Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) announced Monday September 14, 2026 positive topline results from the Phase 1b CANYON-1 trial evaluating CRB-913 (once-daily oral peripherally-restricted CB1 inverse agonist for obesity) in 254 obese non-diabetic U.S. adults across 15 sites (NCT07310901). Mean weight loss at 12 weeks: 5.0% at 60 mg (n=62), 3.3% at 40 mg (n=61), 2.8% at 20 mg (n=65) versus 0.0% on placebo (n=66) — all p<0.0001. No plateau was observed at any dose. Discontinuation rates ranged 3.1-13.1% across doses (comparable to 6.9-20.7% for oral GLP-1s in cross-trial comparison). At the 60 mg dose: nausea 22.6%, diarrhea 22.6%, constipation 4.8%, vomiting 1.6%. Psychiatric adverse events at 60 mg: depression 1.6%, anxiety 4.8%, irritability 9.7%, insomnia 0% — no serious psychiatric events or suicidality reported. CRB-913 was designed with approximately 15-fold lower brain penetration than monlunabant in preclinical models to preserve CB1-driven weight loss while limiting the psychiatric side effects that led to the 2008 withdrawal of Sanofi's Acomplia (rimonabant). CRBP shares closed up 12% on the day. Next steps: FDA clinical development plan engagement, Phase 2 monotherapy trial initiation in H1 2027, evaluation of a GLP-1 combination approach, and full data presentation at ObesityWeek 2026 (November 14-17, Washington DC).
Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) announced Friday September 11, 2026 that the company will host a conference call and webcast Monday September 14 at 8:00 a.m. EDT to discuss topline data from the Phase 1b CANYON-1 trial of CRB-913 (a once-daily orally-administered peripherally-restricted CB1 inverse agonist for obesity). The 16-week double-blind placebo-controlled dose-ranging study enrolled 240 obese non-diabetic U.S. adults at once-daily doses of 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg with 4-week safety follow-up (NCT07310901). Last patient last visit was reported August 4, 2026. Harold Bays MD (investigator) will join the call as a guest speaker. CRB-913 is designed to remain peripheral (approximately 15-fold lower brain penetration than monlunabant in preclinical models) to preserve weight-loss efficacy while limiting the psychiatric side effects that led to the 2008 withdrawal of Sanofi's Acomplia (rimonabant). The Monday readout is one of the most-watched non-incretin obesity data points on the September calendar. Clean tolerability plus dose-responsive weight loss would enable Phase 2 initiation and position CRB-913 as a differentiated add-on or alternative to the GLP-1 class.
Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) continued through Sunday September 6, 2026 the countdown to CANYON-1 Phase 1b topline data for CRB-913 (a once-daily orally-administered peripherally-restricted CB1 inverse agonist for obesity). Last patient last visit was announced August 4, 2026, and topline is expected in September 2026 per company Q2 2026 corporate update — the specific readout date has not been disclosed but the September window narrows with each passing day. The 16-week double-blind placebo-controlled dose-ranging study enrolled 240 obese non-diabetic U.S. adults at once-daily doses of 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg with 4-week safety follow-up. CRB-913 is engineered to remain peripheral (approximately 15-fold lower brain penetration than monlunabant in preclinical models) to preserve efficacy while limiting the psychiatric side effects that led to withdrawal of Sanofi's Acomplia (rimonabant) in 2008. Investor focus is on the CB1 inverse agonist class safety-versus-efficacy trade-off plus dose-responsive weight loss. Clean data enables Phase 2 initiation and would position CRB-913 as a non-incretin add-on or alternative to the GLP-1 class.

Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRBP) confirmed Tuesday September 1, 2026 that the CANYON-1 Phase 1b topline data readout for CRB-913 (a once-daily orally-administered highly peripherally-restricted CB1 inverse agonist for obesity) remains on track for September 2026, following completion of the last patient last visit announced August 4. The CANYON-1 study is a 16-week double-blind placebo-controlled dose-ranging trial in 240 obese non-diabetic U.S. adults testing once-daily oral doses of 20 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg versus placebo with dose titration and 4-week safety follow-up. CRB-913 is engineered to remain peripheral (approximately 15-fold lower brain penetration than the CB1 inverse agonist monlunabant in preclinical models) to preserve efficacy while limiting the psychiatric side effects that led to the withdrawal of Sanofi's Acomplia (rimonabant) in 2008. The mechanism is designed to complement or serve as an alternative to GLP-1 receptor agonists, and the CANYON-1 tolerability profile will determine whether Corbus advances CRB-913 into Phase 2 later in 2026.
