Announcement
Mereo BioPharma Group plc today provided an update on its lead clinical programs, setrusumab, a monoclonal antibody in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) through a partnership with Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc.
AI Summary
Mereo BioPharma Group plc provided an update on its lead clinical programs focused on rare diseases. The update highlighted setrusumab, a monoclonal antibody being developed in Phase 3 for treating Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). This program is advancing through a partnership with Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc. The ongoing Phase 3 Orbit Study is dosing patients and is on track for a planned second interim analysis in mid-2025. In addition, the Cosmic study, an open-label trial comparing setrusumab against standard intravenous bisphosphonate therapy in young patients aged 2 to under 7 years, is also continuing treatment. The promising data from earlier Phase 2 studies have built strong confidence in setrusumab’s potential to become a standard-of-care treatment for OI. The company is actively preparing for market launch in key European regions while moving forward with these critical clinical milestones.

Announcement
āshibio, a privately held, clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of bone and connective tissue disorders, today announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Mereo BioPharma for vantictumab for the treatment of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (ADO2), a rare, debilitating bone disorder with no approved therapies.
AI Summary
āshibio, a privately held clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on bone and connective tissue disorders, announced an exclusive global (excluding Europe) license from Mereo BioPharma for vantictumab to treat autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (ADO2), a rare, debilitating disease with no approved therapies. This marks the second clinical-stage asset āshibio has licensed from Mereo, following promising insights in a mouse model of osteopetrosis.
ADO2, also called Albers-Schönberg disease, results from a CLCN7 gene mutation that impairs osteoclasts, causing overly dense but brittle bones, frequent fractures, poor healing, low blood counts and nerve pain. Vantictumab, a monoclonal antibody that blocks key Wnt signaling receptors, was previously tested in oncology trials and showed a favorable safety profile and biomarker evidence of osteoclast activity.
Under the agreement, āshibio will lead clinical development and commercialization outside Europe, aiming to rapidly advance vantictumab into human studies for both adult and pediatric ADO2 patients.
