Gubra collaboration partner Hemab to present preclinical results for HMB-003, a potential treatment for multiple bleeding disorders, at the ISTH 2026 Congress

Copenhagen, July 10, 2026: Gubra’s collaboration partner Hemab will present preclinical results from the HMB-003 program on July 11, 2026, at the ISTH Congress in Paris.

• The preclinical data show that HMB-003 has potential as a novel antifibrinolytic treatment across multiple bleeding conditions, including heavy menstrual bleeding.
• HMB-003, a novel long-acting peptide that inhibits plasmin, was developed under the collaboration agreement between Hemab and Gubra.
• Hemab has announced plans to initiate first-in-human studies of HMB-003 in the second half of 2026 and is preparing for clinical studies in heavy menstrual bleeding in 2027.

“We are excited to see another program discovered through our streaMLine peptide discovery platform continue to advance toward the clinic," said Louise S. Dalbøge, Chief Science Officer at Gubra. "HMB-003 demonstrates the ability of our platform to generate differentiated peptide drug candidates across a broad range of disease areas, and we look forward to following its continued development."

HMB-003 was developed as a long-acting peptide that directly inhibits plasmin at its active site, providing antifibrinolytic activity independent of the plasminogen activation pathway. Plasmin is a proven therapeutic target in coagulation medicine and central to bleeding in several conditions.

The presented preclinical data show that HMB-003 inhibited fibrinolysis with greater potency than current standard of care tranexamic acid (TXA) in a human whole-blood flow model. HMB-003 also demonstrated long half-life in preclinical models, supporting infrequent dosing with potential across multiple high-unmet-need conditions.

About HMB-003
HMB-003 is a subcutaneously administered peptide-based plasmin inhibitor with a durable half-life — a proven therapeutic target in coagulation medicine — being developed as a novel antifibrinolytic designed to reduce bleeding across multiple settings. Engineered to directly inhibit plasmin at its active site, HMB-003 blocks fibrinolysis independently of the plasminogen activation pathway. HMB-003 is optimized to provide sustained bleed protection across multiple high-unmet-need conditions, ranging from heavy menstrual bleeding and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia to peri-operative bleeding management.

In 2023, Gubra and Hemab Therapeutics entered into a collaboration agreement to develop a novel peptide drug candidate. The project combines Gubra’s streaMLine platform with Hemab’s expertise in drug discovery within bleeding disorders. HMB-003 was developed under this collaboration agreement. Hemab is responsible for development and commercialization of HMB-003.
