AMTI Applied Molecular Transport Inc

Applied Molecular Transport Inc. (Nasdaq: AMTI) (AMT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the company has completed enrollment of the Phase 2 LOMBARD trial for AMT-101 in 105 patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). AMT-101 is an investigational, once-daily, GI-selective, oral fusion of IL-10 and AMT’s proprietary carrier molecule.

“Completing enrollment in our LOMBARD trial marks an important milestone in the ongoing development of oral AMT-101 as a potential treatment for ulcerative colitis,” said Bittoo Kanwar, M.D., chief medical officer of AMT. “We look forward to reporting top-line data, including clinical remission, from the Phase 2 LOMBARD trial. We would like to thank our patients and clinical sites around the globe for participating in this trial.”

About LOMBARDLOMBARD is a Phase 2 double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial that is evaluating the safety and efficacy of orally administered AMT-101 over 12 weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe UC. The LOMBARD trial enrolled 105 patients with once-daily dosing to either AMT-101 3mg or placebo. The global trial enrolled both biologic-experienced and biologic-naïve patients in 11 countries, including the U.S., Canada and Europe.

About AMT-101AMT-101 is a novel GI-selective, oral fusion of IL-10 and AMT’s proprietary carrier molecule, currently in development in Phase 2 clinical trials for chronic pouchitis, UC and RA. AMT-101 is designed to cross the intestinal epithelial (IE) barrier with limited entry into the bloodstream, thereby focusing IL-10 at the primary site of inflammation in IBD, along the intestinal tissue lamina propria, potentially avoiding the side effects observed with systemic administration.

About Ulcerative ColitisUC is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that causes inflammation in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Symptoms may include, but are not limited to, diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stools, rectal bleeding, weight loss and fatigue. UC affects millions of people worldwide and may also profoundly impact quality of life. There remains a significant unmet need for safer and more effective oral therapies.
