iBio Reports Q3 Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Received regulatory clearance to initiate its phase 1 clinical trial of IBIO-600 in Australia
Announced a strategic pipeline expansion into pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF) of its bispecific antibody
Reported new preclinical data from its obese non-human primate (NHP) study evaluating IBIO-610, with visceral fat reduced by 6.7% and total fat mass by 5.2%
San Diego, California / May 12, 2026 / (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) / iBio, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBIO), an AI-driven innovator developing therapies for cardiometabolic, obesity and cardiopulmonary diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended Mar. 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update on its progress.
“This last quarter was marked by significant advancement across our full pipeline. Most importantly, we received the clearance to enter the clinic with IBIO-600, which we believe has best-in-class potential due to its ability to preserve lean mass and improve body composition in obesity,” said Martin Brenner, D.V.M., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of iBio. “We also presented new data for IBIO-610 demonstrating targeted reduction of total and visceral fat in obese non-human primates (NHPs) and expanded our pipeline with our selective bispecific antibody designed to block Activin A, GDF8 (myostatin) and GDF11, potentially to treat PH-HFpEF, which represents a high unmet need. Together, these milestones continue to demonstrate the significant potential of our platform and our commitment to developing differentiated therapies to meaningfully impact the lives of patients.”
Third Fiscal Quarter 2026 & Recent Corporate Updates:
| • | Announced receipt of Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) acknowledgement from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) approval to initiate a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of IBIO-600, a long-acting anti-myostatin monoclonal antibody designed to preserve lean mass and improve body composition. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IBIO-600 in overweight and obese adults, with first participant dosing expected in the second quarter of calendar 2026. |
| • | Announced a strategic pipeline expansion into pulmonary hypertension associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). iBio is engineering a selective bispecific antibody designed to block Activin A, GDF8 (myostatin), and GDF11 to reduce cardiac fibrosis, reverse pulmonary vascular remodeling, and improve whole body functional capacity, while avoiding safety issues linked to broader TGFβ ligand blockade. |
| • | Presented new preclinical data from its obese non-human primate (NHP) study evaluating IBIO-610, potentially a first-in-class Activin E antibody candidate. The preclinical body composition data demonstrate IBIO-610 reduced fat mass in obese NHPs compared to vehicle-treated obese NHPs, in a small, not statistically powered study. Following two once-every-eight-week dosing, IBIO-610 |
| reduced visceral fat by 6.7% and total fat mass by 5.2%, with only a slight increase in lean mass following treatment. |
| • | Delivered an oral presentation at Drug R&D on February 24, 2026, titled “Accelerating Antibody Drug Discovery with Artificial Intelligence.” |
| • | Delivered a company presentation at Biocom California’s Global Life Science Partnering & Investor Conference on February 25, 2026. |
| • | Participated in fireside chats at the Leerink Global Healthcare Conference and the Oppenheimer 36th Annual Healthcare Life Sciences Conference. |
Financial Results:
No revenue was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, were $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, an increase of approximately $1.4 million. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due to increased spending for consultants and outside services supporting the Company’s R&D efforts, including conducting the NHP studies and CMC activities, and an increase in personnel costs as a result of advancing research activities for the Company’s IBIO-600 and IBIO-610 programs and other preclinical pipeline assets.
General and Administrative expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, were approximately $5.1 million and $3 million, respectively, an increase of $2.1 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the impairment of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible asset IBIO-101 of $2.5 million offset by lower IT related costs and franchise taxes.
iBio held cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities of $74.8 million as of March 31, 2026. In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $17 million from warrant exercises extending the Company’s cash runway into fourth quarter of fiscal year 2028.

These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations and assumptions from those set forth or implied by any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among others, the ability of iBio to initiate a first-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial of IBIO-600, with the dosing of the first participant in the IBIO-600 Phase 1 clinical trial in the second quarter of calendar 2026; iBio’s ability to obtain regulatory approvals for commercialization of its product candidates, or to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements; regulatory limitations relating to iBio’s ability to promote or commercialize its product candidates for specific indications; acceptance of iBio’s product candidates in the marketplace and the successful development, marketing or sale of products; and whether iBio will incur unforeseen expenses or liabilities or other market factors; and the other factors discussed in iBio’s filings with the SEC including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 and its subsequent filings with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.
