BASEL, Switzerland and LONDON and NEW YORK and BOSTON, Feb. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roivant Sciences Ltd. (NASDAQ:ROIV), a next-generation biopharmaceutical company dedicated to improving the delivery of healthcare to patients, today reported its financial results for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021 and provided an update on the Company's operations.
Roivant's Chief Executive Officer, Matt Gline, noted: "We are looking forward to the upcoming launch of tapinarof this year and to the impact we believe it can have for psoriasis patients. We are also pleased with the continued enrollment in Dermavant's registrational studies in atopic dermatitis. We remain on track this year to initiate multiple Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials, including at Immunovant and Kinevant, and to expand the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial in MDS patients at newly launched Hemavant. RVT-2001, the lead product candidate at Hemavant, is a great example of our plans for pipeline expansion, which will come from both in-licensing and from our internal computational discovery efforts."
