Over the last few months, Corbus reported Q3 2025 results and a CRB-701 data update on Nov 12, with the stock rising 7.39%. Two late-October financing announcements, including a $75M public offering, led to declines of 26.09% and 2.49%. Conference and clinical data presentations in mid-October had limited price impact. Today’s planned CRB-913 Phase 1a readout follows earlier guidance that this SAD/MAD data would arrive by end of 2025.

About CRB-913
CRB-913 is an oral small molecule inverse agonist of the G-protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) cannabinoid type-1 (CB1). This is a recognized mechanism of action for weight loss, but the first generation of experimental drugs in this class was abandoned due to potential neuropsychiatric adverse event risks. CRB-913 is a highly peripherally restricted CB1 inverse agonist designed to have reduced brain penetration. Preclinical models have shown CRB-913 to be 15-fold less brain-penetrant than monlunabant (another experimental CB1 inverse agonist) and to have 50 times lower brain:plasma ratio than rimonabant (an extensively studied first-generation CB1 inverse agonist).
