Corbus Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc., an emerging drug development company working on the advancement and marketing of its lead product candidate Resunab to address life-threatening and rare fibrotic and inflammatory diseases, announced recently that it will be at the 17th Annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference, presenting its latest research . The conference will be held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York on February 9 and 10, 2015.
Yuval Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Corbus Pharmaceuticals, will be presenting an overview of the clinical development projects and plans for Resunab on Monday, February 9 at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time).
Resunab is a new synthetic oral drug that displays unique anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activities, and it is being developed to treat both Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis (scleroderma). Pre-clinical and Phase 1 clinical studies demonstrated that Resunab features a very favorable safety profile and offers promising potential in the preclinical models of fibrosis and inflammation. Resunab has the ability to bind itself to the immune cells’ CB2 receptor, and it triggers the inflammatory resolution process that turns the chronic inflammation “off.” The Phase 2 clinical trials are scheduled to begin in 2015.
