Teva and Biolojic Design Initiate IND-enabling Studies of BD9, a Multibody Designed to Explore the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis and Asthma

  • BD9 is a multibody that targets IL-13 and TSLP, and has potential to treat TH-2-driven inflammatory diseases

  • BD9 designed using Biolojic’s Multibody Platform, which generates Antibodies capable of addressing multiple disease targets

  • Collaboration builds on Teva’s Pivot to Growth strategy to step up innovation in Teva’s innovative pipeline

REHOVOT, Israel and WASHINGTON and TEL AVIV, Israel, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., (NYSE and TASE:TEVA) and Biolojic Design Ltd. (“Biolojic”), a biotechnology company using computational biology and artificial intelligence to design next generation, multifunctional antibodies known as multibodies, announced today that Teva initiated IND-enabling studies with BD9, a dual-specific multibody targeting both TSLP (Thymic stromal lymphopoietin) and IL-13. Teva has an exclusive license to develop BD9 for the treatment of TH2-driven inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. 

Teva’s development of BD9 demonstrates the company’s commitment to applying cutting-edge science to address unmet medical needs. By simultaneously blocking two key drivers of TH2-driven inflammation, BD9 has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with conditions such as atopic dermatitis and asthma, where current treatments fall short. The initiation of IND-enabling studies marks a critical milestone in translating this scientific innovation into a potential therapeutic option, paving the way for clinical trials and ultimately bringing hope to underserved patient populations. This progress exemplifies Teva’s focus on advancing transformative therapies that expand access and impact through innovation.

“We’re excited to have successfully achieved another milestone in our partnership with Teva,” said Yanay Ofran, PhD, CEO and founder of Biolojic Design. “Biolojic’s next generation antibody platform has now produced four antibodies that are in, or nearing, the clinic. From the clinical data we have recently seen, it is already clear that our precision antibodies have distinct advantages over traditional antibodies, extracting better efficacy and safety from complex biological targets.”

Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva said, “With the initiation of IND-enabling studies we take a vital step toward delivering innovative treatments to patients who need them most. This pre-clinical progress underscores Teva’s commitment to accelerating innovation and to improving health outcomes and access to underserved patient populations.”

Under the terms of their agreement, Teva is developing BD9 worldwide. In exchange, Biolojic is eligible to receive milestone payments based on the achievement of certain pre-clinical, clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestones, including the initiation of IND-enabling studies.

About Biolojic Design
Biolojic Design is pioneering the use of precision antibodies, including multibodies, a next generation antibody technology in which each arm of a conventional IgG (immunoglobulin G) antibody can bind to multiple targets, enabling a multibody to address complex disease biology. Biolojic designs its multibodies using computational biology and AI, and its platform generated the first AI-designed antibody to enter the clinic, which is now in phase 2 clinical trials. The company’s pipeline focuses on autoimmune diseases and oncology, unlocking validated pathways that address large unmet needs. It is progressing its own pipeline, and has partnerships with several leading biopharmaceutical companies to enhance its ability to bring important new medicines to patients.
