[{"type":"text","content":"LA JOLLA, Calif., April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equillium, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQ), a biotechnology innovator developing novel therapies to treat severe autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, today announced that new EQ504 preclinical data have been accepted for poster presentations at IMMUNOLOGY2026™, the annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, April 15-19, 2026. “We are excited to share these preclinical findings that support the differentiated profile of EQ504 as a potent AhR modulator, with the potential to influence both immune cell responses and barrier restoration,” said Dr. Stephen Connelly, Chief Scientific Officer of Equillium. “Together, these attributes are particularly important in diseases such as ulcerative colitis, where both reducing inflammation and improving mucosal healing are critical to achieving meaningful outcomes for patients.” Details of the presentations: Abstract title: EQ504: A Novel AhR Modulator That Promotes Immune Tolerance Through Il-10 and Il-22 Cytokine ReleaseSession: Immune Response Regulation: Cellular Mechanisms IPresentation Type: Poster Abstract PresentationPresentation Location & Time: Exhibit Hall, Thursday April 16, 2026Session Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM EDTPoster Board Number: 242Speaker at Poster: 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM EDTAbstract title: EQ504, a Potent AhR Modulator, Promotes Epithelial Repair and Barrier Restoration Compared to Clinically Validated AhR AgonistsSession: Immunology of Barrier SurfacesPresentation Type: Poster Abstract PresentationPresentation Location & Time: Exhibit Hall, Saturday April 18, 2026Session Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM EDTPoster Board Number: 517Speaker at Poster: 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM EDT Following each presentation, the posters will be available on the Presentations page, located under the Technology section on equilliumbio.com. About EQ504EQ504 is an investigational potent and selective aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) modulator with a multi-modal, non-immunosuppressive mechanism of action designed to be complementary to other inflammation and immunology agents. AhR is critical to barrier organ tissue physiology and immunology, maintaining barrier function and promoting tissue repair and regeneration, while regulating resident immune cells with anti-inflammatory responses.
