What changed from last quarter
- New: OD-001 Phase 2a induction analyses were presented in October at UEG Week, covering 56 efficacy-evaluable patients. Source
- New: IND-enabling studies for OD-002 were completed. The prior release had planned to complete them in the second half of 2026. Source
- New: OD-004, a TSLP/IL-33 bispecific antagonist, was nominated as a development candidate and is advancing into IND-enabling studies. Source
- New: Anthony Opipari, M.D., Ph.D., was appointed chief medical officer. He joined at the company's formation. Source
- New: Laura Hare was appointed chief people officer. She will lead people strategy and organizational development. Source
- New guidance: A second-half 2027 timing for OD-002 healthy participant data was given. The prior release did not give a timing for this data. Source
OD-001 clinical data
- Additional OD-001 induction analyses presented: In October the company presented further Phase 2a induction findings at UEG Week, based on 56 efficacy-evaluable patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, with new clinical and translational analyses shared in a webcast. Source
- Efficacy backed by biomarkers and transcriptomics: Management said the clinical efficacy results are supported by concordant findings in clinical outcomes, inflammatory biomarkers, mucosal transcriptomics and histologic improvement, consistent with RIPK2 scaffolding inhibition. Source
- Next OD-001 trials and readout timing: The next stage is a Phase 2b monotherapy trial and a Phase 2a combination trial with vedolizumab, with topline induction results expected in the second half of 2027. Source
Other pipeline programs
