LA JOLLA, Calif., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB), a clinical-stage immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient’s innate immune system to fight disease, announced today that RJ Tesi, MD, CEO and CMO of INmune Bio will participate on a COVID-19 therapeutics panel discussion, at Maxim Group’s Infectious Disease Virtual Conference at 3:45pm ET, on Tuesday, May 5, 2020. Dr. Tesi will discuss treating COVID-19 as an inflammatory disease.
“Inflammation is a key element to the pathology seen in patients with COVID-19. Any treatment that targets the complications of COVID-19 should somehow explain why hypertension and obesity are such important risk factors to hospitalization from this vexing disease,” said RJ Tesi. “We believe endothelial activation caused by soluble TNF is an unrecognized driver of the disease. Patients with hypertension and obesity already have inflamed endothelial cells. With the added stimulus of the cytokine storm, the response is dramatic. We believe targeting sTNF is the ideal anti-cytokine therapy for treating the complications of COVID-19 as it targets inflammation without immunosuppressing the host.”
