In a groundbreaking development, iBio has established a licensing agreement with AstralBio Inc. for an innovative preclinical antibody aimed at targeting Activin E. Using its proprietary Machine-Learning Antibody Engine, iBio has engineered what is anticipated to be the first effective inhibitor of Activin E, a pivotal player in obesity and connected cardiometabolic diseases. Activin E is integral in regulating energy balance and fat distribution, with its inhibition expected to promote fat-selective weight loss while preserving muscle mass, thus addressing a critical health challenge.

Preclinical investigations have shown strong evidence of the antibody’s binding efficiency and its capability to inhibit Activin E signaling in trials conducted with an obese rodent model. Martin Brenner, Ph.D., DVM, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of iBio, emphasized that the licensing of this pioneering antibody reinforces the company’s commitment to Activin E as a therapeutic target and broadens its pipeline focused on cardiometabolic diseases.

Additionally, iBio has amended its collaboration with AstralBio to include a fifth target related to cardiometabolic treatments and has credited $750,000 for the exclusive licensing of the Activin E-targeting antibody. As iBio prepares to present further preclinical data at the upcoming International BMP Conference, it underscores its dedication to advancing precision medicine approaches in the biopharmaceutical sector. This strategic partnership highlights iBio’s focus on leveraging cutting-edge computational biology to develop next-generation therapies that can effectively address significant healthcare needs.
