Welcome to our dedicated page for Eledon Pharmaceuticals news (Ticker: ELDN), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Eledon Pharmaceuticals stock.
Eledon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELDN) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing immune-modulating therapies for life-threatening conditions. The company's main focus lies in targeting the CD40L pathway, aiming to provide novel treatments for organ and cellular transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative conditions.
At the core of Eledon's research is tegoprubart, a humanized IgG1 anti-CD40L antibody. Tegoprubart shows high affinity for CD40 Ligand (CD40L), a crucial biological target involved in generating pro-inflammatory responses in autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection, and neuroinflammation. The CD40/CD40L pathway is essential in both adaptive and innate immune responses, making it a prime target for non-lymphocyte depleting therapeutic interventions.
In 2023, Eledon achieved significant milestones, including presenting initial clinical evidence of tegoprubart's potential to prevent organ rejection while maintaining robust kidney function and a favorable safety profile. The company also played a pivotal role in the second-ever genetically modified heart transplant from a pig to a human, using tegoprubart as a key immunosuppressive component.
Looking forward to 2024, Eledon is committed to advancing its clinical programs. Key initiatives include ongoing development in kidney allograft transplantation, xenotransplantation, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The firm has several pivotal studies underway, including a Phase 1b trial for kidney transplantation, a long-term safety and efficacy extension study, and the Phase 2 BESTOW trial comparing tegoprubart to tacrolimus in kidney transplant patients.
Financially, Eledon reported a net loss of $40.3 million for 2023, slightly improved compared to the previous year's $88.0 million, which included a significant non-cash goodwill impairment charge. The firm's research and development expenses increased to $30.3 million, underscoring its commitment to advancing its clinical pipeline.
Eledon Pharmaceuticals is headquartered in Irvine, California, and continually seeks to build on its deep historical knowledge of anti-CD40L biology to develop groundbreaking therapies. For more information, visit www.eledon.com.

Eledon Pharmaceuticals presented updated data from its ongoing Phase 1b trial of tegoprubart for preventing organ rejection in kidney transplant patients at the American Transplant Congress.
The study involved 13 participants and demonstrated a consistent mean eGFR of 70.5 mL/min/1.73m² at all reported time points post-transplant. Notably, two participants had mean eGFRs above 90 mL/min/1.73m² at 12 months post-transplant.
Tegoprubart was generally well tolerated, with no cases of hyperglycemia, new onset diabetes, or tremor, commonly seen with current calcineurin inhibitor-based treatments. Three participants discontinued the study due to adverse effects, including hair loss, viral infection, and rejection.
Eledon is also running a Phase 2 BESTOW trial with expected enrollment completion by year-end 2024.
