Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) has initiated the multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of its Phase 1 trial for CRB-913, a highly peripherally restricted CB1 inverse agonist targeting obesity treatment. This advancement follows the successful completion of the single ascending dose (SAD) study's safety and pharmacokinetics analysis.
The MAD study will evaluate once-daily dosing of CRB-913 for 7 days in healthy volunteers, focusing on safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics. Notably, no treatment-related neuropsychiatric events were observed during the SAD portion, even at doses significantly higher than those expected for clinical efficacy.
The company has outlined a clear development timeline: The SAD/MAD portion is scheduled for completion in Q3 2025, followed by a Phase 1b dose-range finding study in obese individuals starting in Q4 2025, with completion expected in the second half of 2026.

The three-part Phase 1 study (NCT06265727) focuses on advanced solid tumors with high Nectin-4 expression, with over 100 participants dosed in the monotherapy cohort.
