-Phase 1b Study in CKD Patients to begin
early 2025-
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
treatment of disease, announced today that the United States Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its investigational new
drug (IND) application for Gemini. This game changing milestone
allows the Company to initiate its US based Phase 1b clinical study
to evaluate the potential of Gemini as a preconditioning treatment
in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The multi-site, placebo-controlled Phase 1b clinical study will
enroll up to 40 subjects in up to 5 cohorts. The primary endpoint
is evaluation of the safety and tolerability of a single dose of
Gemini in patients with CKD. Secondary and exploratory endpoints
will assess the pharmacokinetics, and the potential of Gemini to
mobilize and attenuate the innate immune response to stress by
measuring several predictive biomarkers of efficacy.
Positive data from the Phase 1b study will enable a Phase 2
study of Gemini as a preconditioning treatment in patients with CKD
to reduce the incidence, duration, and severity of acute kidney
injury (AKI) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft
(CABG) and/or cardiac valve surgery.
“We are proud to receive acceptance of our IND for Gemini,
marking our most important milestone to date for Revelation,” said
James Rolke, Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. “By leveraging
the unique properties of trained immunity, we are exploring new
ways to improve patient outcomes. We will continue to move swiftly
to initiate our Phase 1b clinical study in the near future.”

About Gemini
Gemini is an intravenously administrated, proprietary
formulation of phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide (PHAD®) that
reduces the damage associated with inflammation by reprograming the
innate immune system to respond to stress (surgery, trauma,
infection, etc.) in an attenuated manner. Revelation has conducted
multiple preclinical studies demonstrating the therapeutic
potential of Gemini in the target indications. Earlier this year
Revelation announced positive Phase 1 clinical data for intravenous
treatment with Gemini. The primary safety endpoint was met in the
Phase 1 study, and results demonstrated statistically significant
pharmacodynamic activity as observed through expected changes in
multiple biomarkers including upregulation of IL-10.
Gemini is being developed for multiple indications including as
a pretreatment to prevent or reduce the severity and duration of
acute kidney injury (GEMINI-AKI program), and as pretreatment to
prevent or reduce the severity and duration of post-surgical
infection (GEMINI-PSI program). In addition, Gemini has potential
as a treatment to stop or slow the progression of chronic kidney
disease (GEMINI-CKD program).
