Aimmune Therapeutics Announces Late-Breaker Presentation at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2016

Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIMT), a biopharmaceutical company developing CODIT™ (Characterized Oral Desensitization ImmunoTherapy) treatments for life-threatening food allergies, today announced that additional safety and tolerability data from the extended maintenance period of the ongoing, open-label Phase 2 continuation trial of Aimmune’s lead investigational product, AR101 for the treatment of peanut allergy, will be featured during a late-breaker oral presentation at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2016 in Vienna. Dr. Rima Rachid from the Division of Allergy and Immunology, Harvard Medical School and Boston’s Children’s Hospital, will give the presentation on Monday, June 13, 2016 (Abstract #2362). Aimmune will host a conference call and live audio webcast on Monday, June 13, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results.

“Just one year ago at EAACI, we presented positive efficacy and safety data from our first Phase 2 study of AR101 for peanut allergy. Since then, we’ve seen those data confirmed in our crossover/rollover study, and we’ve identified potential biomarkers to help predict treatment success,” said Aimmune CEO Stephen Dilly, M.B.B.S., Ph.D. “Now that we have patients who have been treated for nearly two years, we’re excited to return to EAACI and to present findings on safety and tolerability in longer-term maintenance therapy.”
