SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ventyx Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: VTYX) (“Ventyx”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing novel oral therapies that address a broad range of inflammatory diseases with significant unmet medical need, today announced that a late-breaking abstract including new long-term extension (LTE) data from the Phase 2 trial of tamuzimod in ulcerative colitis was presented on October 15, 2024 during the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week meeting in Vienna, Austria.

“We are excited to present the new long-term extension data from the tamuzimod Phase 2 trial in patients with ulcerative colitis at UEG Week,” said Raju Mohan, PhD, Chief Executive Officer. “These 52-week data continue to reinforce the potential best-in-class profile of our S1P1R modulator tamuzimod in ulcerative colitis, with a potential best-in-disease safety profile amongst all the oral options for UC therapy. We believe the high rates of clinical remission and endoscopic remission position tamuzimod as the backbone of future combination therapies for UC.”
