Landos Biopharma Provides Company Update and Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

NEXUS Phase 2 Clinical Trial of NX-13 for Ulcerative Colitis Remains On Track with Top-line Results Planned for Q4 2024

Sufficient Cash to Fund Planned Operations into First Half of 2025

NEW YORK, Nov. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landos Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LABP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral medicines for patients with autoimmune diseases, today provided a business update and announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“The NX-13 Phase 2 clinical program (NEXUS) remains our top priority, and we are pleased with our execution and progress during the third quarter,” said Gregory Oakes, President and CEO of Landos. “We believe NX-13 can deliver on the potential of immunometabolism and its role in breaking the inflammatory cycle for the millions of patients suffering from moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.”

Third Quarter 2023 Clinical Development Highlights

NX-13 is a novel, gut-selective NLRX1 agonist in development as a once-daily, oral treatment for ulcerative colitis (UC).

  • NEXUS Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial:
    • The NEXUS trial of NX-13 remains on track as the Company continues to recruit, screen and randomize patients for the trial.
    • 20 sites in the United States and Europe have been activated.
    • NEXUS is a randomized, statistically powered, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose, 12-week induction study evaluating 80 patients with moderate-to-severe UC with a long-term extension (LTE) period out to one year. All subjects will be randomized to receive either a 250 mg or 750 mg immediate release dose of NX-13 or placebo. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of oral NX-13 vs. placebo (NCT05785715 ClinicalTrials.gov).
    • NEXUS top-line results are expected to be reported in the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • In September 2023, the Company announced a strategic research collaboration with the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Team at KU Leuven and University Hospitals Leuven, a leading European research university and hospital network known for its innovation in Leuven, Belgium. The goal of this collaboration is to further characterize the effects of NX-13 on epithelial cells using UC patient-derived organoid models that mimic in vivo conditions while allowing for controlled in vitro studies. The results are expected to provide additional insights regarding the impact of NX-13 on gene expression, gene regulation and cytokine responses. Results from this research collaboration are expected to be presented at appropriate medical conferences in 2024.
  • In October 2023, the Company presented additional findings from its Phase 1b study of NX-13 for the treatment of UC, including detailed results on the rapid symptomatic relief and improvement in multiple biomarkers observed in the study.
    • Presented two oral presentations and one poster at the United European Gastroenterology Week (UEGW) 2023.
    • Presented three posters at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting.

Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

  • As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $42.5 million, which it believes will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital requirements into the first half of 2025.
  • Research and development expenses were $3.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the wind down of omilancor and LABP-104 clinical trials and a reduction in NX-13 Phase 1b clinical trial costs, partially offset by initiation of the NEXUS trial. Additionally, there were increases in compensation costs, partially offset by a decrease in consulting costs.
  • General and administrative expenses were $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, compared to $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased costs in consulting and Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance.
