** Shares in Hansa Biopharma HNSA.ST fell 27% after pivotal phase 3 trial in anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) did not meet primary endpoint
** ** The study in anti-GBM disease, a rare autoimmune condition, did not meet its primary goal as the control arm showed a surprisingly strong response
** Kempen Research sees the failure as a lost "building block for imlifidase beyond kidney transplant" but notes it was a small part of its valuation
** Focus now shifts to Hansa's plan to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) for its main kidney transplant use to US regulators by the end of 2025
** This submission is key as it could pave the way for entry into the sizable US market as early as the second half of 2026, the brokerage adds
** Up to the previous session's close, shares were down 14.8% YTD
