Professor Thomas Borody, MD, a leading innovator of therapeutic approaches for gastrointestinal diseases, inventor of the original anti-MAP combination, which included the RHB-104 actives (Myoconda), as well as the first patented triple antibiotic therapy for H. pylori peptic ulcer disease, and a member of RedHill’s Advisory Board, said: “I have been treating patients in my clinic with the anti-MAP combination of antibiotics for over 20 years and have seen remarkable results, with many patients achieving complete and lasting remission over time. It is very exciting to see RedHill continue to progress RHB-104 through advanced clinical development. The similarities between Crohn’s disease in humans and Johne’s disease in cattle, the strong science pointing to MAP as the infective suspected cause of Crohn’s disease and my extensive experience in treating patients with these antibiotics, all lead me to believe that RHB-104 has the potential to become a ground-breaking treatment for Crohn’s disease. I am therefore hopeful that RedHill’s RHB-104 Phase III program will succeed in demonstrating the relationship between MAP and Crohn’s disease and, if successful, help provide Crohn’s patients with a new, safe and effective treatment option.”
