Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 1, 2026, Jade Biosciences, Inc. (“Jade” or the “Company”) will host a conference call and webcast to share interim results from its Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial evaluating JADE101, a novel, investigational anti-A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand (“APRIL”) monoclonal antibody in development for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (“IgAN”). The event will begin at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time and will be available via a live webcast accessible on the “Events and Presentations” page of Jade’s corporate website at www.jadebiosciences.com. During the event, the Company will present the corporate slide presentation attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 7.01, including in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and on Jade’s corporate website, is being “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is not subject to the liabilities of that section and is not deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On June 1, 2026, the Company announced interim results from its Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial evaluating JADE101in development for the treatment of IgAN. JADE101 is designed with ultra-high binding affinity to selectively block APRIL, a key driver of pathogenic IgA production in IgAN, a chronic autoimmune disease that frequently affects young adults and can lead to end-stage kidney disease over a patient’s lifetime.

JADE101 Phase 1 Trial Design

The JADE101 Phase 1 trial is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and tolerability, pharmacodynamics (“PD”) and pharmacokinetics (“PK”) of single ascending subcutaneously administered doses of JADE101 in healthy volunteers.

As of the data cutoff of April 14, 2026, the trial has enrolled 32 healthy adult volunteers across four dose cohorts, with eight participants per cohort randomized in a 6:2 ratio to receive JADE101 or placebo. Evaluated doses included single subcutaneous administrations of 175 mg, 350 mg, 700 mg, and 1,400 mg.

Key findings at this interim analysis included:

Depth and Duration of IgA Reductions Driven by Potent Free APRIL (“fAPRIL”) Suppression

 

   

Mean IgA reductions reached approximately 70% from baseline and were sustained at 12 weeks at the 700 mg dose; this dose is anticipated to reflect the steady-state IgA responses in IgAN patients with the planned JADE101 dosing strategy

 

   

IgA-lowering effect observed to be deeper, faster, and more durable following a single dose of JADE101 than with first-generation anti-APRIL or dual APRIL/BAFF inhibitors

 

   

Greater than 70% IgA reductions simulated at steady-state with a single subcutaneous injection of 350 mg of JADE101 every 12 weeks (“Q12W”) following one 700 mg induction dose, which could support best-in-class clinical activity with a convenient dosing regimen of only four injections per year

 

   

Figure 1 below shows change from baseline in IgA by dose

 

   

IgA-lowering potency estimated to be approximately 379-fold higher than sibeprenlimab and approximately 26-fold higher than povetacicept

 

   

JADE101 achieved rapid, complete and durable suppression of fAPRIL, consistent with the femtomolar APRIL binding affinity of JADE101

Favorable Safety Profile; Well-Tolerated Across All Evaluated Subcutaneous Dose Levels

 

   

Single subcutaneous doses of JADE101 up to 1,400 mg were well tolerated with an observed safety profile generally consistent with the anti-APRIL class

 

   

The most common treatment-emergent adverse events in the pooled safety analysis occurring in more than two participants were headache (25%), upper respiratory tract infection (21.9%), injection site erythema (9.4%), oropharyngeal pain (9.4%) and pyrexia (9.4%)

 

   

There were no serious adverse events and no adverse events leading to study discontinuation

 

   

There were no cases of hypogammaglobulinemia, defined as IgG less than or equal to 3 g/L

Differentiated Pharmacokinetic Profile Supports Potential for Convenient Dosing

 

   

JADE101 demonstrated dose-dependent increases in exposure across evaluated dose levels

 

   

Half-life at steady state for JADE101 was approximately 8.7-fold longer than reported for povetacicept and approximately 2.6-fold longer than reported for sibeprenlimab

 

   

Target-mediated drug disposition threshold with JADE101 is estimated to be approximately 2.5-fold lower than reported for sibeprenlimab

 

   

No apparent impact of anti-drug antibodies on PK or PD was observed

 


Baseline Characteristics

The baseline characteristics of participants from the Phase 1 clinical trial, as of the data cutoff date of April 14, 2026, are summarized below.

Phase 2 IgAN Trial Underway with Phase 3 Registrational Trial Planned for First Half of 2027

JUNIPER is an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating JADE101 in participants with IgAN. The open-label trial is expected to enroll approximately 30 participants. Participants are expected to receive a 700 mg induction dose of JADE101 at treatment onset followed by maintenance doses of 350 mg starting at Week 4 and subsequently either every 8 weeks (n=15) or every 12 weeks (n=15). Evaluating both dose intervals is intended to support accelerated Phase 3 initiation and satisfy global regulatory expectations for dose finding. The primary objectives of the trial are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of JADE101. Secondary and exploratory objectives include changes in 24-hour urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (“UPCR-24”), including the proportion of participants achieving UPCR-24 levels below 0.5 g/day and 0.3 g/day, renal function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate, and hematuria resolution over time. Interim clinical data are anticipated in 2027.

Jade plans to initiate a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial in the first half of 2027, pending Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) requirements.

Pharmacokinetics fAPRIL JADE101 CONC. (μg/mL) IgA reductions for 12 weeks enabled by dose-dependent PK and rapid, complete, and sustained fAPRIL suppression Date cutoff: April 14, 2026; Source: Internal data. Half-life dependent on dose and dose interval; JADE101 half-life measured at 700 mg induction dose. Sibeprenlimab TMDD threshold based on visual estimate of third-party data. Duration of fAPRIL response (>90%) estimated via noncompartmental analysis of individual JADE101 participant profiles. No head-to-head study has been conducted comparing JADE101 to other candidates or approved agents. Differences exist between study designs, patient characteristics and other factors, and caution should be exercised in drawing any conclusions from a comparison of the data across studies as cross-study comparisons are inherently limited and such data may not be directly comparable. Phase 1 fAPRIL CFB (%) Time (week) ~8.7 fold longer half-life than povetacicept; ~2.6 fold longer than sibeprenlimab JADE101 half-life: 24.2 days JADE101 TMDD threshold estimated ~2.5-fold lower than sibeprenlimab PK profiles of first-gen anti-APRIL mAbs strongly influenced by TMDD Deep serum fAPRIL suppression as rapidly as 2 hours post SC dose administration >90% APRIL suppression sustained for a median of 85 days at 700 mg Time (week)
