Rallybio Presents Results Of Epidemiological Analysis Demonstrating FNAIT Risk Across Racially And Ethnically Diverse Populations
– First Reported Large-Scale Analysis of FNAIT Risk Across Broad Population of Diverse Ancestries –
– Topline Results Suggest a Significant Increase in the Number of Pregnancies at Higher Risk for FNAIT Annually and the RLYB212 Addressable Market –
– Rallybio On Track to Initiate RLYB212 Phase 2 Dose Confirmation Study in Pregnant Women at Higher Risk for FNAIT in 2H 2024 –
Rallybio Corporation (NASDAQ:RLYB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company translating scientific advances into transformative therapies for patients with devastating rare diseases, today reported topline results from an epidemiological analysis of large genomic datasets evaluating the frequency of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) risk in diverse ancestries. Data from this analysis confirmed Caucasian populations as having the greatest proportion of women with the genetic markers for higher FNAIT risk (HPA-1a negative, HLA-DRB3*01:01 positive). Additionally, data from this analysis provides, for the first time, robust evidence quantifying the proportion of women in non-Caucasian ancestries that carry the genetic markers for higher FNAIT risk.
