Cibus Therapeutics is advancing a promising small-molecule therapy, CBT-101, targeting a plethora of inflammatory signaling cascades for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis and ulcerative colitis. Our program leverages cutting-edge science to address the underlying mechanisms of inflammation, offering hope for transformative treatments.
Chronic Pancreatitis, Ulcerative Colitis
CBT-101 molecule is a small-molecule therapy designed to modulate a cascade of inflammatory signaling pathways, including but not limited to NLRP3 inflammasome, JAK/STAT, and cytokine cascades, to comprehensively reduce inflammation in chronic pancreatitis and ulcerative colitis.
CBT-101 is currently undergoing IND-enabling studies, with First-in-Human (FIH) trials planned for 2026.
Chronic Pancreatitis: A progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas characterized by persistent pain, exocrine and endocrine dysfunction, and an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. CBT-101 targets the inflammatory cascades driving pancreatic inflammation and fibrosis, aiming to halt disease progression and alleviate symptoms. Preclinical studies have shown promising reductions in inflammatory markers and tissue damage in multiple pancreatitis models.
Ulcerative Colitis: A major form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causing chronic inflammation and ulceration of the colon, leading to severe symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea. CBT-101 modulates dysregulated immune responses in the gut, offering a potential oral therapy with improved efficacy and safety. Preclinical data indicate significant reductions in inflammatory cytokines and mucosal damage in colitis models.
We are preparing CBT-101 for Investigational New Drug (IND) submission, with plans to initiate FIH trials in 2026.
Our pipeline is built on precision, accessibility, and innovation:
Precision: Targeting multiple inflammatory pathways for maximize efficacy and minimize side effects.
Accessibility: Developing an oral small molecule therapy for ease of administration.
Speed: Accelerating clinical development through advanced technologies and strategic partnerships.
Cibus Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company developing innovative small-molecule therapies for chronic pancreatitis and IBD. Based in Palo Alto, we combine science and compassion to improve lives.
