Presentations will feature encore Phase 1 data highlighting the mechanism of action, redosing potential, and early C-peptide response associated with SAB-142, a fully human multi-specific ATG for Stage 3 type 1 diabetes
MIAMI, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SABS ), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a fully human anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin (hATG) for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases, today announced presentations at the upcoming inaugural Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress (CRC 2026) being held October 9-11, 2026 in Philadelphia, PA. Presentations will include encore Phase 1 data for SAB-142, a potentially disease-modifying, redosable immunotherapy in clinical development for the treatment of Stage 3 T1D.
“We are proud to sponsor and participate in the inaugural Breakthrough T1D Clinical & Research Congress, an important forum bringing together researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, and advocates focused on changing the future of type 1 diabetes,” said Alexandra Kropotova, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer, SAB BIO . “Our presentations will feature available safety and efficacy data for SAB-142 and provide information on the SAFEGUARD and PRISE-hATG studies evaluating SAB-142 as a potential immunotherapy across the T1D disease continuum. Our collaboration with Breakthrough T1D reflects a shared commitment to advancing innovative approaches that move beyond exogenous insulin administration and toward preserving organic endogenous insulin production.”

About SAB-142 SAB-142 is a potentially disease-modifying, redosable immunotherapy in clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). SAB-142 is a multi-specific, fully human anti-thymocyte globulin (hATG) with a mechanism of action analogous to that of rabbit ATG (rATG). rATG has demonstrated in multiple clinical trials the ability to slow disease progression in patients with new- or recent-onset of Stage 3 T1D. SAB-142, like rATG, directly targets multiple immune cells involved in destroying pancreatic beta cells, including modulation of “bad acting” T-lymphocytes. By stopping immune cells from attacking beta cells, this treatment has the potential to preserve insulin-producing beta cells.
About SAB BIO SAB BIO is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multi-specific, high-potency, human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) to treat and prevent immune and autoimmune disorders. Using advanced genetic engineering and antibody science, SAB BIO developed a proprietary technology which holds the potential to generate additional novel therapeutic candidates utilizing the human immune response, without the need for human donors or convalescent plasma. SAB BIO has optimized genetic engineering in the development of transchromosomic cattle, or Tc-Bovine, to produce hIgG. SAB BIO’s drug development production system is able to generate a diverse repertoire of specifically targeted, high-potency, hIgGs that can address a wide range of serious unmet needs in human diseases. The Company’s lead candidate, SAB-142, targets autoimmune T1D with a disease-modifying therapeutic approach that aims to change the T1D treatment paradigm by delaying onset and potentially preventing disease progression of Stage 3 T1D patients. SAB-142 is currently being evaluated in newly diagnosed Stage 3 autoimmune T1D patients in a registrational Phase 2b clinical trial called SAFEGUARD. For more information, visit www.sab.bio .
