Abivax to host KOL Investor Event to review phase 2b clinical data and phase 3 trial design for obefazimod in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis on February 6, 2024

PARIS, France, January 24, 2024, 8:30 a.m. CET – Abivax SA (Euronext Paris & Nasdaq: ABVX) (“Abivax” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics that harness the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms to modulate the immune response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, today announces the organization of a virtual KOL Investor Event on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST (8:00 p.m. CET). To participate in the event, please register here.

The event will feature Marla Dubinsky, MD, and Parambir Dulai, MD. Along with Abivax’s management, they will be discussing the unmet medical need and current treatment landscape for patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (UC).
