SIOUX FALLS, S.D., June 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAB Biotherapeutics (Nasdaq: SABS), (SAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a novel immunotherapy platform that produces specifically targeted, high-potency, fully-human multi-target immunoglobulin (hIgG) antibodies (fully-human polyclonal antibodies) without the need for human donors, today announced the presentation of positive safety and pharmacologic data from a GLP toxicology study for SAB-142, a first in class fully human immunotherapeutic being developed for delaying onset and progression of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), at the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) in Boston. Results from the IND-enabling GLP tox study confirmed that SAB-142 affects the same subsets of immune cells associated with T1D as commercially available rabbit-derived anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) in vivo.

Key Points: 
  • SAB-142's unique multi-target strategy can be directed at the multiple immunological cell subsets associated with T1D and other autoimmune diseases.
  • SAB will present a poster titled, “Safety and Pharmacodynamic Effects of Novel Fully Human Anti-Thymocyte Polyclonal IgG Antibodies in an IND Enabling GLP Toxicology Study.
  • In the in vivo study conducted under GLP conditions, SAB-142 was administered at three dose levels of 1, 5, and 10 mg/kg.
  • More information on SAB’s T1D candidate, SAB-142, can be found on the pipeline page of SAB’s website: SAB-142: Type 1 Diabetes .
