About Immunic, Inc.
Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a
biotechnology company developing a clinical pipeline of orally
administered, small molecule therapies for chronic inflammatory and
autoimmune diseases. The company's lead development program,
vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 and phase 2
clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing and progressive
multiple sclerosis, respectively, and has shown therapeutic
activity in phase 2 clinical trials in patients suffering from
relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple
sclerosis and moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. Vidofludimus
calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as
a first-in-class nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with
additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively
inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH).
IMU-856, which targets the protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), is intended
to restore intestinal barrier function and regenerate bowel
epithelium, which could potentially be applicable in numerous
gastrointestinal diseases, such as celiac disease, where it is
currently in preparations for a phase 2 clinical trial. IMU-381,
which currently is in preclinical testing, is a next generation
molecule being developed to specifically address the needs of
gastrointestinal diseases. For further information, please visit:
