ONVO - Organovo To Present FXR314 IBD 3D Model Findings at Upcoming Crohn's and Colitis Congress | Benzinga
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Organovo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ONVO), a clinical stage biotechnology company that is focused on developing FXR314 in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC), based on demonstration of clinical promise in three-dimensional (3D) human tissues as well as strong preclinical data, today announced that its data on the activity of FXR314 in its proprietary 3D human tissue models of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis will be presented at the Crohn's and Colitis Congress to be held January 25-27, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The invited oral presentation, entitled "Evaluation of the clinical stage FXR agonist FXR314 in human primary cell 3D models of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis", will be made on Friday, January 26, 2024 at 3:00 PM PST by Dr. Fabrice Piu, Vice President, Research & Development.
"We initially identified a strong benefit of FXR agonism in IBD using our internal 3D models, then moved towards development of what we believe to be a best-in-class FXR agonist, FXR314, to treat IBD," said Keith Murphy, Organovo's Executive Chairman. "Our 3D human tissue models rely on primary cells isolated from individual donors with disease, and we believe our findings ...
