Celsius has completed a Phase 1 study for its lead program, CEL383, which inhibits a protein coding gene called TREM1. This gene intensifies an inflammatory response that leads to the development of IBD.

AbbVie is eager to advance the development of CEL383, with a goal of helping more patients with IBD achieve remission. This is according to Kori Wallace, AbbVie's global head of immunology clinical development.

Immunology drugmakers have been in the spotlight lately, drawing investor interest in both the private and public markets. AbbVie is one of several major pharma companies to buy an immune drugmaker recently.

Takeda has also been active in the market, licensing a psoriasis treatment from Nimbus Therapeutics for $4 billion. Roche made a $7.1 billion deal to buy a Roivant subsidiary, and startups like Mirador Therapeutics have drawn hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment.

Celsius had previously inked an agreement with Johnson & Johnson to find predictive biomarkers in a clinical trial of patients with ulcerative colitis. This is just one example of the partnerships being formed in the industry.
