SAB BIO to Present Additional Data Supporting the Unique Profile of SAB-142 at the 2026 Immunology of Diabetes Society Congress
MIAMI, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a fully human anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin (hATG) for type 1 diabetes (T1D) and other autoimmune diseases, today announced that the Company will give an oral presentation and multiple poster presentations at the 21st Immunology of Diabetes Society (IDS) Congress being held April 20-24, 2026, in Brisbane, Australia. Data to be presented will highlight SAB BIO’s lead program, SAB-142, a potentially best-in-class, disease-modifying, redosable immunotherapy in clinical development for newly diagnosed Stage 3 T1D patients.
Alexandra Kropotova, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer, SAB BIO, stated, “IDS is an important forum for us to present the breadth of SAB-142's clinical and mechanistic profile. We are pleased to share data on SAB-142's multi-specific binding profile and additional C-peptide data from our patient cohort, which we believe underpins its best-in-class potential. With the SAFEGUARD study now actively enrolling, we look forward to continued engagement with the T1D scientific community as we advance toward our anticipated topline data readout for this study in the 2H 2027.”

About SAB-142
SAB-142 is a potentially disease-modifying, redosable immunotherapy in clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). SAB-142 is a multi-specific, fully human anti-thymocyte globulin (hATG) with a mechanism of action analogous to that of rabbit ATG (rATG). rATG has demonstrated in multiple clinical trials the ability to slow disease progression in patients with new- or recent-onset of Stage 3 T1D. SAB-142, like rATG, directly targets multiple immune cells involved in destroying pancreatic beta cells, including modulation of “bad acting” T-lymphocytes. By stopping immune cells from attacking beta cells, this treatment has the potential to preserve insulin-producing beta cells.
About SAB BIO
SAB BIO is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing multi-specific, high-potency, human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) to treat and prevent immune and autoimmune disorders. Using advanced genetic engineering and antibody science, SAB BIO developed a proprietary technology which holds the potential to generate additional novel therapeutic candidates utilizing the human immune response, without the need for human donors or convalescent plasma. SAB BIO has optimized genetic engineering in the development of transchromosomic cattle, or Tc-Bovine, to produce hIgG. SAB BIO’s drug development production system is able to generate a diverse repertoire of specifically targeted, high-potency, hIgGs that can address a wide range of serious unmet needs in human diseases. The Company’s lead candidate, SAB-142, targets autoimmune T1D with a disease-modifying therapeutic approach that aims to change the T1D treatment paradigm by delaying onset and potentially preventing disease progression of Stage 3 T1D patients. SAB-142 is currently being evaluated in newly diagnosed Stage 3 autoimmune T1D patients in a registrational Phase 2b clinical trial called SAFEGUARD. For more information, visit .
