Corbus Pharmaceuticals Reports Q1 2026 Financial Results and Provides a Corporate Update
•
Reached broad alignment with the FDA on the registration path for CRB-701 for 2L treatment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and cervical cancer with CRB-701
•
Announced presentation of updated CRB-701 data in HNSCC and cervical cancer at ASCO 2026
•
Completed enrollment in 16-week study CANYON-1 study (n=240) of CRB-913 for the treatment of obesity with topline data on track to report this summer
Norwood, MA, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRBP) (“Corbus” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage company focused on developing promising new therapies in oncology and obesity, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the 2026 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
"We’ve continued to build strong momentum with CRB-701 and CRB-913, setting the stage for rapidly approaching inflection points for both the oncology and obesity programs,” said Yuval Cohen, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Corbus.
“Having reached broad alignment with the FDA, we’re on track to start a registrational study for CRB-701 in second-line HNSCC this summer. We’ll report updated data at ASCO 2026 that will provide clear insight into CRB-701's differentiated profile in 2L HNSCC and its upcoming registrational study. We’ll also present updated data in 2L cervical cancer, a patient population with few treatment options. Turning to obesity, we have reached last patient/first visit in our CANYON-1 Phase 1b study and are on schedule to report 16-week, 240-patient data for CRB-913 this summer. CRB-913 represents a unique oral obesity drug with a non-GLP-1 and non-incretin mechanism of action and has the potential for weight loss and long-term weight management. We’re excited about CRB-913's promise to deliver an orthogonal drug class into the obesity treatment landscape.”
Key Corporate and Program Updates
CRB-701 is a next-generation, highly stable Nectin-4 targeting antibody drug conjugate (ADC) being developed to treat HNSCC and cervical cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designations to CRB-701 for the treatment of both cancer types. CRB-701 is licensed from CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. China.
•
Announced broad alignment with the FDA on the registration path for CRB-701 in HNSCC and cervical cancers and continued interactions with the FDA to finalize the protocols and statistical analysis plans for the registrational studies.
•
Anticipated catalysts for CRB-701 in 2026:

Operating expenses increased by $4.5 million to approximately $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in clinical development expenses.
