Burlington, Massachusetts--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2025) - Lifordi Immunotherapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotech company developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, presented nonclinical data on its lead LFD-200, an ADC delivering a potent glucocorticoid (GC) directly to immune cells. The Company also announced that its Phase 1 study of LFD-200 in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is underway and initial data from healthy participants (HPs) are anticipated by year-end 2025. The data presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2025 meeting demonstrated that LFD-200 achieves sustained GC exposures in immune cells of non-human primates (NHPs) for at least seven days and suppresses proinflammatory cytokine expression without evidence of toxicity after 13 weekly, clinically relevant doses.
