(NASDAQ: ACRS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel product candidates for immuno-inflammatory diseases, today announced that a late-breaking abstract on its open-label Phase 2a trial of ATI-2138, a potent and selective investigational oral covalent inhibitor of interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and Janus kinase 3 (JAK3), was selected for oral presentation at the 2025 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress, being held September 17-20, 2025, in Paris, France. The presentation will include additional results from Aclaris’ Phase 2a trial in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Presentation Details: Title Molecular and Clinical Effects of oral ATI-2138, an ITK/JAK3 inhibitor, in Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis: Sub-study of a Phase 2a Open-Label, Single-Arm TrialAbstract ID LBA-323Session D2T01.3ASession Room Paris NordDate Thursday, September 18, 2025Time 14:15 – 14:30 CESTPresenter Jessica Beaziz-Tordjman, M.D., French dermatologist and senior associate researcher, Laboratory for Inflammatory Skin Diseases, Department of Dermatology, The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY. About ATI-2138 ATI-2138 is a highly potent and selective novel investigational pharmacologic agent that acts as a dual inhibitor of interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and Janus kinase 3 (JAK3). ITK regulates T cell receptor signal transduction and inhibition of this kinase can affect T cell differentiation and activation. JAK3 is a key signal transduction kinase that forms a heterodimer with JAK1, modulates JAK1 phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5), and regulates cytokines that signal through the IL-2 receptor common gamma chain (IL-2ϒc) to affect lymphocyte proliferation and activation. The efficacy results exhibited in preclinical animal models of inflammation and autoimmune diseases, coupled with the favorable safety, PK, and PD profile in healthy human SAD and MAD studies and the top-line results of the Phase 2a trial in AD support the potential for ATI-2138 to affect several human inflammatory diseases and further investigation of this molecule in patients with atopic and autoimmune diseases that are dependent on T cell function and/or IL-2ϒc signaling. About Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. Aclaris Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel product candidates to address the needs of patients with immuno-inflammatory diseases who lack satisfactory treatment options. The company has a multi-stage portfolio of product candidates powered by a robust R&D engine.
