Rallybio Announces Promising RLYB212 and RLYB332 Preclinical Data at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting
11 December 2024 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
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 66th American Society of Hematology
(ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place December 7–10,
2024 in San 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,” said Stephen Uden, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of
Rallybio. “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.

or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking
statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements in this
press release include, but are not limited to, statements
concerning our expectations regarding future favorable clinical
results based on RLYB212 and RLYB332 preclinical data, including
our expectations regarding efficacy, safety, dosing, and
administration, whether a monoclonal antibody inhibitor of
matriptase-2 will be an effective treatment of diseases of iron
overload, and the potential success of RLYB212 and RLYB332 for the
diseases that we expect to treat. The forward-looking statements in
this press release are only predictions and are based largely on
management’s current expectations and projections about future
events and financial trends that management believes may affect

clinical trials, including the FNAIT natural history study, and a
Phase 2 clinical trial for RLYB212, and complete such clinical
trials and obtain results on our expected timelines, or at all,
whether our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operating
expenses and capital expenditure requirements and whether we will
