Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a biotechnology
company developing a clinical pipeline of orally administered, small molecule therapies for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
The Company's lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing
multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available end of 2026. It has already shown therapeutic activity in phase
2 clinical trials in patients suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and progressive multiple sclerosis. Vidofludimus calcium
combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional
anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). IMU-856, which targets
the protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), is intended to restore intestinal barrier function and regenerate bowel epithelium, which could potentially
be applicable in numerous gastrointestinal diseases, such as celiac disease as well as inflammatory bowel disease, Graft-versus-Host-Disease
and weight management. IMU-381, which currently is in preclinical testing, is a next generation molecule being developed to specifically
address the needs of gastrointestinal diseases.
