CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palisade Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALI), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company advancing therapies for acute and chronic gastrointestinal (GI) complications, today announced that Tom Hallam, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Michael Dawson, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Palisade Bio will present at the Virtual Investor Innovations in Intestinal Health - Launching a Pivotal Phase 3 Study for Return of Postoperative Bowel Function Event on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 11:00 AM ET.
As part of the virtual event, the company will discuss its recently launched pivotal Phase 3 study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of LB1148 for postoperative return of bowel function. The Phase 3 study is designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial set to enroll approximately 600 patients. The primary endpoint is time to recovery of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract following surgery, defined as the time from the end of surgery to the toleration of food and first bowel movement. All patients enrolled in the study will undergo a scheduled bowel resection surgery that will include either laparotomy or minimally invasive surgical approaches. The clinical study will utilize the same dosing of LB1148 used in the company’s completed Phase 2 study in which LB1148 demonstrated a 1.1-day improvement in return of bowel function.
In addition to the moderated portion of the event, investors and interested parties will have the opportunity to submit questions. The company will answer as many questions as possible during the event.
A live video webcast of the Virtual Investor Innovations in Intestinal Health - Launching a Pivotal Phase 3 Study for Return of Postoperative Bowel Function Event will be available in the Latest Events and Presentations section of the Investor page of Palisade Bio website (palisadebio.com). A webcast replay will be available two hours following the live presentation and will be accessible for 90 days.
About LB1148
LB1148 is an oral formulation of a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor designed to neutralize the activity of potent digestive proteases released from the gut during surgery. Evidence suggests that the release of digestive proteases contributes to the temporary loss of normal gastrointestinal function and the formation of postoperative adhesions. By inhibiting the activity of these digestive proteases, LB1148 has the potential to prevent damage to GI tissues, accelerate the time to the return of normal GI function, and shorten the duration of costly post-surgery hospital stays.
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 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.
