WATERTOWN, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seismic Therapeutic, Inc., the machine learning immunology company, today announced that the company will present preclinical data for its pan-immunoglobulin G (IgG) sculpting enzyme candidate, S-1117, at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) annual meeting taking place on April 13-18 in Denver.
S-1117 is a novel engineered pan-IgG protease for the potential treatment of a range of chronic and acute autoantibody mediated diseases, including the chronic neuromuscular autoimmune disorder, myasthenia gravis. The presentation at the AAN annual meeting will outline key preclinical in vitro and in vivo results supporting the differentiated profile of S-1117 compared to therapeutic benchmarks in chronic autoantibody mediated diseases. S-1117 addresses multiple mechanisms of autoimmunity by lowering IgG and immune complex levels, reducing IgG effector functions and cleaving the antigen receptor (BCR) on memory B cells. Moreover, in a mouse pharmacokinetic model, S-1117 was able to achieve deep, sustained and rapid reduction in human IgG.
