August 15 2023 - 8:05AM
Immune Therapeutics, Inc. d/b/a Biostax Corp. (OTC Pink: IMUN)
("Biostax"), a hub-and-spoke biotech development engine, announces
that they have accepted the transfer of three Investigational New
Drug Applications (IND) for the drug candidate, JKB-122 and the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has finalized those
transfers. The INDs that were transferred to Biostax include IND
146955 for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and
fibrosis, IND 147347 for the treatment of Nonalcoholic Liver
Disease (NAFLD) and IND 127303 for the treatment of Autoimmune
Hepatitis along with the Orphan Designation for Autoimmune
Hepatitis. These INDs were transferred from TaiwanJ
Pharmaceuticals, who licensed the development and commercialization
of JKB-122 to Biostax Corp in 2022.
JKB-122 is a small molecule and a long-acting TLR4 antagonist
that has been shown to play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of
certain autoimmune and inflammatory conditions including the
treatments of chronic liver diseases such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty
Liver Disease (NAFLD), Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), and
Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
“As we continue to build out and diversify our development
pipeline, which has a focus on immunology and nephrology, we are
excited to complete this milestone," said Kelly Wilson, President
of Biostax. "This transaction is transformational for Biostax as it
allows us to support a balanced pipeline and advance innovative
therapeutic solutions that help people living with autoimmune
diseases and chronic illness.”
