3rd Annual Guggenheim Healthcare Innovation Conference summary
9 Nov, 2026Strategy and development priorities
Pipeline includes two clinical-stage assets: CD19-targeted monoclonal antibody budo and APRIL-degrading CLYM116, focused on B-cell-targeted therapies for autoimmune diseases with unmet need.
Ongoing studies are expected to inform dosing and potential advancement of one or more assets to phase III over the next 12 months.
Budo in PMN
Prior phase Ib study enrolled 8 patients, with follow-up for 5; 60% had a complete renal response at 12 months, and 3 of 4 patients with anecdotal follow-up remained in remission off treatment.
PrisMN’s 200 mg cohort had mean baseline proteinuria of 6 g/24 hours and ~73% lower PLA2R levels at week 12; the early signal aligned with phase Ib data.
Enrollment at 600 mg is complete and 1,000 mg enrollment is ongoing; the 600 mg dose showed B-cell silencing and a dose response, with updates expected in 2027.
Phase III dose selection will use 12-week PLA2R response and dose-response plateau; proteinuria takes about a year to mature and will not delay the phase III decision.
PMN phase III planning uses a single-study precedent with complete renal response as the endpoint; a ~150-patient active-comparator design is a placeholder pending regulatory alignment.
Budo in ITP and SLE
ITP phase Ib targets patients who exhausted available therapies and remain thrombocytopenic; an ASH update is expected in early December 2026 after early data at EHA in June.
The efficacy focus is durable platelet response rather than transient increases; third-line studies typically achieve ~20% durable response, and phase III is a potential path if the target profile is met.
Initial low-dose SLE data showed B-cell depletion with good safety and tolerability, alongside early efficacy signals; dosing is gradually escalated for medically frail patients with prior therapies.
SLE benefit-risk findings are encouraging and may de-risk budo, but phase III is not a near-term priority given development complexity and resource needs; renal and non-renal doses may differ.
