Anap­tys­Bio clears an ear­ly hur­dle in low-stress PoC study for peanut al­ler­gy med -- big ques­tions go unan­swered

Anap­tys­Bio $ANAB got a big boost out of some ear­ly and pos­i­tive re­sults for its peanut al­ler­gy med ANB020. It was a small, short study and sev­er­al an­a­lysts had set the bar low for suc­cess in the Q1 cat­a­lyst.

Al­to­geth­er re­searchers lined up 20 pa­tients for the study. And of the 13 in the drug arm who ex­hib­it­ed mod­er­ate-to-se­vere symp­toms go­ing in, 6 (46%) demon­strat­ed peanut tol­er­ance to 500mg at an in­ter­im point in the Phase IIa study. And they of­fered a shout out that on­ly 1 in 15 pa­tients on drug ex­hib­it­ed al­ler­gy symp­toms, com­pared to 4 of 5 in the place­bo group.
