āshibio has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Mereo BioPharma (NASDAQ: MREO) for vantictumab, targeting the treatment of autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type 2 (ADO2), a rare bone disorder affecting 1 in 20,000 births.
Vantictumab, a monoclonal antibody that inhibits Wnt signaling pathways by binding to frizzled receptors, has shown promising safety and biomarker data in previous oncology trials. The drug will be developed for ADO2, a genetic disorder caused by CLCN7 gene mutation that results in dense, brittle bones and various complications.
Under the agreement, āshibio gains development and commercialization rights globally, except in Europe, where Mereo retains commercial rights. Preclinical data will be presented at the ASBMR annual meeting in September 2025.
