iBio and AstralBio Unveil Obesity Program with Novel Amylin Agonist Antibody Demonstrating Promising In Vivo Results
Lead amylin receptor agonist engineered antibody significantly reduced acute food intake in a mouse model of obesity, comparable to the efficacy of a leading amylin peptide agonist Findings support the potential of antibody-based agonists to address the growing demand for safer, longer-acting treatments for obesity and cardiometabolic diseases Conference call today, June 24 at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss new pre-clinical data and obesity pipeline SAN DIEGO, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, In

(Nasdaq: IBIO), an AI-driven innovator of next-generation antibody therapies, today announced preclinical data in which an engineered amylin receptor agonist antibody reduced acute food intake in a mouse model of obesity by 60% (p<0.05), equivalent to the reduction in food intake from a clinically advanced dual amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist (DACRA) peptide (67%). The effect on food intake was monitored over various time points in this side-by-side study with the amylin agonist iBio discovered and a DACRA peptide.
