Sobi's Presentation at Histiocyte Society 2026
Sobi® (STO: SOBI), the biopharmaceutical company renowned for its innovative solutions in rare diseases, has announced that it will present new clinical data on
Gamifant® (emapalumab) during the
2026 Annual Meeting of the Histiocyte Society in
Rotterdam, Netherlands, scheduled from
September 26 to 29.
The clinical data includes a
pooled analysis focused on survival outcomes before and after transplant, which aggregates results from three prospective trials. Additionally, the program features two encore presentations related to the treatment of primary
haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and insights from a post-authorization study conducted among experienced Chinese patients.
"Our commitment to enhancing understanding of treatment and transplant outcomes in primary HLH continues to grow. The new pooled analysis being nominated for the
Robert J. Arceci Prize for Best Poster is a testament to our scientific contribution, highlighting the importance of our research in addressing the needs of patients suffering from this rare and life-threatening condition," stated
Lydia Abad-Franch, MD, Head of R&D and Medical Affairs at Sobi.
Poster Presentations
During the meeting, Sobi will present several crucial abstracts:
- - Pre- and Post-Transplant Survival with Emapalumab in Primary HLH: This pooled analysis explores outcomes across the prospective trials NI-0501-04, NI-0501-05, and NI-0501-09, providing critical insights on the efficacy of Gamifant before and after transplants.
- - Emapalumab Induces Rapid, Durable Responses: This presentation will focus on how emapalumab facilitates bridging to curative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients diagnosed with primary HLH.
- - Sustained Benefits in Primary HLH Subgroups: An examination of emapalumab's impact will be shared, highlighting its effectiveness regardless of patients’ previous treatments and neurological involvement.
- - Safety and Efficacy in Treatment-Experienced Patients: Data from the open-label, single-arm post-authorization study Sobi.EMAPALUMAB-104 will be presented, showcasing treatment outcomes, safety, and transplant impacts on Chinese patients.
Understanding Gamifant®
Gamifant (emapalumab) is the world’s first and only approved monoclonal antibody targeting
interferon gamma (IFNy). It functions by binding to IFNy and rendering it inactive—crucial in conditions where it's overproduced, leading to hyperinflammation within the body. In the U.S., it is approved for treating both adult and pediatric patients suffering from refractory disease or intolerant to standard HLH therapies and is also a treatment option for patients with
haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) associated with known or suspected
Still's disease who have not responded adequately to glucocorticoids.
Sobi is on a mission to transform the treatment landscape for individuals with rare diseases. With a dedicated employee base of around
2,000 across
Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia, and
Australia, the company reported a revenue of
SEK 28 billion in 2025. Its shares are publicly listed on
Nasdaq Stockholm, enabling broader access to capital for ongoing research and innovative solutions.
As Sobi prepares to present at this significant gathering, the medical community is keenly anticipating their findings, which promise to advance the understanding and management of primary HLH.
