Two additional posters provided details from preclinical studies supporting the clinical program. (GlobeNewswire) - "The first outlines the use of radiolabelled CIT-013 as an imaging tool, with data indicating CIT-013 is a targeted therapy which accumulates specifically in inflamed tissue. The second evaluates calprotectin as a biomarker of disease activity, with a correlation seen between treatment response and serum calprotectin levels, supporting its use as a biomarker in RA."

Citryll Presents Positive Data from Phase I Study of CIT-013 in Rheumatoid Arthritis at ACR Convergence 2025 (GlobeNewswire) - "The featured poster highlights findings from Citryll’s Phase I clinical trial of CIT-013 in participants with RA and healthy volunteers, which demonstrated that CIT-013 was generally well tolerated across all participants, with no serious treatment-related events reported. Importantly, clinically meaningful reductions in disease activity were seen in all active RA participants treated with CIT-013."

Radiolabelled anti-citrullinated histone antibody CIT-013 as a tool to visualize NET rich inflamed joints in a collagen induced arthritic mouse model (ACR Convergence 2025) - "mACHA can be used as a radiotracer to visualize NETs in sites of inflammation. This proof of principle imaging study enables a human whole body PET CT imaging clinical study in RA and hidradenitis suppurativa patients during 2025. This clinical study will lead to further insights in CIT-013's distribution, target engagement and mechanism of action in patients with immune mediated inflammatory diseases."

Phase I Trial in Participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Healthy Volunteers with CIT-013, a First in Class NETosis Inhibitor (ACR Convergence 2025) - "CIT-013 was well tolerated and a DAS28-CRP reduction was observed in participants with RA and active disease. These findings support further clinical development."

Calprotectin Serum levels: a potential neutrophil activation biomarker to monitor treatment response in Rheumatoid Arthritis (ACR Convergence 2025) - "Our data obtained from the analyses of two longitudinal RA cohorts demonstrate that serum calprotectin and its change can be used as a biomarker for disease activity and response to treatment. Citryll is developing a novel antibody therapeutic mAb (CIT-013) that targets release of extracellular traps from neutrophils. It is our intention to further probe the utility of calprotectin, along with other conventionally used endpoints, as a marker of response to therapy in an RA phase 2a proof of concept study which will begin in 2025."

Inhibition of EETosis with an anti-citrullinated histone antibody: a novel therapeutic approach for eosinophilic inflammatory disorders. (PubMed, Front Immunol) - "CIT-013 potently inhibits release of EETs (half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 2.5 nM) without inhibiting other eosinophil functions such as degranulation, adhesion, superoxide production and induction of chemokine expression. Together, this study provides new insights into the requirement of protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) for EETosis, differentiates requirements of EETosis from galectin-10 release, and identifies a novel therapeutic approach for EETosis inhibition by targeting citrullinated histones in eosinophil-driven diseases such as ECRS."

Citryll Demonstrates a Broader Therapeutic Potential for CIT-013 in the Treatment of Inflammatory Disorders (GlobeNewswire) - "Citryll...today announces the publication of new research in Frontiers in Immunology. The study demonstrates that CIT-013, originally developed to target NETs, also effectively inhibits the formation of eosinophil extracellular traps (EETs) with the same potency and verifies the presence of CIT-013’s epitope on EETs. These findings further validate Citryll’s approach and highlight the broader therapeutic potential of CIT-013 beyond inflammatory diseases that are neutrophilic in nature.....Citryll is currently investigating CIT-013 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)."

Anti-Citrullinated Histone Antibody CIT-013 Targets NETs in Inflamed Joints and Halts NET-mediated Joint Deterioration (ACR Convergence 2024) - "Together, this demonstrates that CIT-013 can target its epitopes in inflamed joints, suppresses the proinflammatory properties of NETs, and thereby has therapeutic potential for IMIDs like RA. This strengthens further the potential of CIT-013 as a unique therapeutic approach for NET-associated diseases with unmet therapeutic needs. CIT-013 is expected to enter phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trials in RA and Hidradenitis suppurativa during 2024."

Real-Time, High-Throughput Microscopic Quantification of Human Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Release and Assessing the Pharmacology of Antagonists. (PubMed, J Vis Exp) - "To exemplify the utility of this method to study NETosis antagonists, we used CIT-013, a first-in-class monoclonal antibody inhibitor of NET release...Other anti-histone antibodies tested lacked this NETosis-inhibitory capacity. Altogether, we demonstrate that this protocol enables specific, reliable, and reproducible high-throughput quantification of NETs, enhancing the study of NET release characteristics, kinetics, and pharmacology of NETosis antagonists."
