Recent 2021 Business Highlights : • • In July 2021 , Phase 1/2 clinical proof - of - concept data for RLYB211 was presented at the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis ( ISTH ) 2021 Virtual Congress . RLYB211 is a polyclonal anti - HPA - 1a antibody in development for the prevention of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia ( FNAIT ) . The data presented at ISTH demonstrated the ability of an anti - HPA - 1a antibody to rapidly and completely clear HPA - 1a positive platelets from the circulation of HPA - 1a negative participants . Based on these results , Rallybio believes that administration of an anti - HPA - 1a antibody could be a viable approach for the prevention of FNAIT . In addition , treatment with RLYB211 was safe and well tolerated , and no serious adverse events were observed . The poster presentation can be accessed on Rallybio's website here .
