TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: CMMB), (Chemomab), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.
“In the second quarter of 2025 Chemomab continued to lay the groundwork for the nebokitug Phase 3 program in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and to progress discussions with potential strategic collaborators. Our goal is to secure the right partner to optimize development resources, accelerate the Phase 3 launch and maximize the commercial potential of nebokitug as the first approved disease-modifying therapy for this devastating disease with enormous unmet medical need,” said Adi Mor, PhD, co-founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Chemomab. “During the quarter, we submitted our nebokitug Phase 3 protocol to the FDA and look forward to receiving their response soon. We are also engaging in a similar process with the European Medicines Agency, as we plan for a global Phase 3 trial that will include many sites in the E.U. and anticipate that the Phase 3 protocol agreed with the FDA would also support regulatory approvals in Europe. During the quarter we also aligned with the FDA on two additional requirements for the eventual regulatory approval of nebokitug—the CMC standards needed for manufacturing of drug supply for the “to be marketed” formulation as well as the timing of required nonclinical toxicology testing. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA as we finalize the details of the Phase 3 development program.”
Dr. Mor added, “As disclosed previously, we are planning to advance the nebokitug PSC Phase 3 program in collaboration with a strategic partner and we continue in active discussions with a variety of potential partners on multiple possible paths forward. A number of developments during the quarter supported these discussions. Enlarging the scope of our patent protections is relevant for partnerships, and we were pleased to report adding to our existing large and comprehensive intellectual property portfolio with new nebokitug patents in China and Russia, two significant territories for future commercialization. We also presented SPRING trial data at a number of high profile scientific meetings, further raising awareness of nebokitug’s demonstrated potential as a groundbreaking treatment for PSC.”
Dr. Mor concluded, “In parallel to the ongoing activities, we are assessing a number of near-term value-creating initiatives with the potential to accelerate the Phase 3 program and strengthen its probability of success. We anticipate sharing more information about these activities in the coming months.”
Separately, Chemomab plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") to its ordinary shares (the "ADS Ratio"), from the current ADS Ratio of one ADS to 20 ordinary shares to a new ADS Ratio of one ADS to 80 ordinary shares, effective on August 26, 2025. Chemomab will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker "CMMB," with an updated CUSIP Number of 16385C104. This ratio adjustment will essentially serve as a one-for-four reverse split for ADS holders and requires no action on their part. The Bank of New York Mellon, the depositary bank for Chemomab’s ADS program, will arrange for the exchange on the effective date. There will be no issuance of new ADSs in connection with the adjustment.

About Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.Chemomab is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need. Based on the unique role of the soluble protein CCL24 in promoting fibrosis and inflammation, Chemomab developed nebokitug (CM-101), a first-in-class dual activity monoclonal antibody that neutralizes CCL24 and has demonstrated disease-modifying potential. In clinical and preclinical studies, nebokitug has been shown to have a favorable safety profile and has been generally well-tolerated, with the potential to treat multiple severe and life-threatening fibro-inflammatory diseases. Chemomab has reported positive results from four clinical trials of nebokitug in patients. Based on positive data from its Phase 2 SPRING trial in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), the company is preparing for potential initiation of a nebokitug PSC Phase 3 trial. The design of Phase 3 calls for a single pivotal trial based on a clinical event primary endpoint that provides a clear and streamlined pathway to potential full regulatory approval. Nebokitug has received FDA and EMA Orphan Drug and FDA Fast Track designations for the treatment of PSC. Chemomab’s nebokitug program for the treatment of systemic sclerosis has an open U.S. IND.
