(Nasdaq: EVLO), please note that in the first sentence of the First Quarter 2022 Financial Results (Unaudited) section, the dates should be “As of March 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were $39.6 million, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $68.4 million as of December 31, 2021,” not December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021. The corrected release follows: Evelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: EVLO), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing a new modality of orally delivered medicines, today reported financial results and business highlights for the first quarter 2022. “This quarter we reported positive data for EDP1815 in psoriasis in three key areas: effects on systemic inflammatory cytokine markers; depth and duration of response at 6-month follow-up post dosing; and increased target site engagement with a faster release capsule. These data, together with our previously reported Phase 2 clinical efficacy data and preclinical data, demonstrate the central role of the small intestinal axis, SINTAX™, and supports the potential of EDP1815 as a new type of inflammation-resolving medicine with broad applicability,” said Simba Gill, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Evelo. “We continue to advance EDP1815 towards later-stage clinical trials in psoriasis. Additionally, we are recruiting ahead of plan in our Phase 2 trial of EDP1815 in atopic dermatitis, and now expect data from the first three cohorts in the trial to be available in the first quarter of 2023, and data from a potential fourth cohort to be available in 2Q 2023.” First Quarter 2022 Highlights EDP1815 in Psoriasis
