Press releases
Hamburg, Germany, April 24, 2025 – Topas Therapeutics today announced that it will present clinical Phase 2a data on its lead candidate, TPM502, in celiac disease patients at the upcoming Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) 2025, held from May 3–6, 2025, in San Diego, CA. TPM502 comprises a tolerizing nanoparticle mixture that carries the crucial gluten epitopes for HLA-DQ2.5, present in most celiac disease patients. In October of last year, the company announced positive topline results from its Phase 2a trial evaluating TPM502, showing persistent, antigen-specific tolerogenic effects in patients with celiac disease.
