At the world’s leading organization for rheumatology health professionals - Olatec presented its datasets demonstrating significant clinical antiinflammatory effect and clean safety profile with oral dapansutrile in the treatment of acute gout attacks in oral and poster presentations. The acceptance of these two abstracts by American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and Association of Rheumatology Professionals (ARP) for presentations at their 2019 Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia provides further validation of the positive results in our first human Phase 2 trial of an oral NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor. About ACR/ARP: since its beginnings over 80 years ago, today, ACR draws more than 16,000 attendees from more than 100 countries to its Annual Meeting each year. (In compliance with ACR’s disclaimer requirements, this news release is being made solely by Olatec).

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.
