SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Nov. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAPT Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RAPT) (“RAPT” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage immunology-based biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing novel therapies for patients living with inflammatory and immunological diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
“We have considerable momentum heading into the end of the year. We see tremendous potential for ozureprubart in large IgE-driven indications such as food allergy and CSU, and our recent financing gives us additional capital to advance our programs,” said Brian Wong, President and CEO of RAPT. “Looking ahead, we plan to report topline results from Jeyou’s Phase 2 trial of ozureprubart in asthma and to provide additional details from the recently reported Phase 2 clinical trial in CSU at a medical meeting next year. We also plan to meet with the FDA and other regulatory agencies to discuss the registrational pathway in CSU.”
Recent Highlights
- In September, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) Application to proceed to a Phase 2b clinical trial of ozureprubart (RPT904) in food allergy. In October, the Company initiated the prestIgE Phase 2b trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ozureprubart dosed every 8 weeks (Q8W) and every 12 weeks (Q12W) as a treatment for food allergy.
In October, together with Shanghai Jeyou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Jeyou), announced positive topline data from Jeyou’s Phase 2 trial of ozureprubart as monotherapy in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Results from this study, which was conducted in China, indicate that ozureprubart dosed Q8W or Q12W has comparable efficacy and safety to omalizumab dosed Q4W, and the companies believe these results warrant advancing ozureprubart to Phase 3 development in CSU. Although the study was not a formal non-inferiority study and no statistical hypothesis was tested, the data from both the ozureprubart Q8W and Q12W treatment arms showed numerically greater improvement on the UAS7 endpoint and numerically higher proportion of patients with UAS7=0 at all timepoints (Weeks 8, 12 and 16) compared to omalizumab Q4W.
- In October, completed an underwritten public offering of 8,333,334 shares of common stock at a price of
$30.00 per share for gross proceeds of$250 million . The Company’s current cash balance is projected to fund operations to mid-2028, which includes the planned initiation of Phase 3 studies of ozureprubart in CSU.
