MENLO PARK, Calif., June 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alladapt Immunotherapeutics, Inc., a private, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing prescription therapeutics to address IgE-mediated food allergy, today announced topline results from the Phase 1/2 Harmony study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ADP101 for the treatment of food allergy. The findings—which demonstrated dose-dependent, clinically meaningful responses, and a favorable safety and tolerability profile in pediatric patients with mono- and multi-food allergies—were presented in an oral session and a flash talk at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Hybrid Congress June 9-11, 2023 in Hamburg, Germany.

Key Points: 
  • With this milestone, we are one step closer to our goal of delivering a pharmaceutical-grade, broadly applicable OIT to patients and providers.
  • The multiple allergen desensitization trends were broadly observed across foods and occurred in individual patients across unrelated food groups.
  • Epinephrine was primarily used for mild or moderate events and usage occurred with decreased frequency in the maintenance phase.
  • Food allergy is a largely invisible, chronic disease that places a severe immunological and psychological burden on patients and their families.

Saturday, June 10, 2023

HAMPTON, N.J., June 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLDX) announced today that updated data from the Company’s Phase 1b multi-dose clinical trial in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and new data from the Phase 1b single-dose cholinergic cohort included in the chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) trial were presented at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Annual Congress 2023. Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity, which is required for the function and survival of mast cells. Data continue to support that mast cell depletion by barzolvolimab, as demonstrated by tryptase suppression, parallels symptom improvement.

Key Points: 
  • Data continue to support that mast cell depletion by barzolvolimab, as demonstrated by tryptase suppression, parallels symptom improvement.
  • In cholinergic urticaria, barzolvolimab again demonstrated remarkable response rates and impressive improvements in quality of life in this tough to treat form of inducible urticaria."
  • Celldex previously presented interim Phase 1b CSU data at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) Annual Meeting 2023.
  • At EAACI 2023, Celldex presented data on the complete 24 week experience for the 4.5 mg/kg cohort and data on angioedema impact across all study cohorts.
