“The rapid suppression of IGF-1 receptor signaling observed with
lonigutamab could potentially improve clinical outcomes for
patients by achieving robust clinical responses with low drug
exposures,” said Shephard (Shep) Mpofu, M.D., Chief Medical Officer
of ACELYRIN. “Importantly, we believe these data are supportive of
the potential for subcutaneously-delivered lonigutamab to provide
deep and durable responses with convenient, self-administered
dosing.”
About LonigutamabLonigutamab is a humanized
IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting the IGF-1 receptor and is
delivered subcutaneously. Relative to standard of care, lonigutamab
binds to a distinct epitope, which results in internalization of
the receptor within minutes, and in preclinical binding and
functional laboratory assays, it has been shown to be 75-fold more
potent. The characteristics of lonigutamab that enable subcutaneous
delivery also enable the potential for longer-term, convenient
dosing, which can potentially improve depth and durability of
clinical response.
About ACELYRIN, INC.ACELYRIN, INC. (Nasdaq:
SLRN) is focused on providing patients life-changing new treatment
options by identifying, acquiring, and accelerating the development
and commercialization of transformative medicines. ACELYRIN’s lead
program, lonigutamab, is a subcutaneously delivered monoclonal
antibody targeting IGF-1R being investigated for the treatment of
thyroid eye disease.
