LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equillium, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQ), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging a deep understanding of immunobiology to develop novel therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, today announced they will host a virtual key opinion leader (KOL) event on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 12:00 PM ET.
The event will feature experts in their fields, Francisco J. Quintana, PhD (Harvard Medical School) and Brian Feagan, MD, FRCPC (Western Ontario), who will discuss the unmet needs and evolving treatment landscape in ulcerative colitis (UC) and the promise of targeting AhR to resolve inflammation and promote mucosal healing in this chronic inflammatory disease.
Company management will also provide a scientific and translational overview of EQ504, Equillium’s potent oral, colon-targeted AhR modulator that selectively activates key anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerative pathways. Presenters will review preclinical data demonstrating EQ504’s differentiated mechanism of action – enhancing IL-10 and IL-22 signaling, driving regulatory T-cell function, and protecting epithelial barrier integrity – and discuss the company’s plans for a Phase 1 proof-of-mechanism study expected to initiate mid-2026.
A live question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentations. To register for the event, please click here. A replay of the webinar will be accessible in the Investors section of Equillium’s website following the event.
