Novel First-in-Class Specific Oromucosal Immunotherapy (SOMIT) to treat Celiac Disease (CD)

The project aims to develop a novel treatment for celiac disease using a combination of gliadin protein, probiotic particles, and mouth patch technology, targeting market entry by 2029.

Projectdetails

Introduction

Celiac disease is an autoimmune indication for which there is no cure. Only the life-long avoidance of the disease-causing gliadin protein in gluten is available as a sub-optimal and cumbersome necessity for CD patients.

Project Development

We developed a unique novel combination of antigen (gliadin protein), probiotic tolerogenic bacterial particles (TBPs), and mouth patch technology to enhance the bioavailability and tolerance induction.

Synergistic Properties

The synergistic tolerizing properties of the TBP-antigen combination and the therapeutic effect of the SOMIT concept have been shown in a suitable pig model. Our SOMIT-CD promises to require a short-course weekly treatment for less than 3 months in CD patients.

EIC Project Goals

This EIC project will allow us to finalize the various preclinical activities and perform a phase Ib/IIa clinical study, paving the way to closing a co-development deal with a big pharma player.

Market Objectives

After market entry in 2029, we aim to:

  1. Reach a market share of 15%
  2. Generate annual revenues of €148M by 2033.
