Immunic Appoints New CMO to Support Key Clinical Trials
"We are fast approaching a highly pivotal juncture, with the anticipated top-line data readout of the twin phase 3 ENSURE trials of our lead asset, orally available nuclear receptor-related 1 activator, vidofludimus calcium, in relapsing multiple sclerosis, expected by the end of 2026," stated Daniel Vitt, CEO of Immunic. "In anticipation, we strengthened our leadership team with the recent appointment of Dr. Michael A. Panzara as Chief Medical Officer. Mike brings deep expertise in neurology and a proven track record of advancing multiple sclerosis therapies through late-stage clinical development and global regulatory approvals. Additionally, we enhanced our Board of Directors with the appointment of Jon Congleton, who has nearly four decades of biopharmaceutical leadership experience. Earlier in the quarter, Simona Skerjanec, M.Pharm, M.B.A., who joined Immunic's Board of Directors in July 2024, has been elevated to interim Chairperson of the Board and Thor Nagel, Principal at BVF Partners L.P., has been appointed as a member of the Board. Together, these key appointments are intended to best position the company for successful execution of our late-stage development priorities and prepare for potential commercialization."
