About VB-201

VB-201 is a proprietary, first-in-class, orally-available, specific innate immunity disease-modifying medicine in development for the effective treatment of chronic immune-inflammatory diseases. VB-201 offers the potential to deliver long-term control of a spectrum of immune-inflammatory conditions, including psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Five Phase 1 clinical trials involving 140 healthy subjects have demonstrated that VB-201 is well tolerated with a favorable safety profile. VBL recently completed a Phase 2 clinical trial for VB-201 in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Data from a Phase 2 sub-study of VB-201in psoriasis patients with cardiovascular risk demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in vascular inflammation associated with atherosclerotic lesions as measured by PET-CT imaging. The findings validate the compound's novel mechanism of action for the control and attenuation of chronic immune-inflammatory diseases via highly selective modulation of components of the innate immune system, and demonstrate an anti-inflammatory effect on two systemic inflammatory conditions simultaneously—atherosclerosis of the vascular wall and psoriasis.
