Primary
Endpoint Complementing Month 15 Primary Endpoint and Launch of Open-Label Extension Study
Strong Execution of Well-Powered ARCHER
II Trial Reaffirms Month 15 Primary Endpoint on Track for Q4 2026
Strategic Expansion Underscores Vonaprument’s Best-in-Class Potential as the First and Only Treatment for Vision Preservation in GA
BRISBANE, Calif., August 12, 2026 – Annexon, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANNX), a biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation
platform of targeted immunotherapies for multiple neuroinflammatory diseases that impact nearly 10 million people worldwide, today announced the addition of a Month 24 dual primary endpoint to complement the current Month 15 primary endpoint in
its Phase 3 ARCHER II trial, and launch of an open-label extension (OLE) study of vonaprument for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) with geographic atrophy (GA). With a dual primary
endpoint strategy, ARCHER II can achieve success in protecting against vision loss at either Month 15 or 24, which are independent efficacy timepoints.
“Our objective is to maximize the best-in-class potential of vonaprument
to preserve visual acuity for millions of patients at risk of irreversible vision loss. The strong power and execution of our Phase 3 ARCHER II trial provide a clear opportunity to seamlessly incorporate a Month 24 dual primary endpoint while
maintaining the Month 15 primary endpoint,” said Douglas Love, president and chief executive officer of Annexon. “As ARCHER II was already designed to remain masked through Month 24, this strategic addition allows us to also evaluate the
longer-term profile of vonaprument for inclusion into the label without change to the study operation. We look forward to delivering the Month 15 data milestone on schedule in the fourth quarter of this year and delivering Month 24 data thereafter
as a separate and additional assessment.”
In the ongoing global, double-masked Phase 3 ARCHER II trial, all eligible patients have received at
least 12 months of treatment, with masked event accrual in line with projections. The study retains strong statistical power and continues to be well-executed with a low discontinuation rate (<10%) and high compliance (>95%), reinforcing
significant enthusiasm by physicians and patients. Upon completion of Month 24, all patients have the option to receive monthly vonaprument treatment in the OLE study. The OLE study is designed to evaluate the long-term safety and benefit of
vonaprument in patients with GA.
An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will assess the primary endpoint of the overall study at Month 15, and
the Company expects to report the DMC’s assessment in the fourth quarter of 2026. Following this assessment, the DMC may recommend that the ARCHER II overall study has met its Month 15 primary endpoint, enabling the planned analysis of the
trial’s two sub-studies, with results anticipated in the first quarter of 2027; or it may recommend that the study continues until the Month 24 primary endpoint analysis. Completion of ARCHER II,
including the Month 24 analyses, is expected in the third quarter of 2027.
Vonaprument has received FastTrack Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and is the only GA program to receive PRIME designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Vonaprument was also selected by EMA for the exclusive Product Development Coordinator (PDC) pilot launched in July 2025 to assist PRIME
designation holders in navigating regulatory interactions, including expedited scientific advice, Marketing Authorisation Application submission readiness activities, and ad-hoc queries throughout the
development program.
About Vonaprument (formerly ANX007)
Vonaprument is a clinical-stage investigational antigen-binding fragment (Fab) designed as a
first-in-kind therapeutic to selectively inhibit C1q, the initiating molecule of the classical complement pathway and a key driver of neurodegeneration. It is formulated
for intravitreal (IVT) administration, with the potential to be the first targeted vision-preserving therapy for GA. Vonaprument involves a differentiated neuroprotective approach designed to protect photoreceptor cells and retinal function by
blocking C1q and the entire classical pathway, while allowing for normal immune activity of the lectin and alternative complement pathways. Vonaprument has been granted Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is
the first therapeutic candidate for the treatment of GA to receive Priority Medicine (PRIME) designation from the EMA for the treatment of GA.
About
the Phase 2 ARCHER Trial
ARCHER is a successfully completed, randomized, multi-center, double-masked, sham-controlled Phase 2 trial that evaluated
vonaprument in a broad population of patients with GA. Across multiple measures, vonaprument consistently preserved visual function and ellipsoid zone retinal structure, reinforcing the therapeutic potential of protecting photoreceptor health early
in disease progression. Vonaprument provided significant, time and dose-dependent protection from vision loss as measured by confirmed best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥15-letter loss, the widely
accepted and clinically meaningful functional endpoint. Significant protection from vision loss was also shown in other prespecified measures of BCVA and visual function, including low luminance visual acuity (LLVA) and low luminance visual deficit
(LLVD). Vonaprument was also shown to protect key retinal structures important for vision, including significant protection of photoreceptors as measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Vonaprument was generally well-tolerated through month
12, with no increase in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) rates between the treated and sham arms and no events of retinal vasculitis reported.
About the Phase 3 ARCHER II Trial
ARCHER II is an ongoing global, pivotal, Phase 3 sham-controlled, double-masked trial of vonaprument in 659 patients with GA, a disease driven by early
photoreceptor degeneration leading to vision loss. Enrollment was completed in July 2025. The primary endpoints of this two-year trial are the proportion of patients with confirmed best corrected visual acuity
15-letter loss at two consecutive visits, measured through months 15 and 24. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥15-letter loss represents three lines on the
standard Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) eye chart. Proportion of patients experiencing BCVA ≥15-letter loss is a well-established functional endpoint that has served as the basis
for numerous ophthalmology drug approvals by the FDA and European Medicines Agency. Secondary endpoints in ARCHER II include safety, LLVA, and photoreceptor integrity (EZ). A global registration path has been established with U.S. and European
regulators for ARCHER II. ARCHER II is a single protocol that will also be analyzed as two sub-studies after meeting the primary endpoint. Topline results from the Month 15 primary analysis are expected in the
fourth quarter of 2026.
