iBio Announces New Preclinical Data From Obese Non-Human Primate Study Evaluating IBIO-610, Activin E Antibody Candidate
iBio, Inc. IBIO | 0.00 |
Single-dose IBIO-610 achieved up to 98% inhibition of active Activin E through eight weeks, supporting a differentiated, long-acting antibody approach
When combined with semaglutide, IBIO-610 drove greater visceral and total fat loss while reducing lean mass loss by 73% versus semaglutide alone
Full dataset to be presented at European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting
SAN DIEGO, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBIO), a clinical-stage biotechnology developing long-acting antibody therapeutics for obesity, cardiometabolic and cardiopulmonary diseases, today announced new preclinical data from its obese non-human primate (NHP) study evaluating IBIO-610, potentially a first-in-class Activin E antibody candidate.
Following a single dose of IBIO-610, active Activin E levels in the blood were reduced in all treated NHPs and remained suppressed through eight weeks. At both weeks 4 and 8, active Activin E levels were reduced to levels below the limits of the assay. Overall, active Activin E was reduced by 98% at week 4 and 97% at week 8 compared with baseline. These findings support IBIO-610's potential for best-in-class pathway inhibition and further support the potential for an infrequently dosed, long-acting antibody approach.
The data also demonstrated IBIO-610's potential to promote fat-selective weight loss while preserving lean mass. In obese NHPs, when combined with semaglutide, IBIO-610 drove greater visceral and total fat loss while reducing lean mass loss by 73% versus semaglutide alone, further supporting its potential as both a stand-alone therapy and a complementary approach to GLP-1-based treatments.
