Jasper Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2024
Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., November 7, 2024 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) - Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JSPR) (Jasper), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on development
of briquilimab, a novel antibody therapy targeting c-Kit (CD117) to address mast cell driven diseases such as chronic spontaneous urticaria
(CSU), chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) and asthma, today reported results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, provided
a corporate update and announced the closure of Jasper's legacy clinical study in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS).
"We achieved several significant milestones
in our mast cell development programs in recent months, highlighted by positive initial data from our SPOTLIGHT study in CIndU,"
said Ronald Martell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jasper. "We were very excited to present our first dataset evaluating
briquilmab in a mast cell disease, which showed that over 90% of patients treated in the 40mg and 120mg dose cohorts achieved a clinical
response, with no serious adverse events (SAEs) and no grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) reported. We also made significant progress
advancing our development programs in chronic urticaria and asthma with the addition of higher dose cohorts in the BEACON and SPOTLIGHT
studies as well as the attainment of regulatory clearance in Canada and the EU for our asthma challenge study. We are looking forward
to our next major milestone with the presentation of initial data from the BEACON study expected during the week of January 6th,
Highlights for Third Quarter 2024 and Recent Weeks
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Briquilimab is a targeted aglycosylated monoclonal
antibody that blocks stem cell factor from binding to the cell-surface receptor c-Kit, also known as CD117, thereby inhibiting signaling
through the receptor. This inhibition disrupts the critical survival signal, leading to the depletion of the mast cells via apoptosis
which removes the underlying source of the inflammatory response in mast cell driven diseases such as chronic urticaria. Jasper is currently
conducting clinical studies of briquilimab as a treatment in patients with CSU or with CIndU and is initiating a clinical study in patients
with asthma. Briquilimab is also currently in clinical studies as a conditioning agent for cell therapies for rare diseases. To date,
briquilimab has a demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in more than 160 dosed participants and healthy volunteers, with clinical outcomes
in CIndU, and as a conditioning agent in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes
(MDS), Fanconi anemia (FA), and sickle cell disease (SCD).
Jasper is a clinical-stage biotechnology company
developing briquilimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting c-Kit (CD117) as a therapeutic for chronic mast and stem cell diseases such as
chronic urticaria and asthma and as a conditioning agent for stem cell transplants for rare diseases such as SCD, FA and SCID. To date,
briquilimab has a demonstrated efficacy and safety profile in more than 160 dosed participants and healthy volunteers, with clinical outcomes
in CIndU and as a conditioning agent in SCID, AML, MDS, FA, and SCD. For more information, please visit us at www.jaspertherapeutics.com.
