[{"type":"text","content":"MIAMI, Sept. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAB BIO (Nasdaq: SABS) (the “Company” or “SAB”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a novel immunotherapy platform developing a human anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin (hIgG) for delaying the onset or progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D), today announced that it will present at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes 60th Annual Meeting on September 9, 2024 in Madrid. SAB’s Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Alexandra Kropotova, MD, MBA will present “Protecting pancreatic beta cells with multi-target, multi-epitope immunotherapy: SAB-142.” Title: “Protecting pancreatic beta cells with multi-target, multi-epitope immunotherapy: SAB-142” Date & Time: INNODIA EASD Symposium September 9, 2024 8:45 am Location: Beijing Hall of EASD Symposium About the European Association for the Study of Diabetes The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) is a membership-based academic non-profit organization. It was founded in 1965 and its headquarters is based in Duesseldorf, Germany. The aims of the Association are to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes, the rapid diffusion of acquired knowledge and to facilitate its application. The EASD Annual Meeting is one of the largest diabetes conferences in the world, attracting thousands of delegates each year. The scientific program includes hundreds of talks, presentations and discussions on the latest results from basic and clinical diabetes research. About SAB-142 SAB-142 is a human alternative to rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG). SAB-142’s mechanism of action is analogous to that of rabbit ATG, which has been clinically validated in multiple clinical trials for type 1 diabetes, demonstrating the ability to slow down disease progression in patients with new or recent onset of Stage 3 type 1 diabetes. Two clinical trials have shown that a single, low dose of 2.5mg/kg rabbit ATG has demonstrated the ability to modulate the body’s immune response to help slow beta cell destruction and preserve the ability of these cells to generate insulin, which the body needs to regulate blood sugar and carry out all human activities. SAB-142, like rabbit ATG, directly targets multiple immune cells involved in destroying pancreatic beta cells. By stopping immune cells from attacking beta cells, this tre...
