Biotle’s Next-Generation Long-Acting FcRn Inhibitor BTL-203 Receives Clinical Trial Approval from China CDE
HANGZHOU, China — May 22, 2026 — Biotle today announced that it has received a Clinical Trial Notice from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the Investigational New Drug (IND) application of BTL-203, the company’s bispecific FcRn inhibitor. BTL-203 is being developed for the treatment of multiple autoimmune diseases.
“We are very pleased that the IND application for BTL-203 has been approved in China. This is an important milestone for Biotle in autoimmune diseases and marks the entry of our second innovative program into clinical development, reflecting the company’s growing capabilities in bispecific and trispecific antibody therapeutics. We will accelerate the clinical development of BTL-203 and strive to bring a more convenient treatment option to patients with autoimmune diseases as soon as possible.”
— Dr. Jiansong Yang, Founder and CEO of Biotle
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.
