California-based biopharmaceutical company Bird Rock Bio has announced study results which could bring an affordable treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) closer for patients around the world.
Bird Rock Bio, formerly known as RuiYi, revealed positive results from two clinical studies on gerilimzumab, a novel anti-IL-6 cytokine antibody for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, including RA.
In both studies, gerilimzumab demonstrated safety as well as pharmacokinetic support for very low dosing of the drug of less than 50mg per patient, per year. Just one subcutaneous injection every eight weeks is required.
