Revelation Biosciences Has Completed Dosing of its First in Human Phase 1 Clinical Study of Gemini
June 13 2024 - 9:21AM
Business Wire
-Top-line data forthcoming-
Revelation Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: REVB) (the “Company” or
“Revelation”), a clinical-stage life sciences company that is
focused on harnessing the power of trained immunity for the
prevention and treatment of disease, announced today that it has
completed enrollment and dosing of its first in human Phase 1
clinical study (RVL-HV02). The study, which was conducted in
Australia, evaluated escalating doses of intravenously administered
Gemini and enrolled 40 healthy individuals 18 to 55 years of age.
The forthcoming top-line data will include primary end points of
safety and tolerability along with exploratory endpoints including
multiple biomarkers of activity to demonstrate stimulation of the
innate immune response. If positive, the data from this Phase 1
clinical study will support future program development of Gemini
across multiple indications.
Gemini is the Company’s proprietary formulation of
phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®), a toll-like receptor
4 (TLR4) agonist. TLR4 stimulation with PHAD potentially
preconditions the innate immune system to respond to a subsequent
stress, such as ischemia (loss of blood flow) or bacterial
infection. Gemini is initially being developed for two target
indications: as a pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity of
acute kidney injury (AKI) due to cardiac surgery and as a
pretreatment to reduce the incidence, duration, and severity of
post-surgical infection. Preclinical studies using models of AKI
have demonstrated pretreatment with Gemini can reduce the severity
and duration of AKI. Additionally, preclinical studies using models
of bacterial infection have demonstrated pretreatment with PHAD can
reduce the overall rate and severity of infection.
“We are grateful to our investigator and the participants who
enrolled in this study,” said James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer
of Revelation. “Completion of our Phase 1 enrollment is a
significant milestone for the advancement of Gemini to address
multiple critical unmet needs, and we are looking forward to
announcing the forthcoming topline safety and activity data
soon.”

About Gemini
Gemini is a proprietary formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl
disaccharide (PHAD®) for systemic administration. It is being
developed for multiple indications including as a pretreatment to
prevent or reduce the severity and duration of post-surgical
infection (GEMINI-PSI program), as pretreatment to prevent or
reduce the severity and duration of acute kidney injury (GEMINI-AKI
program). In addition, Gemini may be a treatment to stop or slow
the progression of chronic kidney disease (GEMINI-CKD program).
Revelation believes Gemini works through trained immunity, which
redirects and attenuates the innate immune response to external
stress (infection, trauma, etc.). Revelation has conducted multiple
preclinical studies demonstrating the therapeutic potential of
Gemini in the target indications.
