Key Points:
- People with IBD need additional therapeutic options as their disease progresses, said Chris Stevens, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Bacainn Therapeutics.
- In this Phase 1 study, single-dose administration of BT051 was generally safe and well-tolerated with minimal systemic exposure, while BT051 stool concentrations were significantly above the predicted efficacy range.
- Taken together, these data support the continued development of BT051 as a gut-targeted therapy for people with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.
- Bacainn Therapeutics is developing novel therapies that target the innate immune system to address uncontrolled inflammation in serious gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases.
