Presenting proof-of-mechanism clinical trial data in healthy volunteers of RLS-0071, the Company’s dual action complement inhibitor and innate anti-inflammatory product candidate

ReAlta Life Sciences (“ReAlta”), Inc., a clinical-stage biotech company addressing life-threatening rare diseases through harnessing the power of the immune system, today announced that it will be presenting additional clinical data from its Phase 1b trial in healthy volunteers on RLS-0071 at the European Respiratory Society 2023 International Congress taking place in Milan, Italy on 9-13 September, 2023. RLS-0071, the Company’s complement inhibitor and innate anti-inflammatory product candidate, is being developed as a treatment for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and other acute inflammatory and rare diseases.

The Phase 1b clinical trial (Protocol RLS-0071-103; NCT05351671) is a proof-of-mechanism (POM) study intended to establish RLS-0071 translatability from animal disease models of acute lung injury and other acute pulmonary exacerbations to humans by inhibiting neutrophil-mediated inflammation at the tissue level. The new data will be presented by Prof. Dr. Jens M. Hohlfeld, Division Director of Airway Research at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine (Hannover, Germany) and lead investigator on the Phase 1b trial.
