Palisade starts Phase 3 gastrointestinal trial

 Palisade Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALI) (“Palisade” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company advancing therapies for acute and chronic gastrointestinal (GI) complications, announced today that its development partner Newsoara Biopharma Co. Ltd, has enrolled the first patient in its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial in China. The trial is being fully conducted and funded by Newsoara.

“The start of patient enrollment marks an important milestone for our partner Newsoara’s advancement of its Phase 3 LB1148 study in China. We continue to be encouraged by the potential of LB1148 to protect gastrointestinal integrity in surgery patients and look forward to the forthcoming data readout from Newsoara’s study,” commented J.D. Finley, CEO of Palisade Bio.

LB1148 is a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor which acts to neutralize digestive enzymes, potentially reducing intestinal damage. The Phase 3 trial being conducted in China is designed as a multi-centered, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled clinical trial, and will assess the safety and efficacy of LB1148 to accelerate the return of bowel function following abdominal surgery. All patients enrolled in the trial will undergo a scheduled bowel resection surgery that will include either laparotomy or laparoscopic surgical approaches.
