Jade Biosciences Announces New Data Presentations for JADE101 at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2025

Rhea-AI Summary

Jade Biosciences (Nasdaq: JBIO) will present new preclinical safety and translational data for JADE101 at ASN Kidney Week 2025 in Houston, Nov 5–9, 2025. JADE101 is an anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody in development for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) and is engineered for subcutaneous dosing based on differentiated preclinical PK/PD in non-human primates.

The company is conducting a Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial of JADE101, with interim data expected in the first half of 2026. Two poster presentations are scheduled on Nov 8, 2025, 10:00 AM–12:00 PM CT: SA-PO0255 (nonclinical safety) and SA-PO0272 (translational framework), presented by Ashley McCord and Brandon Gufford.

Insights

Clinical Development Strategist

JADE101 shows preclinical safety data and an active Phase 1 with interim data expected in first half of 2026.

JADE101 targets APRIL for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and will present two preclinical/translational posters at ASN Kidney Week November 5–9, 2025. The program reports a differentiated non-human primate pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile and a design that aims for subcutaneous dosing, which supports the pathway from preclinical proof toward clinical testing.

Key dependencies and risks include how the Phase 1 healthy volunteer data will confirm the claimed safety and the translational model’s ability to predict patient responses; neither clinical efficacy nor patient safety in IgAN has been demonstrated yet. Watch for the poster session on November 8, 2025 and the planned interim Phase 1 readout in first half of 2026 as concrete near-term milestones that will materially inform credibility and development pacing.

• Presentations to highlight JADE101’s preclinical safety profile and translational framework guiding its clinical development in IgA nephropathy
  
• JADE101 is an investigational, potentially best-in-class disease-modifying anti-APRIL monoclonal antibody, with a Phase 1 healthy volunteer study underway
  

SAN FRANCISCO and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jade Biosciences, Inc. (“the Company” or “Jade”), (Nasdaq: JBIO), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing best-in-class therapies for autoimmune diseases, today announced that it will present new preclinical safety and translational data for JADE101, its lead investigational candidate for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), during two poster sessions at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2025, taking place November 5–9 in Houston, Texas.

JADE101 is designed to selectively inhibit A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL) in patients with IgAN, an autoimmune disease that leads to end-stage kidney disease over the lifetime of most patients. The therapy is engineered with properties intended to achieve the full efficacy of APRIL pathway inhibition with patient-friendly subcutaneous dosing, based on its differentiated preclinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile in non-human primates. JADE101 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial, with interim data expected in the first half of 2026.

About JADE101

JADE101 is a novel, fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively blocks APRIL with ultra-high binding affinity and is engineered for half-life extension. Preclinical studies demonstrated potent, sustained IgA suppression after a single dose in non-human primates, with a serum half-life of approximately 27 days. JADE101 was designed to avoid formation of high molecular weight immune complexes, with the goal of supporting predictable pharmacokinetics and reduced immunogenicity risk. Its differentiated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile supports the potential for infrequent and convenient subcutaneous dosing, an important consideration for a condition often diagnosed in young adulthood and potentially requiring life-long treatment.

A Phase 1 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating single ascending subcutaneous doses of JADE101 in healthy adult volunteers is ongoing. The Company expects data from the Phase 1 trial to define dose and dosing interval selection for later-stage studies, based on biomarker responses associated with optimal clinical activity in IgAN patients. More information on the JADE101 Phase 1 trial is available on ClinicalTrials.gov.
