Roivant and Priovant report positive Phase 3 results for brepocitinib in uveitis
Both CLARITY-1 and CLARITY-2 trials hit their primary and key secondary endpoints, with an sNDA filing planned for the first half of 2027.
Roivant Sciences and Priovant Therapeutics announced on October 21, 2026 that brepocitinib met its goals in both Phase 3 trials of the CLARITY program for non-infectious uveitis (NIU). Brepocitinib met the primary endpoint for both the CLARITY-1 and CLARITY-2 studies, and also achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful benefit on all key secondary endpoints, including measurements of sustained steroid-free quiescence at Week 48, chorioretinal vascular leakage, resolution of macular edema and patient-reported visual functioning.1
The companies said the CLARITY program enrolled 371 patients across two identical studies, CLARITY-1 and CLARITY-2.1 Patients were assigned in equal numbers to either daily brepocitinib at 45 mg or placebo across a 48-week period in which treatment assignment was masked.1 All participants also received an eight-week course of oral corticosteroids, starting at 60 mg per day for two weeks, then stepping down over six additional weeks until reaching zero.1 The primary endpoint was time to treatment failure, assessed from Week 6 through Week 48.1
On efficacy, the hazard ratio for treatment failure versus placebo was 0.27 in CLARITY-1 and 0.22 in CLARITY-2 (both p<0.0001), with steroid-free quiescence in both eyes reached by 58.8% of brepocitinib patients versus 19.8% on placebo in CLARITY-1, and 64.4% versus 19.4% in CLARITY-2.1
On safety, brepocitinib was generally well tolerated, with most adverse events mild or moderate and only 3% of participants discontinuing treatment due to an adverse event, with no new safety signals observed compared to prior studies.1
Priovant intends to file a supplemental New Drug Application for brepocitinib in NIU during the first half of calendar year 2027.1 Priovant Therapeutics is described in the filing as a Roivant company.1
