PARIS --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 17.07.2024 --
Egle Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on advancing the next generation of regulatory T cell-focused therapies for oncology and auto-immunity, will deliver an oral presentation at The Promise of Interleukin-2 Therapy meeting taking place in Paris from September 4th to 7th, 2024.
The presentation, entitled “EGL-003, a novel IL-2 mutein to selectively expand and activate regulatory T cells and improve therapeutic efficacy in autoimmune disease”, will show evidence that EGL-003, a non-targeted Fc-fused IL-2 agonist mutein, selectively binds to regulatory T cells (Treg) and induces Treg IL-2 signaling.
The resulting increase of Treg frequencies was observed in vitro and in different mouse models. Accordingly, EGL-003 significantly improved clinical, macroscopic, and histological parameters in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model with expansion of tissue-resident Tregs.
EGL-003 is the first drug candidate being developed for treatment of autoimmune diseases in Egle’s pipeline and has advanced into IND-enabling studies.
Session Title: IL-2 and Treg cell therapies; Session Date and Time: Friday September 6th, 2024 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM; Location: Poster Section 4; Poster Board Number: 23 Published Abstract Number: 4079
