Enthera Pharmaceuticals Will Present Preclinical Data on Ent001, an Anti-TMEM219 Antibody in Development For The Treatment Of Ulcerative Colitis at The European Crohn’s And Colitis Organization 2024 Annual Meeting

Enthera Pharmaceuticals (“Enthera”), a clinical-stage biotech company developing first-in-class antibody therapeutics targeting the Insulin Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP) family for selected inflammatory diseases, confirms its attendance at the European Crohn´s and Colitis Organization – ECCO’24 (ecco-ibd.eu) Conference, scheduled to take place in Stockholm from February 21st to 24th.

Enthera will be presenting new preclinical data demonstrating mucosal healing of the GI tract following treatment with our first-in-class anti-TMEM219 monoclonal antibody, Ent001.

Enthera will be participating in the guided poster session on Friday, the 23rd of February, where our poster (P171) entitled “Rescuing Intestinal Stem Cells via TMEM219 inhibition promotes mucosal healing in Crohn’s disease” will be showcased.

“We are pleased to share the compelling preclinical data with Ent001 in the DSS colitis model that demonstrates significant mucosal healing with both prophylactic and therapeutic dosing regimens. Ent001 offers a potenfial new treatment option for inflammatory bowel disease and is currently being studied in a multiple ascending dose study in ulcerative colitis” said Lisa M. Olson, CEO.

About Enthera Pharmaceuticals
