STOCKHOLM, May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --InDex Pharmaceuticals AB (publ) today announced that the company will present two posters at the Digestive Disease Week (DDW). DDW is the largest congress in the world within gastroenterology. The congress is held in Washington DC, US on June 2-5, 2018.

The first poster will be presented during the poster session on Sunday June 3 and has the title A retrospective analysis of the clinical application of the multigene analysis test DiBiCol® to differentiate between ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and non-IBD. The poster presents a retrospective analysis of the diagnostic test DiBiCol®, showing that it can be a useful tool to support physicians in the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to differentiate Crohn’s disease from ulcerative colitis and non-IBD.

The second poster has the title The TLR9 agonist cobitolimod modulates the immune system in ulcerative colitis by balancing the Th17/Treg cell response and will be presented during the poster session on Tuesday June 5. The poster includes mechanism of action data on cobitolimod both from an experimental model of colitis and from ulcerative colitis patients, showing that cobitolimod can modulate the immune system in ulcerative colitis by balancing the mucosal Th17/Treg cell response.
