Rebranding introduced as Company advances toward Phase 3 clinical trial with lead asset – latiglutenase for the treatment of celiac disease
New Nasdaq ticker symbol is “ENTO” effective May 17, 2024
BOCA RATON, FL, USA I May 16, 2024 I Entero Therapeutics, Inc. (formerly First Wave BioPharma, Inc.) (Nasdaq: ENTO) (“Entero” or the “Company”), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted, non-systemic therapies for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, today unveiled its new corporate name and website. The rebranding follows the recent business combination with ImmunogenX and reflect the Company’s focus on addressing unmet needs in GI health that include celiac disease, an indication for which there are no approved medicines today. Entero’s common stock will commence trading on May 17, 2024, on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol of ENTO.
James Sapirstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entero Therapeutics, said, “The rebranding aligns our corporate identity with our mission of bringing to market new treatments for the gut and intestine. We have accelerated this by adding latiglutenase to our pipeline. This is an opportunity to address significant medical need and market opportunity for celiac disease. As we prepare for a Phase 3 study with this program and advance our other drug candidates, we want to make sure that our branding better reflects the Company’s GI focus.”
Latiglutenase is an oral biotherapeutic composed of two gluten-specific recombinant proteases that has demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating GI symptoms of celiac disease and protecting against intestinal damage in three Phase 2 trials. The Phase 3 clinical plan for latiglutenase has been reviewed by the GI Division of the FDA, and the Company expects to initiate the trial in early 2025.
Today, in honor of Celiac Awareness Month in May, Entero will partner with Celiac Journey, a celiac disease patient advocacy organization, to share an awareness digital display on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square at 4:25 p.m. ET. The digital display will also be shown at night as part of the international “Shine a Light on Celiac Disease” initiative to illuminate famous landmarks in green.
