Rallybio sinks as it drops RLYB212 for prevention of FNAIT

9 April 2025

US clinical-stage rare diseases focused Rallybio Corporation (Nasdaq: RLYB) says it will discontinue the development of its RLYB212 program for the prevention of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT).

The company’s shares closed down 41% on the news yesterday, and fell a further 9% to $0.23 in premarket activity today.

Rallybio said its decision was based on pharmacokinetic (PK) data from the Phase II clinical trial demonstrating the inability of the RLYB212 dose regimen to achieve predicted target concentrations, as well as the minimum target concentration required for efficacy. Rallybio remains focused on advancing RLYB116, a once-weekly low volume C5 inhibitor for the treatment of complement-driven diseases, as well as its emerging preclinical programs.
