A recent study from researchers at Hunter College finds promising new therapeutic potential in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease for omilancor, our lead product candidate for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Omilancor is a once-daily, oral, best- and first-in-class therapy in Phase 3 clinical development for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Phase 2 for Crohn’s disease (CD), with multiple I&I indications in progress. By activating the LANCL2 pathway, a novel immunometabolic mechanism of action, omilancor is designed to create a favorable regulatory microenvironment in the gut, enhancing regulatory T cell function (Treg) and decreasing the production of key inflammatory mediators while reprogramming metabolism. New scientific findings now highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting LANCL2 to improve cognitive behavior and reduce Aβ plaques and neuronal loss, especially in Alzheimer’s patients. Preprint data and a recent dissertation by Emily Birnbaum suggest multiple mechanisms by which LANCL2 activation by omilancor could improve cognition and reduce Alzheimer’s pathology. These findings further validate similar results from The NIMML Institute’s TITAN-X platform, which suggest LANCL2 as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease.

We're thrilled to be featured in the latest issue of Valley Business FRONT, Virginia's Blue Ridge Business Journal! Our CEO, Dr. Josep B., shared insights into NImmune Biopharma, Inc's role in the "scientific innovation ecosystem" we've built in Blacksburg. As part of Virginia’s BioHealth innovation ecosystem, we're proud to be at the forefront of scientific and clinical advances in inflammation and immunology by identifying novel targets and creating the next wave of best-in-class and first-in-class drugs for patients with unmet clinical needs. At NImmune BioPharma, we're committed to improving patients' lives in the US and worldwide through groundbreaking R&D. We're excited about the potential to transform drug development by using advanced A.I. algorithms and computational models of the immune system, such as TITAN-X, to characterize novel mechanisms of action and to develop safer and more effective drugs. Read the full article in November’s issue of Valley Business FRONT to learn more about our journey and the impact we're making in the global biotech industry: https://lnkd.in/gV_Sdnaf For more on the TITAN-X advanced A.I. platform, we encourage you to read our recent release: https://lnkd.in/gP7xsKFw #Immunology #DrugDevelopment #Biotech #Innovation

On October 21, NImmune Biopharma, Inc acquired development and commercialization rights for omilancor in Asia. Upon closing, we will wholly own global rights to omilancor. This transaction is highly shareholder value accretive, enabling the acceleration of patient enrollment in the global registration directed Phase 3 program in ulcerative colitis, the Phase 2 program in Crohn’s disease, and additional I&I indications. The timing of this transaction could not be more ideal as we initiate the global registration directed Phase 3 program with patient enrollment centers in the U.S., Asia, Europe, Latin America and MENA. Published final and complete Phase 2 data validate the novel LANCL2 mechanism of action (MoA) in IBD and position omilancor as best-in-class therapeutic for UC in a once daily oral and unrivaled safety and tolerability profile.

We are thrilled to announce the discovery of a new immunometabolic mechanism of action by which LANCL2 activation provides protection from inflammatory and autoimmune disease detailed in recent research published in the Journal of Immunology. In partnership with The NIMML Institute, we have discovered a new mechanism of LANCL2 activation in phagocytes that combines with established actions of LANCL2 in Tregs and provides immunometabolic control of and therapeutic efficacy in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The research validates the role of NIM-1324 as the first LANCL2 drug with therapeutic efficacy in systemic inflammation in three mouse models of lupus to support immune tolerance. The activation of LANCL2 by NIM-1324 reduces nuclear antigen reactivity, autoantibody protection, and kidney histopathological scores in SLE. These findings not only deepen our understanding of SLE pathogenesis but also further de-risk the continued clinical development of NIM-1324 for lupus patients. At NImmune Biopharma, Inc, we're committed to advancing I&I precision medicines by developing first-in-class, biomarker-driven therapeutics that address unmet clinical needs in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. A big thank you to our dedicated teams and collaborators who made this breakthrough possible. Together, we're one step closer to delivering novel therapeutic options that could significantly improve patient outcomes.
