About BTL-203

BTL-203 is a bispecific antibody for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It works by blocking the interaction between FcRn and IgG with high affinity, thereby inhibiting FcRn-mediated IgG recycling and accelerating the lysosomal degradation of pathogenic IgG.

BTL-203 also has the potential for a longer half-life than currently available therapies in the same class. Through the combined pharmacologic effects of efficient IgG clearance and prolonged systemic exposure, the program is designed to support once-every-four-weeks subcutaneous dosing, with the goal of maintaining consistent efficacy, extending dosing intervals, and improving patient convenience.

Biotle’s BTL-101 (BCMA × GPRC5D × CD3 Trispecific Antibody) Receives IND Approval in China

HANGZHOU, China — April 16, 2026 — Biotle today announced that the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China has approved an Investigational New Drug (IND) application for BTL-101, the company’s internally developed next-generation trispecific T-cell engager targeting BCMA × GPRC5D × CD3ε. BTL-101 has been cleared to enter a Phase I/II clinical trial for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).

About BTL-101

BTL-101 is a next-generation trispecific T-cell engager directed against BCMA, GPRC5D, and CD3ε, developed using Biotle’s proprietary TriME fully human anti-CD3ε antibody platform. The program is designed to combine potent anti-myeloma activity with an optimized safety and manufacturability profile.

  • Optimized CD3 affinity: Designed for fast-on / fast-off binding kinetics to support efficient tumor-cell killing while reducing the risk of T-cell exhaustion and cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
  • Natural IgG-like architecture with KiH and common light-chain design: Significantly reduces heavy/light-chain mispairing while enabling high yield (>6 g/L), high purity, and good stability.
  • Reduced FcγR binding: Minimizes non-specific immune activation and supports improved safety.
  • Activity under challenging disease conditions: In vitro, BTL-101 maintained potent cytotoxic activity in BCMA-low–expressing cells (MM.1S) and in the presence of soluble BCMA at concentrations up to 500 ng/mL, outperforming existing comparator molecules.

BTL-101 has the potential to become a best-in-class therapy in multiple myeloma. It may also offer expansion potential into autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus and immune-mediated kidney diseases, where short-course deep depletion of pathogenic plasma cells could enable immune reset and durable drug-free remission.

Competitive Landscape

In multiple myeloma, approved BCMA/CD3 bispecific antibodies such as teclistamab and GPRC5D/CD3 bispecific antibodies such as talquetamab have demonstrated meaningful clinical activity, but important challenges remain, including BCMA resistance, extramedullary disease, and cytokine release syndrome. As one of the few trispecific T-cell engagers globally to reach the clinical stage, BTL-101 is designed to address these limitations by simultaneously targeting both BCMA and GPRC5D, broadening tumor-antigen coverage, reducing the risk of antigen escape, and potentially improving efficacy in patients previously treated with BCMA-directed therapies.

With its differentiated molecular design and favorable CMC profile, BTL-101 is positioned to offer meaningful advantages in efficacy, safety, and dosing convenience, including the potential for once-every-four-weeks subcutaneous administration.

Biotle Announces Preclinical PK/PD Results for FcRn Inhibitor BTL-203; Modeling Supports Once-Every-Four-Weeks Subcutaneous Dosing in Humans

HANGZHOU, China — September 8, 2025 — Biotle today announced positive preclinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) results for BTL-203, the company’s half-life–extended neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) inhibitor. In cynomolgus monkeys, BTL-203 produced deep and sustained reductions in total IgG after single-dose intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration. Using a semi-mechanistic FcRn–IgG turnover model calibrated to these data, simulations project that subcutaneous dosing every four weeks (Q4W) could maintain clinically meaningful IgG suppression in humans.

“These encouraging data, together with our translational modeling, suggest BTL-203 could offer once‑every‑four‑weeks subcutaneous dosing—meaningfully less frequent than today’s approved FcRn regimens, which are administered in weekly cycles. We believe this convenience, alongside potent IgG lowering, positions BTL-203 as a potential best‑in‑class therapy, subject to confirmation in clinical studies.”

— Dr. Jiansong Yang, CEO of Biotle

Nonclinical Highlights

  • Robust IgG lowering vs comparator: Single IV doses of BTL-203 (60 or 30 mg/kg) achieved higher systemic exposure and deeper, more sustained total‑IgG reductions than efgartigimod IV (48.5 mg/kg) in the study; nadir decreases were ~67–69% with recovery by ~4 weeks.
  • SC administration: BTL-203 15 mg/kg SC produced total‑IgG reduction comparable to efgartigimod 48.5 mg/kg IV.
  • Translational projection: Population PK/PD modeling suggests Q4W SC dosing in humans could sustain IgG lowering within a target therapeutic window; this will be tested prospectively in clinical trials.
  • Safety & tolerability: BTL-203 was well-tolerated in cynomolgus monkeys. At 15 mg/kg SC, albumin decreases and LDL‑C changes were minimal and reversible.

Potential differentiation. Approved FcRn therapies today are delivered in weekly (SC) or biweekly (IV) treatment cycles. If confirmed clinically, a Q4W SC maintenance regimen would represent a less frequent dosing schedule for an FcRn inhibitor.

About BTL-203

BTL-203 is an FcRn inhibitor engineered for extended exposure and infrequent subcutaneous dosing. By blocking FcRn, BTL-203 accelerates IgG catabolism—a validated mechanism across multiple IgG‑mediated diseases. Biotle is advancing BTL-203 toward clinical development (planned IND submission in Q2 2026) and is engaging potential partners to accelerate global development and commercialization.
