Dr. Plews will speak as part of the session titled “Hot Topic: Metabolism”, where invited panelists will discuss the current gaps in obesity knowledge and technology, and emerging solutions. Dr. Plews will be presenting Elevai Biosciences’ engineered probiotic approach for muscle loss prevention in combination with one or more GLP-1 receptor agonists in obesity.
“Myostatin is being tested in combination with GLP-1 drugs as it’s demonstrated to be a clinically validated target with potential in muscle mass and strength building," said Dr. Jordan R. Plews, PhD Chief Executive Officer of Elevai. "I’m excited to share with the scientific and investment community at LA-BEST why we believe that our lead clinical candidate EL-22 offers a differentiated, oral approach as compared to other myostatin strategies being tested in obesity. Our approach induces mucosal immunity through the body’s own anti-myostatin antibodies, which could have an important role in addressing the unmet medical need of obese patients, who need to preserve muscle while losing weight.”
