These results are expected to be favorable based on positive results of a recent interim study, noted a ROTH Capital Partners report.

Revelation Biosciences Inc. (REVB: NASDAQ) is about to release topline data from the Phase 1b PRIME (PRotective IMmunostimulatory Evaluation) trial evaluating Gemini in patients with chronic kidney disease, reported Dr. Jonathan Aschoff, managing director and senior research analyst, ROTH Capital Partners, in a June 5 research note. 

Gemini is Revelation's lead clinical candidate, an intravenously administrated, proprietary formulation of PHAD, or phosphorylated hexaacyl disaccharide, explained Aschoff. This potential therapy decreases inflammation-caused damage by reprogramming the innate immune system to respond to stress, such as trauma and infection, less intensely.

2,253% Upside Possible

At the time of Aschoff's report, Revelation was trading at about $0.85 per share. In comparison, ROTH's target on the biopharma firm is $20 per share. Thus, the target implies a potential return of 2,253%.

Revelation is a Buy.

Cashed Up for 2025

The life sciences firm has enough cash to continue advancing its clinical programs into Q1/26, noted Aschoff. At the end of Q1/25, Revelation had $7.3 million ($7.3M), consisting of $3.7M in cash and $3.6M in net proceeds from the recent equity financing, reported Aschoff. This is enough to fund the biotech to Q1/26, according to ROTH's estimates.

New Indication Added

Revelation Bioscience is developing Gemini for multiple indications and just announced another: post burn infections. The biotech, reported the analyst, will evaluate Gemini as a treatment for preventing infection in burns severe enough to require hospitalization. Gemini's clinical biomarker activity was shown to strongly correlate to the benefits seen in preclinical models of burn infection, specifically, a significant reduction in the severity and duration of a Pseudomonas lung infection and an overall decrease in inflammation.

Further Study Underway

Gemini's protective effects against inflammation were exhibited in a recent study, Revelation announced in March. In that, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBCs) were primed with either Gemini or placebo and then challenged with clinically relevant inflammation promoters. These activators were high mobility nbox protein-1, or HMGB-1, generated by tissue injury, and lipopolysaccharide, or LPS, generated by bacterial infection, in vitro.

After exposing Gemini-primed PMBCs to two different doses of either of these proinflammatory agents, levels of multiple proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines including Interleukin-1B (IL-1b), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa), IL-6, IL-1RA and IL-10 were measured. As shown in the results, Gemini priming significantly decreased proinflammatory cytokines and materially increased anti-inflammatory cytokines (such as IL-1RA and IL-10).

These outcomes bode well for Gemini performing as expected in the target indications in the biotech's Phase 1b PRIME trial underway (started in January 2025). This U.S.-based, multisite, placebo-controlled study, eventually will encompass 40 enrolled patients, with stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease, in up to five dose cohorts. In this study, PBMCs are being collected from participating patients and subjected to the same HMGB-1 and LPS analyses as in the preceding study. The objective is to demonstrate the same attenuated response to HMGB-1 and LPS ex vivo versus placebo in chronic kidney disease patients.

Topline data, including safety, tolerability and protection against pro-inflammatory agents, are expected in mid-2025.

More Stock Details

Aschoff reported that at the time of his report, Revelation had 960,000 shares outstanding. Its market cap was $850,000. Its 52-week range was $0.85–38.40 per share.
