SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2, 2023 — AnaptysBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANAB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on delivering innovative immunology therapeutics, today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provided a business update.
“We’ve made strong progress this quarter executing against our multi-year plan to develop best-in-class immune cell modulators to drive differentiated clinical outcomes in heterogeneous, systemic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases,” said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer of Anaptys. “Enrollment is ongoing in our global Phase 2b trials in atopic dermatitis for ANB032, our BTLA agonist, and rheumatoid arthritis for rosnilimab, our PD-1 agonist, while also initiating a global Phase 2 trial in ulcerative colitis for rosnilimab in Q4 2023.”
Updates on Wholly Owned Immune Cell Modulator Pipeline
Rosnilimab (PD-1 agonist antibody)
•Initiated in August a global Phase 2b trial in moderate-to-severe RA
◦420-patient placebo-controlled trial assessing three dose levels of subcutaneously administered rosnilimab (randomized 1:1:1:1) for a 12-week treatment duration on well-established endpoints, including DAS28-CRP, CDAI and ACR20/50/70
▪At Week 14, rosnilimab-treated patients who achieve low disease activity, defined as CDAI<=10, are eligible to be dosed for an additional 16-week all-active treatment period and then followed for a three-month off-drug follow-up period
◦Top-line Week 12 data anticipated by mid 2025
•Anticipate initiation in Q4 2023 of a global Phase 2 trial in moderate-to-severe UC
◦130-patient placebo-controlled trial assessing two dose levels of subcutaneously administered rosnilimab (randomized 1:1:1) for a 12-week treatment duration on well-established endpoints, including clinical response on modified Mayo score (mMS), clinical remission on mMS and endoscopic remission
▪Rosnilimab and placebo-treated patients who achieved clinical response on mMS are eligible to continue on their assigned treatment for an additional 12 weeks, while patients on placebo who are non-responders will be crossed over to the high-dose rosnilimab treatment arm, in an all-active treatment period and then followed for a three-month off-drug follow-up period
