Ashvattha Therapeutics to Present Preclinical Data at the AACR and ARVO 2023 Annual Meetings

• Preclinical data to be presented at AACR will showcase the potential effect of D-4559, a potent macrophage switching nanomedicine, on reducing tumor growth in a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer
• Ashvattha will present preclinical data at ARVO on its oral formulation of D-4517.2, a potent anti-angiogenic nanomedicine, in a laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) mouse model, and compare its efficacy with intravitreal aflibercept
• Collaborators from John Hopkins University will also present preclinical data at ARVO on the effect of D-4517.2 systemically administered in a mouse genetic model of subretinal vascular disease

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ashvattha Therapeutics (“Ashvattha”), a clinical-stage company developing a new class of nanomedicines, today announced that the company will present preclinical data at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) 2023 annual meetings. The presentations will showcase the potential of Ashvattha’s pipeline of nanomedicines to transverse tissue barriers to selectively target activated cells in regions of inflammation. The poster presented at AACR will be published in an online-only Proceedings supplement to the AACR journal Cancer Research on Friday, April 14.
