Approval of Atebrioz
On September 25, 2026, Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) and Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”) announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved Atebrioz™ (zilurgisertib) tablets to reduce the volume of total new heterotopic ossification (“HO”) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (“FOP”). The recommended dose of Atebrioz is 100 mg administered orally, once daily.
Atebrioz was developed by Incyte and licensed to the Company for worldwide development and commercialization.
Atebrioz is a once-daily oral activin receptor-like kinase 2 (“ALK2”) inhibitor designed to target the disease-driving pathway at the center of FOP biology. In people living with FOP, pathogenic variants in the ACVR1 gene result in the abnormal activation of ALK2, leading to the formation of bone in muscles, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues through a process known as HO. As HO lesions develop and accumulate over time, they can progressively restrict movement and lead to significant disability.
Atebrioz was approved based on data from Cohort 1 of the PROGRESS study evaluating zilurgisertib in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with FOP. Efficacy was established based on total new HO lesion volume. Total new HO lesion volume includes expansion of baseline HO lesion burden as well as any new discrete HO that developed during the 24-week double-blind period. At Week 24, mean total new HO lesion volume decreased by 3.2 cm3 in patients receiving zilurgisertib compared with an increase of 24.6 cm3 in placebo-treated patients. Treatment effects were maintained through Week 48 of the open-label extension.
Zilurgisertib was generally well tolerated during the 24-week placebo-controlled period of the study. The most common adverse reactions were headache, arthralgia, upper respiratory tract infection, epistaxis and nausea. Most adverse events were mild or moderate in severity, and no adverse events led to treatment discontinuation or dose reduction.
Atebrioz will be available through Mirum Access Plus (“MAP”), a patient support program designed to help patients, families and healthcare providers navigate treatment access. MAP provides insurance coverage and access support, financial assistance for eligible patients, personalized patient support and educational resources for patients and caregivers. Atebrioz is expected to be commercially available in the U.S. in October, with eligible patients paying as little as $0 per month through MAP.
In the European Union, a marketing authorization application for zilurgisertib is currently under review by the European Medicines Agency, supported by data from Cohort 1 (patients aged 12 years and older) of the PROGRESS study.
The PROGRESS development program also continues to advance, with enrollment completed in Cohort 2 of children aged 6 to <12 years, and enrollment underway in Cohort 3 of children aged 2 to <12 years.
Announcement of Data from the Phase 3 AZURE-1 Study of Brelovitug in Chronic Hepatitis Delta
On September 28, 2026, the Company announced the primary endpoint was met in the Phase 3 portion of the AZURE-1 study evaluating brelovitug, an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), for the treatment of chronic hepatitis delta virus (“HDV”). In addition, 48-week data from the Phase 2b portion of AZURE-1 demonstrated deepening viral suppression, with a greater proportion of patients achieving HDV RNA below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ, <10 IU/ml) and target not detected (“TND”), and increased rates of alanine aminotransferase (“ALT”) normalization. AZURE-1 is one of two pivotal Phase 3 studies intended to form the basis of the Company’s U.S. registration package for brelovitug.
Phase 3 AZURE-1 Results: Brelovitug Met the Primary Endpoint at Week 24
The Phase 3 portion of the AZURE-1 study enrolled 153 treatment-naive patients randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to receive brelovitug 300 mg self-administered once weekly (“QW”) by subcutaneous (“SC”) injection , brelovitug 900 mg administered once every four weeks (“Q4W”) by SC injection or delayed treatment starting at Week 24. This global study enrolled a broad patient population including patients with advanced disease.
At Week 24, treatment with brelovitug met the primary endpoint, with 56% of patients in the 300 mg QW arm and 45% in the 900 mg Q4W arm achieving the combined endpoint of virologic response (≥2 log10 reduction in HDV RNA from baseline or undetectable HDV RNA [<LLOQ, TND]) and ALT normalization, compared to 0% in the delayed treatment arm (p<0.0001 for both comparisons). The efficacy results by treatment arm at Week 24 are presented below in Phase 3 Key Efficacy Endpoints.
Treatment with brelovitug was well tolerated across dose groups, with a safety profile consistent with previously reported AZURE-1 data. The safety profile summary is presented below in Phase 3 Summary of Safety Through Week 24.

48-Week Data from the Phase 2b Portion of AZURE-1: Deepening Viral Suppression and Increased Rates of ALT Normalization
The Phase 2b portion of AZURE-1 included the first 53 patients enrolled in the study. Following the previously reported Week 24 primary analysis, patients continued treatment in the open-label extension. Between Week 24 and Week 48, viral suppression deepened and rates of ALT normalization increased. The Week 48 results are presented below in Phase 2b Key Efficacy Endpoints (Weeks 24 and 48).

c One participant had Week 12 virologic response but was subsequently lost to follow-up. This participant was considered a non-responder at Week 24 and Week 48.
d One participant had a late Week 24 result (post-Week 24 analysis cutoff) that was TND.
P-values compare each treatment group against delayed treatment using a stratum-adjusted Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test.
Safety in the Phase 2b portion through Week 48 was consistent with previously reported results, with no new safety signals observed.
The full results from the Phase 3 AZURE-1 study will be presented at an upcoming medical congress. Topline results from the Phase 3 AZURE-4 study, the second of the two pivotal studies supporting the U.S. registration package, are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. The Company expects to submit a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the FDA in the first half of 2027, with potential commercial launch in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2027. Topline results from the Phase 3 AZURE-2 and AZURE-3 studies are expected in the second half of 2027.
We now estimate total annual revenue potential of brelovitug in HDV to be more than $1 billion, and we estimate the total annual revenue potential for Atebrioz tablets to reduce the volume of total new HO in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with FOP to be greater than $200 million.
