One of the world’s premier societies of cardiology, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), accepted the abstract, “Safety of a novel oral NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, dapansutrile (OLT1177), in patients with stable heart failure with reduced ejection fraction” as a virtual poster at ESC’s 2020 Congress.
Olatec's poster presents the positive results of our Phase 1b Heart Failure Study, in which Dr. Antonio Abbate, leading cardiologist at Virginia Commonwealth University, was the Principal Investigator on the study. In his assessment of the study outcome, Dr. Abbate states, “We are all enthusiastic about the continued development of dapansutrile in cardiovascular disease and its clean safety profile. Dapansutrile's findings provide preliminary safety evidence and data for NLRP3 inhibition in patients who are expected to poorly tolerate side effects of NSAIDs or glucocorticoids."

Olatec’s fourth peer-reviewed publication and first publication on the benefits of dapansutrile in preclinical models of neurodegenerative disease, specifically in multiple sclerosis (MS), published in Frontiers Immunology. In this publication, “OLT1177 (dapansutrile), a selective NLRP3 inhibitor, ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis pathogenesis,” we show that oral treatment of dapansutrile – an NLRP3 inhibitor – delays and reduces disease progression in a mouse model of MS. These data provide justification of the potential clinical benefit of dapansutrile in MS patients. Frontiers Immunology ranks as the 5th most-cited publisher among the 20 largest publishers in 2019.
