Alaunos reports ALN1003 preclinical liver-weight finding after body-fat adjustment in DIO mouse study
Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc.
- 48-day DIO mouse study: ALN1003-treated animals had lower liver weight after adjusting for body fat (ANCOVA p=0.000005; HC3 robust p=0.000015).
- Liver-weight finding consistent with lower liver injury enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP) and lower mean NAS score (2.7 vs 5.0 for selected controls).
- HOMA-IR remained significant after adjusting for body fat (ANCOVA p=0.0006; HC3 p=0.0014).
- Favorable adipose biomarkers: lower leptin, higher adiponectin, higher adiponectin-to-leptin ratio in DIO Study 1.
- ALN1003 is non-hormonal, non-incretin small molecule; all data from non-GLP mouse studies, may not translate to humans.
