TORONTO -- 

Antibe Therapeutics Inc. ("Antibe" or the “Company”) (TSXV:ATE, OTCQB:ATBPF), a leader in developing safer therapeutics for pain and inflammation, is pleased to announce that its Phase 2B dose-ranging, efficacy study for ATB-346 has formally commenced. Enrollment is open, clinical sites have been activated and patients will now begin screening.

The study is designed to validate the efficacy of ATB-346 in reducing osteoarthritis (“OA”) pain and establish the dose for Phase 3 development. The study will involve a total of 360 patients with OA of the knee, who will be randomized to placebo or one of three doses of ATB-346 administered once daily: 150 mg, 200 mg or 250 mg.

“We are excited to officially commence the final Phase 2 study for ATB-346,” commented Dan Legault, Antibe’s CEO. “A successful outcome in this large clinical trial will further validate the best-in-class potential of ATB-346, and will represent a major inflection point as we position ourselves for Phase 3 development and global partnering discussions.”

The study is being conducted by Veristat, Inc. (“Veristat”) in approximately 35 clinical sites across Canada and is expected to have a top-line data read-out this summer.

About ATB-346

ATB-346 is a hydrogen sulfide-releasing derivative of naproxen. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (“NSAIDs”) are the most commonly used therapy for osteoarthritis, but their use is associated with a high incidence of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. NSAIDs are also widely used in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, and general pain reduction, with a similarly high rate of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. It is well-accepted that patients with these conditions would benefit greatly from an effective, non-addictive, GI-sparing anti-inflammatory/analgesic agent such as ATB-346.

About Antibe Therapeutics Inc.

Antibe develops safer, non-addictive medicines for pain and inflammation. Antibe’s technology involves linking a hydrogen sulfide-releasing molecule to an existing drug to produce a patented, improved medicine. Antibe’s lead drug ATB-346 targets the global need for a safer, non-addictive drug for chronic pain and inflammation. ATB-352, the second drug in Antibe’s pipeline, targets the urgent global need for a non-addictive analgesic for treating severe acute pain, while ATB-340 is a GI-safe derivative of aspirin. www.antibethera.com.
