SLRN ACELYRIN Inc

ACELYRIN, INC. (Nasdaq: SLRN), a late-stage clinical biopharma company focused on accelerating the development and delivery of transformative medicines in immunology, today announced that positive proof-of-concept data from an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of lonigutamab in thyroid eye disease (TED) will be shared as a late breaking oral presentation at the Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting (ENDO 2024), taking place from June 1-4 in Boston, MA. Lonigutamab is a subcutaneously (SC) delivered humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R). Inhibition of IGF-1R is the only FDA-approved mechanism of action for the treatment of TED.

Presentation details are as follows:

Title: Preliminary Safety And Efficacy Of Subcutaneous Lonigutamab (anti-IGF-1R) From A Phase 1/2 Proof Of Concept Study In Patients With Thyroid Eye DiseaseDate/Time: Monday, June 3; 2:00pm - 2:15pm ETPresenter: Dr. Shoaib Ugradar, Department of Orbital and Oculoplastic Surgery, Private Practice; The Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California

About the Phase 1/2 TrialThe Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT05683496) is a multi-center trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of lonigutamab dosed subcutaneously in three cohorts of patients with active thyroid eye disease (TED). Cohort 1 is placebo-controlled testing lonigutamab 40mg every three weeks (Q3W) through six weeks, cohort 2 is open label testing a 50mg loading dose followed by 25mg every week (QW), and cohort 3 is open label testing every four weeks (Q4W) dosing.

About Thyroid Eye DiseaseThyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a vision-threatening autoimmune disease in which there is both inflammation and expansion of the tissues behind the eye, resulting in eye bulging – known as proptosis – that may result in the subsequent inability to close the eyelids. Double vision, or diplopia, can occur, as well as the potential for compression of the retinal nerve, which can lead to blindness. Thus, TED is a progressive, chronic inflammatory disease where longer-term treatment has the potential to improve depth and durability of response. More than 100,000 people in the United States are estimated to suffer from TED.

About Lonigutamab (anti-IGF-1R)Lonigutamab 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 may also enable the potential for longer-term dosing, which we believe may improve depth and durability of clinical response. Based on our preclinical and pharmacodynamic data from our completed single ascending dose study with lonigutamab, we can potentially optimize the therapeutic window utilizing the SC route of administration.
