IMVT vs COGT Comparison

Immunovant Inc is a clinical-stage immunology company dedicated to enabling normal lives for people with autoimmune diseases. Its focus is on developing IMVT-1402, a potential inhibitor of the neonatal fragment crystallizable receptor (FcRn), to address autoimmune diseases driven by high levels of pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. FcRn is involved in preventing the degradation of IgG antibodies, and inhibition of FcRn has been shown to reduce levels of total IgG and pathogenic IgG antibodies. The company operates in a single operating segment, which includes all activities related to the research, development and manufacturing of its product candidates.

Cogent Biosciences Inc a biotechnology company focused on developing precision therapies for genetically defined diseases. It designs rational precision therapies that treat the underlying cause of disease and improve the lives of patients. Its program CGT9486, is a selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed to potently inhibit the KIT D816V mutation as well as other mutations in KIT exon 17. In the vast majority of cases, KIT D816V is responsible for driving Systemic Mastocytosis (SM), a serious disease caused by the unchecked proliferation of mast cells. Exon 17 mutations are also found in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a type of cancer with dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling.
