The oral presentation will include new GI functional data sub-cuts from the highly statistically significant Phase 2 clinical study (NCT05056935) demonstrating LB1148 significantly accelerated the return of post-operative GI function in patients undergoing elective bowel resection. The data sub-cuts are based on laparoscopy and laparotomy with surgical characteristics including, right hemicolectomy, left hemicolectomy, sigmoid and low anterior resection (LAR) surgery. These patient groups are being included for presentation as they represent key patient populations being enrolled in the ongoing Phase 3 clinical study of LB1148 to accelerate the return of post-operative GI function in patients undergoing elective bowel resection.

About Palisade Bio 

Palisade Bio is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics that protect the integrity of the intestinal barrier. The Company utilizes over three decades of research and established science that links the role of intestinal barrier biology and human disease to develop novel therapeutics that target and improve the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

The Company’s lead program, LB1148, is a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor which acts to neutralize digestive enzymes, potentially reducing intestinal damage. In multiple clinical studies, LB1148 has demonstrated positive results in accelerating the time to return of postoperative bowel function, and the Company recently presented analysis that LB1148 reduced the incidence and severity of post-surgical abdominal adhesions. LB1148 is currently being evaluated in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study for accelerating the return of postoperative bowel function and in a Phase 2 study for the prevention of post-surgical abdominal adhesions.

The Company believes that addressing the disruption of the intestinal barrier has the potential to fundamentally change the way diseases are treated and to establish new standards of patient care. For more information, please go to www.palisadebio.com.
