Thursday, April 4, 2024

BERKELEY, Calif., April 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caribou Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRBU), a leading clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, today announced that it received clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for CB-010, an allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy with a PD-1 knockout (KO), for the treatment of lupus nephritis (LN) and extrarenal lupus (ERL). The Phase 1, multicenter, open label GALLOP clinical trial of CB-010 in patients with LN and ERL is expected to initiate by year-end 2024.

Key Points: 
  • The Phase 1, multicenter, open label GALLOP clinical trial of CB-010 in patients with LN and ERL is expected to initiate by year-end 2024.
  • CB-010 targets CD19, a protein on the surface of B cells, and has a PD-1 knockout (KO) that reduces CAR-T cell exhaustion.
  • CB-010 holds the potential for deep depletion of disease-causing B cells which could reset the immune system, leading to sustained drug-free remission.
  • Instead, the chRDNA technology allows for precise insertion of the CAR at an intended location within the T cell genome.
