Announcement
Climb Bio, Inc. announced the upcoming presentation of CLYM116 preclinical data and published budoprutug pMN Phase 1b long-term outcome data at the 2025 American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week, which will be held in Houston, TX November 6-9, 2025.
AI Summary
Climb Bio will present preclinical data for CLYM116 and publish long-term Phase 1b outcomes for budoprutug at the 2025 ASN Kidney Week in Houston, Nov 6–9.
CLYM116 is a novel anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody developed for IgA nephropathy. In preclinical models, it promoted APRIL degradation and recycled efficiently to extend half-life, yielding deep and durable reductions in pathogenic IgA. These favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles support advancing CLYM116 toward clinical trials.
In addition, Climb Bio released long-term follow-up results for budoprutug, an anti-CD19 antibody tested in primary membranous nephropathy. Four patients showed sustained control of proteinuria up to three years after up to four doses, with no significant treatment-related adverse events. Three patients avoided further immunosuppressive therapy. These findings highlight budoprutug’s potential as a disease-modifying therapy for B-cell mediated kidney diseases.
Both will inform clinical strategies and next steps for these therapies.

Announcement
Climb Bio, Inc. announced results from a completed nonhuman primate (NHP) study comparing CLYM116 to sibeprenlimab, a first-generation anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody.
AI Summary
Climb Bio, Inc. reported results from a nonhuman primate study comparing its novel anti-APRIL antibody, CLYM116, to sibeprenlimab, a first-generation anti-APRIL antibody. In this head-to-head test, CLYM116 showed a two to three times longer half-life and over 70% maximal reduction in IgA after a single subcutaneous dose at 6 mg/kg. The subcutaneous formulation also reached about 85% bioavailability and was well tolerated. These findings suggest CLYM116 could offer deeper, longer-lasting control of IgA with less frequent dosing than earlier therapies.
The company plans to begin a Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers in the fourth quarter of 2025, pending regulatory clearance. Early biomarker results and dosing interval data are expected by mid-2026. CLYM116’s design uses a pH-dependent “sweeper” mechanism to block APRIL, promote its degradation, and recycle the antibody, potentially improving treatment for IgA nephropathy.
Climb Bio is hosting an R&D Spotlight Webcast on September 29, 2025, to share these preclinical findings and discuss next steps.
