Immune Pharmaceuticals

Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: IMNP) is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of immunologic and inflammatory diseases. Immune’s lead program, bertilimumab, is a first-in-class, fully human monoclonal antibody that targets and lowers levels of eotaxin-1, a chemokine that plays a role in immune responses and attracts eosinophils to the site of inflammation. By neutralizing eotaxin-1, bertilimumab may prevent the migration of eosinophils and other cells, thus helping to relieve associated inflammatory conditions. Currently, Immune is conducting two phase 2 clinical trials to test bertilimumab in patients suffering from bullous pemphigoid and ulcerative colitis, respectively. Bertilimumab may have application in other indications, including atopic dermatitis, asthma, and other diseases. Immune is also developing NanoCyclo, a topical formulation of cyclosporine, for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, which is currently in late-stage preclinical testing.
