[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] April Bio announced on the 16th that it has received approval from the Australian Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) for the Phase 1 clinical trial of its autoinflammatory disease treatment candidate 'APB-R3'.


In Phase 1, the pharmacokinetic properties, safety, and immunogenicity of the candidate substance will be evaluated in 31 healthy adults aged between 18 and 60.


According to April Bio, APB-R3 is a protein drug that incorporates technology to extend the time the antibody substance remains in the body, thereby enhancing the duration of its efficacy. Previous animal experiments using mice demonstrated its anti-inflammatory effects.



April Bio, a company developing antibody drugs, submitted the Phase 1 clinical trial plan for this candidate substance in Australia last month.
