Scinai's Anti-IL-17A/F NanoAbs are designed to address large unmet therapeutic needs of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis patients. As previously reported, these NanoAbs showed the downregulation of psoriasis molecular markers in psoriatic human skin tested in an Ex-vivo study. Scinai is testing its anti-IL-17A/F nanoAb in a Proof of Concept in-vivo study in mice xenografted with human skin induced to express plaque psoriasis. The study is conducted by Prof. Amos Gilhar the head of the internationally renowned Skin Research Laboratory of the Israeli Technion Research Institute. Results of this study are expected in May.

In their talk, Ben-Yedidia and Schön will share information including:

  • The unmet need in the mild to moderate plaque psoriasis space
  • The clinical potential of a local therapy based on anti-IL-17A/F NanoAbs
  • Results from ex-vivo 3D biologic human skin models suggesting the therapeutic potential of Scinai's anti-IL-17A/F NanoAb
  • Use of a human xenograft model to evaluate anti-IL-17 NanoAbs as a local treatment for plaque psoriasis

The Dermatology Drug Development summit attracts key opinion leaders and innovators in the dermatology field and bills itself as a "pivotal platform aligning with rapid advancements and emerging needs across inflammatory skin disease treatments".
