Antibe to Present Otenaproxesul PK/PD Results at the ASRA Pain Medicine Meeting

– The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine is the largest subspecialty medical society in anesthesiology

Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (TSX:ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF), a clinical-stage biotechnology company leveraging its hydrogen sulfide platform to target pain and inflammation, is pleased to announce a moderated poster presentation of data from otenaproxesul’s recent pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (“PK/PD”) study. The poster will be presented at the 49th Annual Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine Meeting by Dr. Joseph Stauffer, Antibe’s Chief Medical Officer, formerly a practicing anesthesiologist:

Title: “Assessment of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Otenaproxesul, a Non-Abusable, Novel Anti-Inflammatory /Analgesic Compound”


Date: Thursday, March 21st, 2024


Time: 8:15 am (Pacific Time)


Location: The Hilton San Diego Bayfront, San Diego, California

“I am honored by ASRA’s invitation to deliver a moderated poster presentation to my anesthesiologist colleagues,” commented Dr. Stauffer. “While surgeons have the primary responsibility for prescribing post-operative analgesics, they often rely on the expertise of anesthesiologists in selecting optimal therapies. As we head into otenaproxesul’s Phase II trial, this session is an opportunity to present our novel non-opioid’s strong safety and PK data to physicians seeking safer solutions for pain.”

The poster will be available in the Scientific Publications section of the Company’s website following the presentation.
