adimanebart (ARGX-119) Development
adimanebart is a humanized agonist monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and activates MuSK to promote maturation and stabilization of the NMJ, with planned development across severe neuromuscular diseases including CMS, ALS, and SMA. It is the first highly specific agonist mAb targeting human MuSK and was developed using the SIMPLE ANTIBODY™ platform in collaboration with leading experts, with preclinical proof‑of‑concept demonstrated in a DOK7‑CMS model.
A Phase 3 clinical trial in CMS is expected to initiate in the third quarter of 2026, following positive results from the Phase 1b clinical trial.
A proof-of-concept clinical trial is also ongoing in SMA.
