Summary:
BBT-401-1S is an orally available small molecule drug, and you can take safely the oral capsule just once a day. BBT-401-1S is an investigational medication that inhibits the functions of the "Pellino-1" protein within the gastrointestinal tract. This protein is a part of the immune system within the human body that helps transmit immune response signals downstream. By neutralizing Pellino-1, BBT-401-1S works to disrupt and block the signals that can cause the body's immune system to attack cells within the colon and rectum and promote the inflammatory process implicated in Ulcerative Colitis. BBT-401-1S has demonstrated anti-UC success compared to the other therapies during the preclinical phase by displaying improved clinical symptoms and reduced cell inflammation during examination. This study has shown to be safe and well-tolerated when tested in healthy human volunteers during its Phase 1 trial study, with no traces of the drug absorbed or detected within the blood and the most common side effects being mild diarrhea and mild headaches.
