Palisade Bio (PALI) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Palisade Bio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for gastrointestinal diseases and conditions associated with intestinal inflammation, impaired gut-barrier function and complications following surgery.

The company’s lead product candidate is LB1148, an orally administered, non-absorbed pan-serine protease inhibitor. Palisade Bio is evaluating LB1148 for its potential to limit the harmful effects of digestive enzymes, reduce inflammation and support intestinal healing during the postoperative period. The program has been studied in clinical trials involving patients undergoing abdominal surgery, including research related to postoperative ileus and other complications that can delay recovery.

Palisade Bio’s development activities are centered on advancing LB1148 through clinical testing and evaluating additional applications for the compound in gastrointestinal and surgical-care settings. As a development-stage biotechnology company, its products remain investigational and are not broadly marketed as approved therapies. The company is headquartered in the United States and focuses its clinical development efforts on markets governed by U.S. and international regulatory authorities.
