Atom Bioscience to Present at BIO CEO & Investor Conference on February 6, 2023, at the Marriott Marquis, New York City

Company plans to launch Phase 2b/3 clinical trial of much needed new treatment for gout

Jiangsu, China—February 1, 2023 – Atom Bioscience, a clinical stage biotechnology company developing new treatments for inflammatory and metabolic diseases, announced today that the company will make an in-person presentation, updating investors on its clinical pipeline, at the annual BIO CEO & Investor Conference, February 6-9, 2023, at the Marriott Marquis, New York City. The conference will include in-person meetings February 6-7 followed by virtual partnering Feb 8-9.

Roy J. Wu, Atom’s Senior Vice President of Global Business Development, will make his presentation February 6, Monday at 4:30 pm, in the Palace room at the Marriott Marquis.

Atom’s lead product, ABP-671, is an oral, small molecule URAT1 inhibitor for treatment of chronic gout. The drug is designed to reduce excessive levels of uric acid in the blood, a condition called hyperuricemia, which is the cause of gout and its characteristic painful and debilitating flare-ups. In a Phase 2a trial, ABP-671 was well tolerated and reduced uric acid levels below the threshold for hyperuricemia. The company expects to enter a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial soon.

Gout is one of the most common types of inflammatory arthritis affecting more than 55 million people worldwide. The disease has a large and growing patient population in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Latin America. The painful gout flare-ups, concentrated primarily in the joints of lower extremities, occur when uric acid in the blood exceeds levels greater than 7 mg/dL, the threshold for hyperuricemia. Failure to maintain healthy levels of uric acid can cause permanent joint damage as well as other complications such as heart, kidney and eye diseases.
