NEW HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 2024--Rallybio Corporation(Nasdaq: RLYB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company translating scientific advances into transformative therapies for patients with devastating rare diseases, today announced the presentation of two posters highlighting promising preclinical data for pipeline candidates RLYB212 and RLYB332 at the 66thAmerican Society of Hematology(ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 7–10, 2024 inSan Diego, California.

“With our Phase 2 trial underway evaluating RLYB212 in pregnant women at higher risk of maternal alloimmunization and FNAIT, we are pleased that our collaborators at Versiti continue to add to the preclinical data showing RLYB212 has the potential to be a safe and effective preventative therapeutic using innovative nonclinical models,” saidStephen Uden, M.D., Chief Executive Officer ofRallybio. “Additionally, we are delighted to share, for the first time, preclinical data demonstrating the potential for RLYB332, our long-acting anti-matriptase-2 antibody, to be a best-in-class therapeutic for patients with diseases of iron overload.”

In a poster titled“Prophylactic Administration of HPA-1a–Specific Antibody RLYB212 Safely Prevents Fetal/Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia Due to HPA-1a Incompatibility in Pregnant Mice,”preclinical data was presented demonstrating that prophylactic administration of RLYB212 to pregnant mice at doses of 1.01 or 5.05 μg/kg prevented maternal alloimmunization. Further, pups born to RLYB212-treated, but not untreated, pregnant mice had normal platelet counts, demonstrating the ability of RLYB212 to prevent fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). Data also showed that administration of RLYB212 did not cause thrombocytopenia in pups, supporting its safety as a prophylactic treatment.

In a poster titled“Long-Acting Anti-Matriptase-2 Antibody as a Potentially Best-in-Class Therapy for Iron Overload Diseases,”preclinical data was presented demonstrating that single intravenous injections of RLYB332 to humanized FcRn mice had rapid and sustained effects on pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters, including serum iron, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), and transferrin saturation (TSAT), and these effects were greater than those produced by comparator molecules. Additionally, treatment with RLYB332 was generally well-tolerated. These findings support RLYB332 as a potentially best-in-class therapeutic for the treatment of diseases of iron overload.
