Targeted therapies tailored to disease biology.

Our Approach

Our precision medicine approach pairs deep immunological insights with human genetics, helping to define immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) by their molecular and cellular signatures.

Understanding the causal cellular drivers of disease allows us to rapidly advance programs from early discovery through clinical development, with a focus on reaching patients that are most likely to benefit from our novel therapeutic agents.

Many IMDs stem from the dysfunction of cells that make up the immune system. Our initial therapeutic programs target, modulate or deplete these cellular drivers of disease. Different IMDs often share the same cellular drivers of disease, and we aim to expand each of our programs to multiple other indications in the IMD landscape.

Plasma cells
Plasmablasts and plasma cells are the body’s primary antibody-secreting cells, implicated in autoantibody-mediated diseases such as Primary Membranous Nephropathy (PMN) and IgA Nephropathy (IgAN).

Our Pipeline

At HI-Bio, we are bringing a fresh perspective to develop treatments for IMDs through our clinical-stage programs and pipeline.

Primary Membranous Nephropathy

Phase 2
Franchise / Cell TypePlasma cell
Target / Molecule NameCD38 / Felzartamab

Felzartamab is an antibody directed against CD38, a protein expressed on the surface of mature plasma cells. When applied, felzartamab is believed to deplete plasma cells, which are believed to drive certain diseases, such as Primary Membranous Nephropathy, through their production of autoantibodies.

Phase 1
Franchise / Cell TypeNeutrophil
Target / Molecule NameC5aR1 / izastobart/HIB210

Izastobart/HIB210 is an anti-C5aR1 antibody with the potential to be a best-in-class therapy for complement-mediated diseases including ANCA Associated Vasculitis (AAV), Hidradenitis Suppurativa, C3 Glomerulonephropathy and Lupus Nephritis. When compared to existing agents, it has shown greater activity against neutrophils, a cell type key to driving several IMDs.
