First Tracks Biotherapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Tracks Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRAX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing antibody therapeutics that modulate immune pathways implicated in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2026, and provided a business update.
“ANB033, a subcutaneously administered CD122 antagonist designed to inhibit signaling of both IL-15 and IL-2 on immune cells, demonstrated statistically significant protection against gluten-induced intestinal damage and symptoms and was well tolerated in the Phase 1b gluten-challenge cohort. These data support our plans to progress ANB033 into late-stage development in 2027 in celiac disease as a potential treatment to prevent both acute symptoms and intestinal damage from gluten exposure despite general adherence to a gluten-free diet,” said Daniel Faga, president and chief executive officer. “We will continue to work with regulators, clinicians and the patient community to advance ANB033. We anticipate initiating Phase 2 development in vitiligo and one additional indication in the first half of 2027, and reporting top-line results from the celiac disease mucosal-healing cohort in the first quarter of 2027 and in eosinophilic esophagitis in the third quarter of 2027.”
