Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 4, 2024, Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing pre-clinical data for CRB-913 that is being presented at Obesity Week 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company also updated its presentation used by management to describe its business. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by a specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company is presenting new pre-clinical data for CRB-913 at Obesity Week 2024. CRB-913 is a second-generation highly peripherally restricted CB1 receptor inverse agonist designed to treat obesity. The Company is currently conducting IND-enabling studies and expects to treat the first patient in a Phase 1 study in the first quarter of 2025.

Key findings:

CRB-913 brain levels (both Cmax and AUC) were 15-fold lower than monlunabant at the same dose in mice.
Plasma-to-brain ratio for CRB-913 was 10 times higher than monlunabant and 50 times higher than rimonabant at the same dose.
CRB-913 demonstrated a wide dose response weight loss curve in diet-induced obesity (“DIO”) mice ranging from 5 mg/kg/day to 80 mg/kg/day with no plateauing effect and reaching a weight loss of 31% by day 19. Extending the dosing at 80 mg/kg/day to 28 days resulted in an additional weight loss reaching 38%.
Allometrically, this dose range corresponds to human-equivalent doses of 30 mg/day to 450 mg/day.
A first-of-its-kind experimental protocol in DIO mice demonstrated that weight loss induced by an incretin analog (semaglutide) can be maintained post withdrawal by replacing it with a CB1 inverse agonist (CRB-913) whereas replacement of semaglutide with vehicle led to a rapid and complete regain of weight.
DEXA-scanning data revealed that switching from semaglutide to CRB-913 in DIO mice led to additional weight loss that was driven by a doubling in fat percentage reduction compared to the corresponding semaglutide maintenance cohort. This indicates a peripheral effect on fat metabolism not present with semaglutide.

Exhibit 99.1

Corbus Pharmaceuticals Presents New CRB-913 Pre-Clinical Data At Obesity Week 2024

CRB-913 brain levels are 15-fold lower than monlunabant in lean mice
Dose-response demonstrated for a range of 5 to 80 mg/kg/day achieving up to 38% weight loss in DIO mice
Semaglutide treatment followed by its replacement with CRB-913 demonstrated continued weight loss in DIO mice
Switching from semaglutide to CRB-913 led to a doubling of fat loss in DIO mice

 

Norwood, MA, November 4, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company”), an oncology and obesity company with a diversified portfolio, presents new pre-clinical data at Obesity Week 2024 further characterizing CRB-913, its highly peripherally restricted CB1 inverse agonist. The data are being presented as a Poster Presentation titled: “Induction and Maintenance Regimens with CB1 Inverse Agonist CRB-913 and Semaglutide in DIO Mice”.

 

Key findings:

CRB-913 brain levels (both Cmax and AUC) were 15-fold lower than monlunabant at the same dose in mice.
Plasma-to-brain ratio for CRB-913 was 10 times higher than monlunabant and 50 times higher than rimonabant at the same dose.
CRB-913 demonstrated a wide dose response weight loss curve in DIO mice ranging from 5 mg/kg/day to 80 mg/kg/day with no plateauing effect and reaching a weight loss of 31% by day 19. Extending the dosing at 80 mg/kg/day to 28 days resulted in an additional weight loss reaching 38%.
Allometrically, this dose range corresponds to human-equivalent doses of 30 mg/day to 450 mg/day.
A first-of-its-kind experimental protocol in DIO mice demonstrated that weight loss induced by an incretin analog (semaglutide) can be maintained post withdrawal by replacing it with a CB1 inverse agonist (CRB-913) whereas replacement of semaglutide with vehicle led to a rapid and complete regain of weight.
DEXA-scanning data revealed that switching from semaglutide to CRB-913 in DIO mice led to additional weight loss that was driven by a doubling in fat percentage reduction compared to the corresponding semaglutide maintenance cohort. This indicates a peripheral effect on fat metabolism not present with semaglutide.

 

This work adds noteworthy new data to the pre-clinical characterization of CRB-913 and provides important context in comparison to monlunabant” said Yuval Cohen, PhD, CEO of Corbus. “It provides further evidence in support of CRB-913 as a markedly more peripherally restricted CB1 inverse agonist than monlunabant and suggests potential clinical use both as a monotherapy as well as a maintenance therapy post incretin analog induction treatment. This is in addition to our previously published work Morningstar et al, Obesity Aug 2023 showing that CRB-913 provides additive weight loss when combined with incretin analogs in DIO mice. The totality of this body of work provides insight into potentially three separate clinical usages: monotherapy, combination therapy and an induction/maintenance therapy.”

 

CRB-913 is on schedule to begin a Phase 1 clinical study in Q1 of 2025.
