(NASDAQ: CGEN), announced today that CGEN-15001 was the subject of a presentation by Joseph Podojil, Ph.D. of the Feinberg School of Medicine Northwestern University, at the 2nd International Conference on Immune Tolerance, now being held in Amsterdam. This is the first time that scientific information related to CGEN-15001’s therapeutic potential is being presented to the scientific community. In his talk, Dr. Podojil presented data demonstrating that administration of CGEN-15001 in the experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE) animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS) resulted in a dramatic improvement of disease symptoms and abolishment of spontaneous relapses. In addition, the study results demonstrated that short-term treatment with CGEN-15001 lead to long-term inhibition of disease symptoms as well as of the underlying spread of pathological immune responses.
