(Nasdaq: ALMS), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing oral therapies using a precision approach to optimize clinical outcomes and significantly improve the lives of patients with immune-mediated diseases, today announced positive 28-week data from the open-label extension (OLE) period of its Phase 2 STRIDE clinical trial of ESK-001.

Alumis, a recent IPO, has ESK-001, a promising phase 3 TYK2 inhibitor for Psoriasis and SLE, showing superior efficacy and safety over existing treatments. ESK-001's allosteric inhibition offers high selectivity and minimal off-target effects, potentially positioning it as a better alternative to the approved TYK2 inhibitor, Sotyktu. Despite strong midstage trial data and a solid cash runway, the highly competitive market and recent IPO status present significant investment risks.
