In other recent news, Rallybio Corporation has announced the termination of its RLYB212 program following disappointing results from a Phase 2 trial. The trial failed to meet the necessary pharmacokinetic concentrations for the prevention of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT). This decision has led to a downgrade by Citizens JMP, which moved the stock rating from Market Outperform to Market Perform due to the lack of sufficient data for safe dosage adjustments. Similarly, Evercore ISI downgraded Rallybio’s stock from "Outperform" to "In Line," citing concerns over recent study data that did not meet anticipated targets. Despite these setbacks, Rallybio is shifting its focus to the development of RLYB116, a differentiated C5 inhibitor, with Phase 1 data expected in the latter half of 2025. Analysts from Citizens JMP have noted that while RLYB116 is not currently factored into their valuation, its potential utility is intriguing. Rallybio is also advancing its preclinical programs, including REV102 for hypophosphatasia and RLYB332 for iron overload diseases. The company’s strategic shift and upcoming data releases will be closely monitored by investors and analysts alike.
