Antibe Therapeutics Presenting Update on ATB-346 at International Hydrogen Sulfide Conference

Business Wire
Antibe Therapeutics Inc. ("Antibe") (TSXV:ATE, OTCQX:ATBPF) will
be front-and-centre at the 4th International Conference on the
Biology of Hydrogen Sulfide, to be held in Naples, Italy from June
3rd to 5th. The company’s founder and Chief Scientific
Officer, John Wallace, and Antibe Scientific Advisor and Nobel
Prize winner Louis Ignarro, will be making podium presentations at
the conference. A distinguished collaborator, University of Naples
cancer researcher Professor Angela Ianaro, will present a lecture
on the potential for treating and preventing melanoma with hydrogen
sulfide, using drugs like ATB-346, Antibe’s most advanced clinical
candidate currently in a Phase 2 trial in osteoarthritis
patients.
Dr. Wallace’s presentation will include evidence that has been
gathered in recent months that clearly demonstrates that ATB-346
has much greater anti-inflammatory potency and duration-of-action
in humans than had been observed in animal studies. ATB-346 has
been administered to over 80 human subjects, with blood samples
collected from all. Samples have been analyzed to measure levels of
ATB-346 and its metabolites (break-down products) and to determine
the effectiveness of the drug at blocking release of chemical
mediators that produce pain and other symptoms of inflammation. Dr.
Wallace remarked “we have strong evidence that ATB-346 is on the
order of 6-times more potent than naproxen, with anti-inflammatory
effects extending for 24 hours after a single dose. These data also
provide an explanation for the signals of liver cell damage in some
subjects in our Phase 1 study, where ATB-346 was given at very high
doses and, in some cases, more than once-a-day.”
Professor Ianaro will give a lecture on “Involvement
of hydrogen sulfide pathway in human melanoma development and
progression”. Her studies have demonstrated that mice with
melanomas respond very well to treatment with ATB-346. She observed
rapid and profound reductions of tumour size and weight, and
markedly reduced tumour cell proliferation.
In Antibe’s ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of ATB-346, patients
with osteoarthritis of the knee are receiving ATB-346 once daily
over a period of 10 days. Osteoarthritis patients treated with
naproxen generally take 4 tablets per day. In the clinical trial,
ATB-346 is being administered at a dose equivalent to about
one-half a naproxen tablet per day. The main end-point in the study
is the degree of reduction of pain. The trial is on schedule, with
an anticipated completion date in Q3.
