Transaction Expands Climb Bio's Pipeline of B-cell Targeted Therapeutics to Address Immune-mediated Diseases
New Program is a Highly Potent, Fc-engineered anti-APRIL Monoclonal Antibody Specifically Designed to Address Patient Needs
Preclinical Data Expected to be Shared Later in 2025
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass., Jan. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Climb Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLYM) today announced it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Beijing Mabworks Biotech Co., Ltd. (NEEQ Code: 874070, Mabworks) for rights to develop and commercialize MIL116 (now CLYM116), an anti-APRIL (A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand) monoclonal antibody, in the territory outside of Greater China. Climb Bio believes CLYM116 is a potential best-in-class approach to address significant unmet need in patients with IgA nephropathy and other B-cell mediated diseases. This transaction furthers Climb Bio's goal of becoming a leader in developing new treatment options for immune-mediated diseases, complementing the Company's anti-CD19 antibody, budoprutug.
"Adding CLYM116 to our pipeline represents a pivotal moment for Climb Bio as we advance our ambition of becoming a leader in developing best-in-class treatments for patients with immune-mediated diseases," said Aoife Brennan, President and CEO of Climb Bio. "IgA nephropathy is the most common cause of glomerulonephritis worldwide, and we believe that inhibition of APRIL is both a clinically validated mechanism and potentially disease modifying approach for this indication. We look forward to rapidly advancing CLYM116 and sharing initial preclinical data later in 2025."
