PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cabaletta Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: CABA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and launching the first curative targeted cell therapies for patients with autoimmune diseases, today announced that the Company’s fourth Investigational New Drug (IND) application for CABA-201, a 4-1BB-containing fully human CD19-CAR T cell investigational therapy, has been allowed to proceed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Phase 1/2 study in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CABA-201 across two parallel gMG cohorts based on autoantibody status – one cohort of six patients with acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive gMG and a second cohort of six patients with AChR antibody-negative gMG. Consistent with the previously announced CABA-201 IND application clearances for lupus, myositis and systemic sclerosis, the starting dose for the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating CABA-201 in gMG will be 1 x 106 cells/kg.

Key Points: 
  • Consistent with the previously announced CABA-201 IND application clearances for lupus, myositis and systemic sclerosis, the starting dose for the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating CABA-201 in gMG will be 1 x 106 cells/kg.
  • The announcement of our fourth CABA-201 IND clearance is also our first IND clearance for the product candidate in a predominantly autoantibody mediated disease.
  • Generalized MG affects approximately 85% of the between 50,000 and 80,000 estimated MG patients in the United States.
  • Standard of care therapies include cholinesterase inhibitors, steroids, immunomodulators, and biologics, which often provide modest clinical effect and require chronic administration, increasing the risk of serious long-term side effects.

The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CABA-201 across two parallel SSc cohorts – one cohort of six patients with severe skin manifestations and a separate cohort of six patients with severe organ involvement associated with systemic sclerosis. Consistent with the previously announced CABA-201 IND clearances for lupus and myositis, the starting dose for the trial, 1 x 106 cells/kg, was informed by the high degree of similarity between CABA-201 and the CD19-CAR T construct administered to a patient with severe, diffuse SSc in the recent Annals of Rheumatic Diseases publication.

Key Points: 
  • The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial of CABA-201 across two parallel SSc cohorts – one cohort of six patients with severe skin manifestations and a separate cohort of six patients with severe organ involvement associated with systemic sclerosis.
  • SSc affects approximately 88,000 patients in the U.S., and typically affects middle-aged individuals, particularly women.
  • Standard treatment options, which have modest effects, include generalized immunosuppressive agents or drugs targeted to specific symptomatic manifestations.
  • Due to the lack of adequate treatments, the risk of mortality in systemic sclerosis remains high, with an average survival of approximately 12 years following diagnosis.
