Preclinical study anticipated to be published in 1H 2025 documenting combination’s additive and/or synergistic anti-inflammatory signal;
Company will seek to advance asset in neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases through the next stages alongside a strategic partner
HOUSTON, TX, USA I January 21, 2025 I Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: COYA) (“Coya” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing biologics intended to enhance regulatory T cell (Treg) function, announces the expansion of its investigational pipeline and advancement of COYA 303 for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Sustained inflammatory responses driven by dysfunctional immune regulation is a hallmark of serious autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.
COYA 303 is an investigational biologic combination of COYA 301 and a glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) designed for subcutaneous administration. In a preclinical study, COYA 303 exhibited a dual immunomodulatory mechanism of action resulting in an additive/synergistic anti-inflammatory effect, which the Company believes was due to increased Treg function and suppressed pro-inflammatory myeloid cells and responder T cells. Coya intends to publish the results of this study in a peer-reviewed publication in the first half of 2025 and has filed several patent applications to protect the compound.
COYA 301 is the Company’s proprietary low-dose IL-2 that serves as a backbone adjuvant with standard of care agents and other novel pathways.
Following the positive results of this study, Coya intends to continue ongoing strategic discussions to advance COYA 303 through IND-enabling studies and into the clinic. In support of these efforts, Coya is initiating translational studies in partnership with a major academic university.
“COYA 303 is the most recent addition to Coya’s investigational pipeline. We believe that while GLP-1 RAs may have monotherapy benefits in reducing inflammation, the unique anti-inflammatory signature of the combination of GLP-1 RA and COYA 301 is supportive of opportunities that may generate significant shareholder value for Coya and a potential strategic partner,” stated COYA CEO Arun Swaminathan.
About Coya Therapeutics, Inc.
Headquartered in Houston, TX, Coya Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: COYA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing proprietary treatments focused on the biology and potential therapeutic advantages of regulatory T cells (“Tregs”) to target systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. Dysfunctional Tregs underlie numerous conditions, including neurodegenerative, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases, and this cellular dysfunction may lead to sustained inflammation and oxidative stress resulting in lack of homeostasis of the immune system.
Coya’s investigational product candidate pipeline leverages multiple therapeutic modalities aimed at restoring the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions of Tregs. Coya’s therapeutic platforms include Treg-enhancing biologics, Treg-derived exosomes, and autologous Treg cell therapy.
COYA 302 – the Company’s lead biologic investigational product or “Pipeline in a Product”– is a proprietary combination of COYA 301 (Coya’s proprietary LD IL-2) and CTLA4-Ig for subcutaneous administration with a unique dual mechanism of action that is now being developed for the treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Frontotemporal Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s Disease. Its multi-targeted approach enhances the number and anti-inflammatory function of Tregs and simultaneously lowers the expression of activated microglia and the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators. This synergistic mechanism may lead to the re-establishment of immune balance and amelioration of inflammation in a sustained and durable manner that may not be achieved by either low-dose IL-2 or CTLA4-Ig alone.
