Omeros Corporation (NASDAQ:OMER) announced today an update on the review by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of the company’s marketing authorization application (MAA) for narsoplimab for the treatment of hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA).

Following an oral explanation meeting with the CHMP held this week, at which Omeros presented its position together with four international experts in hematopoietic cell transplantation, Omeros was informed that the CHMP has adopted a negative opinion on the MAA for narsoplimab in TA-TMA.

Omeros intends to request re-examination of the CHMP opinion and, as part of that procedure, to seek review of the matter by an Ad Hoc Expert Group (AHEG), an independent panel of external scientific and clinical experts to be convened by EMA based on relevant expertise in the indication and related clinical considerations.

Narsoplimab was approved under the brand name YARTEMLEA^® by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2025. Broadly indicated for all TA-TMA patients two years of age and older, it is the first and only treatment to receive regulatory approval for TA-TMA. YARTEMLEA targets MASP-2, the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway of complement and, with a unique safety profile, is the only systemic complement inhibitor on the market without a boxed warning, risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS), or vaccination requirement.

"We are disappointed by the CHMP’s opinion, particularly given the lethal nature of TA-TMA, the absence of an approved treatment for this condition in Europe, and the totality of the clinical trial and real-world data supporting narsoplimab’s efficacy and safety," said Gregory A. Demopulos, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Omeros. "We look forward to meeting with the AHEG and believe strongly that YARTEMLEA warrants approval in Europe, just as it received approval in the U.S. In the meantime, we plan to continue providing YARTEMLEA to TA-TMA patients under our global compassionate use program, prioritizing children. Given drug supply and access constraints, however, compassionate use in Europe can reach only a fraction of the patients who could be treated following EMA approval. While regulatory review progresses, we will work to make YARTEMLEA available to patients who need it and to prevent avoidable deaths from TA-TMA."

The MAA is supported by clinical data from Omeros’ pivotal trial of narsoplimab in TA-TMA, together with analyses comparing survival in narsoplimab-treated patients to survival in an external registry of TA-TMA patients who did not receive narsoplimab, as well as by the company’s compassionate use program. These are the same data on which FDA based its approval of narsoplimab for TA-TMA.

About Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant-Associated Thrombotic Microangiopathy

Hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA) is a severe and often-fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in adults and children. TA-TMA is driven by systemic endothelial injury triggered by conditioning regimens, immunosuppressants, infection, graft-versus-host disease, and other transplant-related factors, with activation of the lectin pathway of complement playing a central role in disease pathogenesis.

TA-TMA can occur following both autologous and allogeneic transplant, with higher prevalence after allogeneic procedures. Approximately 30,000 allogeneic transplants are performed annually in the U.S. and Europe. Recent studies estimate that TA-TMA develops in up to 56 percent of allogeneic transplant recipients. Mortality in severe TA-TMA can exceed 90 percent, and survivors frequently face long-term renal complications, including dialysis dependence.

About YARTEMLEA^® (narsoplimab-wuug)

YARTEMLEA^® (narsoplimab-wuug), a fully human monoclonal antibody, is the first and only approved inhibitor of the lectin pathway of complement. YARTEMLEA inhibits mannan-binding lectin-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), the effector enzyme of the lectin pathway. In hematopoietic stem cell transplant-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (TA-TMA), MASP-2 inhibition prevents lectin pathway-mediated cellular injury, including endothelial damage in small blood vessels, and thrombus formation. By selectively blocking activation of the lectin pathway, YARTEMLEA preserves classical and alternative pathway activity, including functions essential to the adaptive immune response.

YARTEMLEA is approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of TA-TMA in adults and children ages two years and older.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR YARTEMLEA

Contraindications

None.

Warnings and Precautions

Serious and life-threatening infections, regardless of causality or relatedness to YARTEMLEA, were reported in 36% (10/28) of clinical trial patients treated with YARTEMLEA, including sepsis, viral infections, pneumonia, bacteremia, fungal infection, gastroenteritis, respiratory tract infections, and urosepsis. If YARTEMLEA is administered to patients with active infections, monitor closely for signs and symptoms of worsening infection and treat promptly.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%), regardless of causality or relatedness to YARTEMLEA, were viral infections, sepsis, hemorrhage, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, neutropenia, pyrexia, fatigue, and hypokalemia.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy: Available data on the use of YARTEMLEA during pregnancy are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

Lactation: There are no data on the presence of YARTEMLEA in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or the effects on milk production.

To report suspected adverse reactions, contact Omeros Corporation at 1-844-YARTEM1 (1-844-927-8361), or contact FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or through FDA MedWatch.
