(NASDAQ: ONVO), a clinical stage biotechnology company that is focused on developing novel human therapies with demonstrated function in high fidelity three-dimensional (3D) tissues that recapitulate key aspects of human disease, today announced a clinical program for FXR 314, an FXR agonist that has completed initial clinical trials. FXR314 is a drug with safety and tolerability after daily oral dosing in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. Further, FXR314 has FDA clinical trial authorization for a Phase 2 trial in ulcerative colitis.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cWe believe FXR314 to be a best-in-class FXR agonist with high potency and the potential to avoid dose-limiting toxicity issues found in other FXR-directed compounds,\u201d said Keith Murphy, Organovo\u2019s Founder and Executive Chairman. \u201cOur 3D human tissue models will allow us to find the most effective clinical and commercial development strategy for this drug in inflammatory bowel disease patients, and we expect FXRs to have a widening set of therapeutic applications over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Organovo\u2019s FXR program announcement updates its previous guidance that it would first begin Phase 1 trials in 2025. The Company plans to give guidance on Phase 2 timelines after an internal determination of the best path forward. The Company continues to expect to file INDs starting in 2025 from fully internally developed molecules and expects to issue additional guidance on clinical plans in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Organovo<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Organovo is a clinical stage biotechnology company that is developing drugs that are demonstrated to be effective in three-dimensional (3D) human tissues as candidates for drug development.
