SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2025 – Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (HALO), a company known for its innovative drug delivery technology, announced today that argenx has received European Commission (EC) approval for VYVGART® 1000mg (efgartigimod alfa). Developed with ENHANZE®, Halozyme’s proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme (rHuPH20), the subcutaneous (SC) injection is approved as a monotherapy for adult patients battling chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) who have previously undergone treatment with corticosteroids or immunoglobulins.

It highlights not only the advancement of medical science but also the potential for novel treatment approaches.

“We are thrilled with the European Commission’s approval of the subcutaneous injection of VYVGART, which utilizes our ENHANZE drug delivery technology for CIDP patients,” stated Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer of Halozyme. “This milestone in our partnership with argenx significantly expands access to the drug across Europe, further supporting our impressive growth trajectory.”

The EC’s decision is based on the positive data from the ADHERE clinical trial, currently the largest study conducted on CIDP patients. For an in-depth analysis of the study results, readers can refer to argenx’s press release released on June 20, 2025.
