Palisade Bio to present ulcerative colitis treatment data

CARLSBAD, CA - Palisade Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: PALI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a market capitalization of $2.6 million and current share price of $0.94, announced today its participation at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025, scheduled for May 3-6, where it will present data from its lead program PALI-2108, a colon-specific PDE4 inhibitor prodrug for the treatment of ulcerative colitis. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently trades below its Fair Value, with analysts setting price targets ranging from $8 to $38.

The company’s abstract on PALI-2108 has been recognized in the top 10% of all abstracts for poster presentation at the conference. The data will be showcased in two sessions, with the first on May 4, focusing on the bioinformatic approach to PALI-2108 treatment in ulcerative colitis, which suggests potential anti-fibrotic efficacy. The second session, on May 5, will present findings on how PALI-2108 is bioactivated in the colon and reduces colon tissue PDE4B in a dose-dependent manner, leading to increased c-AMP and suppressed TNF-α in a mouse model of colitis.

DDW is a premier event that convenes experts in gastroenterology to discuss the latest advancements in digestive diseases. Palisade Bio’s inclusion in this event underscores the significance of their research in the field.

Palisade Bio is dedicated to developing novel therapeutics for autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases, with the belief that targeted approaches can transform treatment landscapes. While InvestingPro data shows the company maintains more cash than debt on its balance sheet, it’s also quickly burning through available funds. Despite the company’s forward-looking statements regarding the efficacy and potential of PALI-2108, it acknowledges that the drug is still in the early stages of clinical development and may face risks and uncertainties, including the need for further funding and regulatory approval.
