Chemomab Therapeutics Presents New Data Highlighting Clinical Potential Of Its Nebokitug In Systemic Sclerosis At CORA 2025 Conference

Adds to Extensive Preclinical and Early Clinical Evidence that Nebokitug Interferes with Key Features 

of Systemic Sclerosis

 

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chemomab Therapeutics, Ltd. (NASDAQ:CMMB), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need, today announced a new scientific presentation that further confirms the potential of nebokitug (CM-101) as a novel treatment for systemic sclerosis (SSc).1 The data will be presented at the 8th International Congress on Controversies in Rheumatology and Autoimmunity (CORA 2025) on March 8, 2025, in Venice, Italy.

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by microvascular injury and extensive tissue fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. It is the most lethal of the systemic connective tissue diseases and lacks approved disease-modifying therapies. Nebokitug is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody that blocks the soluble protein CCL24, which has been shown to be a key driver of the pathways underlying fibro-inflammatory conditions such as SSc and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). In extensive preclinical studies, blocking CCL24 reduced the inflammatory and fibrotic injury to the lung, skin and vasculature that are hallmarks of SSc pathology. An investigator-sponsored study showed that treatment with nebokitug induced strong and rapid reductions in inflammatory biomarkers in patients with acute lung Injury, a relevant model for the type of lung damage seen in SSc patients.
