Landos Biopharma to Present New Data on Immunometabolism at the 19th Annual Congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation

Six Presentations Highlight Landos’ Leadership in Targeting Immunometabolic Pathways as Novel Treatments for Autoimmune Diseases with Focus on Ulcerative Colitis

NEW YORK, Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landos Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LABP) (“Landos” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral medicines for patients with autoimmune diseases, today announced that six abstracts were accepted for poster presentation at the 19th Annual Congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO). The abstracts highlight new and additional data on immunometabolism modulation by activating NLRX1 and PLXDC2 with novel agonists such as NX-13 and LABP-69. The ECCO congress will take place February 21-24, 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden.

“Immunometabolic targets work to restrict entry into the inflammatory cascade to restore and maintain homeostasis and are poised to be the next frontier in treating autoimmune diseases. We are excited to present data from multiple studies including the impact of NX-13 on eosinophil infiltration and visceral hypersensitivity, as well as confirming its relevancy in multiple models and species. Additionally, we are pleased to share new preclinical insights into the potential role of PLXDC2 in ulcerative colitis,“ said Fabio Cataldi, M.D., Executive Vice-President & Chief Medical Officer at Landos. “The broad range of innovative research by our scientists and esteemed collaborators underscores our commitment to leveraging immunometabolism to create safer and more effective treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly in ulcerative colitis.”

Landos has two novel targets anchoring libraries of immunometabolic modulation pathways, including four potentially first-in-class, once-daily, oral therapies targeting eight indications, including the clinical stage program NX-13 for ulcerative colitis (UC).
