In other recent news, Climb Bio, previously known as Eliem Therapeutics, has been making significant strides in the development of treatments for immune-mediated diseases. Leerink Partners initiated coverage on Climb Bio, citing the company's promising potential in the CD19-targeting space. The firm's Outperform rating and a price target of $10.00 indicate a significant upside from its current valuation.
Climb Bio's early-stage clinical candidate, budo, has shown encouraging data. Leerink Partners anticipate that the company's three initial clinical programs could achieve substantial market potential. The firm's analysis suggests that Climb Bio's stock will respond positively to upcoming clinical readouts from similar CD19-targeting programs.
The company also presented its Phase 1b study of Budoprutug, an innovative anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody, at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2024. This research, led by nephrology expert Frank Cortazar, M.D., focuses on the treatment of Primary Membranous Nephropathy, a kidney disorder.
In a strategic shift, Climb Bio acquired Tenet Medicines, leading to a corporate rebranding and renewed commitment to developing treatments for immune-mediated diseases. This acquisition is projected to leave the company with approximately $210 million in cash and equivalents, expected to support operations until 2027 and help achieve clinical milestones for Tenet's leading product candidate, TNT119. Alongside these changes, Climb Bio made significant alterations to its executive team, appointing Dr. Brett Kaplan as the new Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Aoife Brennan as President and CEO, and Dr. Stephen Thomas, the CEO of Tenet, joining the board.
