Realm Therapeutics to present at the 2017 Dermatology Summit and Biotech Showcase

Company on track to initiate two Phase II clinical trials in 2017

5 January 2017 - Realm Therapeutics plc (AIM: RLM), an emerging specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on leveraging its proprietary immunomodulatory technology, is pleased to announce that Alex Martin, CEO, will be presenting at both the 4th Annual Dermatology Summit on January 8 (2:30 pm PT at the Palace Hotel), and the Biotech Showcase on January 10 (4:00 pm PT at the Hilton Union Square) in San Francisco coinciding with the 2017 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.

Mr. Martin will review the Company's two drug development programs - PR022 for Atopic Dermatitis and PR013 for Allergic Conjunctivitis, summary details of which were announced in the Company's Development Programmes update on 16 November 2016. Following successful pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2016, Realm plans to submit two INDs in 2017 (Q1 for Atopic Dermatitis; Q3 for Allergic Conjunctivitis) and begin a Phase II study on each shortly thereafter.

Alex Martin, Chief Executive Officer of Realm Therapeutics, said: 

"2016 was an important transitional year: we divested our non-core business to fund our drug development programs, changed our name to Realm Therapeutics, and successfully emerged as a clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company. 2017 will be an exciting year as we enter Phase II with both our lead programs and we look forward to further promising developments."
