Wells Fargo 21st Annual Healthcare Conference summary
9 Sep, 2026Program overviews and strategic focus
Developing two co-lead antibody programs targeting immune-mediated diseases: budoprutug (anti-CD19) and CLYM116 (APRIL-only sweeper antibody).
Budoprutug is in phase II for pMN, phase I-B for ITP and SLE, showing broad potential across B cell-mediated diseases.
CLYM116 is advancing in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) with a best-in-class 12-week dosing profile and clean safety data.
Multiple data readouts are expected in 2024 and 2025, with pivotal trials planned for both assets.
Exploring expansion of APRIL asset into additional autoimmune indications.
CLYM116 (APRIL-only antibody) in IgAN
Sweeper mechanism enables pH-dependent APRIL binding, degradation, and antibody recycling, avoiding TMDD seen in competitors.
Achieves >90% APRIL suppression for 10 weeks and ~75% at week 12 with 320 mg/mL; 400 mg/mL maintenance dose planned.
Demonstrates deep IgA and Gd-IgA1 reduction, correlating with proteinuria reduction and eGFR stabilization.
No significant immunogenicity or tolerability issues observed at higher doses; clean safety profile without hypogammaglobulinemia.
Phase II ongoing, with phase III pivotal trial targeted for next year; commercial opportunity estimated at $20B+ in the US.
Budoprutug (anti-CD19 antibody) in pMN, ITP, and SLE
Targets B cell lineage including plasmablasts, offering deeper depletion than anti-CD20 therapies.
Phase I-B in pMN showed 60% complete renal response vs. 36% for obinutuzumab; durable responses seen after two doses.
ITP cohort at 250 mg showed >50% durable platelet response, exceeding current therapies; higher dose data expected by year end.
SLE program is exploratory, with initial data at low doses in 2024 and therapeutic dose data in 2025; partnership considered for broader SLE development.
Subcutaneous formulation matches IV in B cell depletion, offering future flexibility in administration.
