We Are CASI
An innovative biopharmaceutical company developing an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody treatment for organ transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases.
TRANSPLANT PATIENTS CAN'T WAIT
Despite recent advancements in organ transplantation, antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remains an urgent unmet medical need. Among kidney transplant patients, for example, approximately 12% experience acute or chronic AMR—affecting more than 30,000 people in the United States alone. Currently, there is no FDA-approved treatment for AMR. At CASI, we are striving to bring a first-in-class and best-in-class therapy to alleviate the burden of AMR on affected patients.
FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING CID-103
CID-103 is an investigational monoclonal antibody. Its targets include B memory, plasmablasts, and B plasma cells. The anti-CD38 approach aims to address limitations seen with CD19 and CD20-targeted therapies, which do not deplete persistent plasma cells—cells that may contribute to organ transplant rejection by generating antibodies which attack the donor kidney.
Peer-reviewed medical literature, including important articles in the New England Journal of Medicine, point to the promise of the anti-CD38 approach in organ transplant and also autoimmune diseases such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
