Abivax

Abivax is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics that harness the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms to stabilize the immune response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. Abivax is currently evaluating its lead drug candidate, obefazimod, in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Abivax also plans to initiate a Phase 2a clinical trial of obefazimod in patients with Crohn’s disease.

Obefazimod is an investigational, orally administered, once-daily therapy, which we believe has the potential to be a differentiated treatment option for inflammatory bowel diseases. It is the first and only molecule that enhances the expression of microRNA-124 (miR-124), a natural regulator of the inflammatory response. If approved, this therapy has the potential to establish a new therapeutic class currently being referred to as miR-124 enhancers.
