- Angitia collaborator also selected for poster presentation


WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California, USA, August 19, 2025 – Angitia Biopharmaceuticals, a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics for serious musculoskeletal diseases, today announced that data from its ongoing program evaluating AGA2115 for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) will be presented at the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research 2025 Annual Meeting (ASBMR) September 5-8, 2025, in Seattle, WA. Conference organizers selected preclinical and clinical abstracts for AGA2115 (or surrogate rodent antibody) submitted by the Company as highlights of the Annual Meeting, of which two were selected for oral presentations.


Details of the oral presentations are as follows:

About Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited connective tissue disorder with pathophysiology driven by abnormal collagen metabolism resulting in skeletal deformity, bone fragility, reduced bone mass, and variable extra-skeletal symptoms. OI occurs in approximately 1 in 15,000 births, with between 20,000 to 50,000 affected individuals in the United States. As a rare pediatric disease, OI ranges in severity from mild to severe and life-threatening. Disease manifestations occur in the neonatal and pediatric age groups, presenting with frequent and recurrent fractures, often elicited by little or no trauma. Severe OI cases manifest with multiple debilitating fractures resulting in loss of independent movement, deformity, and stunted growth, or, in severe cases, perinatal mortality. Patients also suffer from muscle weakness, joint laxity, dental issues, hearing loss, and skeletal malformations.

There are no approved therapies for the treatment of OI.


About AGA2115

AGA2115 is a first-in-class, bispecific antibody being developed for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted AGA2115 Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) and the EMA has also granted AGA2115 an ODD. A Phase 1, first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending-dose study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AGA2115 in adult healthy volunteers. A Phase 2 study is planned to evaluate the efficacy of AGA2115 in adult OI patients, with additional studies in pediatric patients to follow.
