NORWOOD, Mass., Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRBP), a clinical-stage company focused on developing new therapies in oncology and obesity, today announced that the Company’s management team will host a conference call webcast on Monday, September 14 at 8:00 a.m. EDT, to discuss topline data for CANYON-1, a Phase 1b study of CRB-913 for the treatment of obesity. Harold Bays, M.D., an investigator for the study, will be a guest speaker in the event. CRB-913 is a once-daily highly peripherally restricted oral CB1 inverse agonist potentially offering an orthogonal approach to weight loss and long-term weight management and a new therapeutic option for obesity beyond GLP-1 and other incretin-targeting therapies.
The CANYON-1 Phase 1b clinical trial is a 16-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study in 240 obese, non-diabetic adult participants conducted at multiple clinical sites in the United States (NCT07310901). The trial includes three CRB-913 cohorts of 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg dosed orally once-daily (QD) as well as a placebo cohort (randomization of 1:1:1:1). A dose titration regimen was included in the design, with all participants receiving CRB-913 commencing at 20 mg/day and then titrating up to either 40 mg/day or beyond that to 60 mg/day, depending on their assigned cohorts. Participants were dosed for 12 weeks followed by a four-week safety follow-up.
