iBio announced new preclinical data for its IBIO-610 Activin E antibody candidate from an obese non-human primate study. A single dose of IBIO-610 achieved up to 98% inhibition of active Activin E through eight weeks. The data also showed IBIO-610's potential for fat-selective weight loss while preserving lean mass, and when combined with semaglutide, it reduced lean mass loss by 73% compared to semaglutide alone. These findings support its potential as a stand-alone or complementary therapy for obesity.
