SynAct Pharma AB (“SynAct”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on resolving inflammation through selective activation of the melanocortin system, today announced that an abstract for resomelagon (AP1189) has been selected for presentation at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024 conference, being held in Washington DC, USA, from November 14 to 19.
At the conference SynAct Pharma will present clinical data from the Phase 2b EXPAND study with focus on the treatment potential of resomelagon (AP1189) in newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis patients with high disease activity and signs of active inflammation.
“We look very much forward to presenting the EXPAND-study clinical data at the ACR Convergence 2024, the world's premier rheumatology event,” said SynAct’s CSO Thomas Jonassen. “The development of resomelagon (AP1189) in the patient population is continued in the Phase 2b ADVANCE study.”
Resomelagon is a novel, once-daily tablet with anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects with the potential to treat active rheumatoid arthritis.
Further information related to the accepted abstract will, due to embargo policies, be shared at a later timepoint when the abstract is published in a special online supplement of the scientific journal Arthritis & Rheumatology.
