In the presentation, Dr. Vermiere presented patient data confirming a significant relationship between drug levels in tissue and endoscopic improvement in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who were treated with tofacitinib.

Key Points: 
  • In the presentation, Dr. Vermiere presented patient data confirming a significant relationship between drug levels in tissue and endoscopic improvement in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who were treated with tofacitinib.
  • This study supports the hypothesis that a tissue concentration of tofacitinib at or exceeding IC90 is directly correlated to significant improvement in patient outcomes, Adi Mohanty, Chief Executive Officer of Biora Therapeutics.
  • Our targeted delivery platform is uniquely positioned to be able to safely deliver the desired amount of drug to the diseased tissue in UC.
  • We recently also shared data about the potential importance of combination therapy for the UC patient community.
