NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunic, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases, today announced that it will host a virtual research and development (R&D) day focused on relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 11:00 am ET.

Management of Immunic, including Erik Lundgren, M.B.A., Chief Executive Officer, Michael A. Panzara, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, Hella Kohlhof, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, and Jason Tardio, M.B.A., President & Chief Operating Officer, will be joined by two renowned key opinion leaders, Amit Bar-Or, M.D., FRCPC, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania and Stephen Krieger, M.D., FAAN, Icahn School of Medicine, The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City.

Ahead of the top-line data readout of the Phase 3 ENSURE trials in relapsing MS, expected by the end of 2026, Immunic will discuss its late-stage clinical asset, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), an investigational oral small molecule therapy that combines nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activation with selective dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibition to address both neurodegenerative and inflammatory drivers of MS. With the potential to go beyond traditional anti-inflammatory approaches and address persistent unmet needs, the team will share insights into how vidofludimus calcium's differentiated approach could reshape treatment for patients with relapsing MS.

Drs. Bar-Or and Krieger, internationally recognized leaders in MS clinical care and research, will provide expert perspectives on the MS patient journey, current treatment paradigms, and unmet medical needs.

The R&D Day webinar will take place on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm ET via Zoom. To register, please CLICK HERE.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (NASDAQ:IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases. The company's lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, with top-line data expected to be available by the end of 2026. Initiation of an additional Phase 3 clinical trial in progressive MS is expected later in 2026. Vidofludimus calcium has already shown therapeutic potential and a favorable safety and tolerability profile in Phase 2 clinical trials in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple sclerosis and other diseases. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). The company's development pipeline also includes earlier-stage programs, including IMU-381 and IMU-856, aimed at building a broader therapeutics platform addressing neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
