Insights
Revelation's Gemini drug shows remarkable ability to normalize inflammatory responses in CKD patients with excellent safety profile.
Revelation Biosciences' Phase 1b PRIME study results for Gemini represent a significant clinical breakthrough in treating inflammatory conditions. The drug successfully met its primary safety endpoint while demonstrating remarkable activity in normalizing inflammatory responses at the cellular level in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease patients.
The most striking finding is Gemini's ability to address both sides of immune dysfunction. In patients with hyperinflammation (IL-1β >40 pg/mL), Gemini significantly reduced inflammatory markers compared to placebo. Simultaneously, in patients suffering from immunoparalysis - a dangerous state where immune cells cannot properly respond to stimuli - Gemini restored normal responsiveness to lipopolysaccharide stimulation.
This dual action suggests a rebalancing mechanism rather than simple immunosuppression, potentially avoiding side effects typical of traditional anti-inflammatory agents. The duration of effect is particularly impressive, with benefits observed at 2, 24, and even 168 hours (7 days) after a single dose, indicating sustained immunomodulation.
Safety data appears promising, with only Grade I (mild) adverse events at the target dose, including transient headache, chills, loose stool, and body aches. Even at higher doses, adverse events resolved quickly. Importantly, there were no serious adverse events and no clinically significant changes in blood, urinalysis, vital signs, or ECG parameters beyond expected immune cell mobilization.
The study's design was robust, enrolling 40 patients across multiple clinical sites with appropriate placebo controls and dose escalation. The statistical significance reached (p<0.05) for key inflammatory markers further validates the findings. With an End of Phase 1 FDA meeting scheduled, Gemini shows strong potential to address inflammatory dysregulation in CKD and potentially other inflammatory conditions.
- Gemini normalized the inflammatory response at the cellular level in stage 3 and 4 CKD patients -
- Gemini could potentially revolutionize the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disease -
Data discussion webcast/conference call will be held at 8:30 am Eastern Time
SAN DIEGO, CA / / September 10, 2025 / (NASDAQ:REVB) (the "Company" or "Revelation"), a clinical-stage life sciences company focused on rebalancing inflammation, will host a corporate update webcast/conference call (details below) at 8:30 am Eastern Time to review groundbreaking activity data from its Phase 1b PRIME clinical study in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The primary endpoint to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of was met.
More importantly, Gemini significantly reduced inflammatory activity and restored normal cellular response to stimuli as measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from patients at predose, 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose, demonstrating Gemini's ability to durably rebalance the inflammatory process at the cellular level.
"The activity observed with a single dose of Gemini in patients is shocking," said Principal Investigator , MD, Balboa Research. "This effect suggests a meaningful step forward in addressing the underlying immune dysregulation observed in patients with chronic kidney disease, and I am intrigued by the potential of Gemini to treat multiple types of acute and chronic inflammation."
"The results from this Phase 1b study represent a possible breakthrough in the treatment of inflammation," said Principal Investigator , MD, PhD,Research Director at Clinical Advancement Center, PLLC. "By addressing the inflammatory component of CKD, we may be able to improve patient outcomes and bring meaningful benefit to those living with this challenging condition. We look forward to working with the Revelation team to advance Gemini as a potential treatment for CKD."
"The clear results from the PRIME study demonstrate the power of Gemini to elicit trained immunity," said , Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, Department of Pathology, Microbiology, and Immunology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. "It is highly validating to see results consistent with the findings from our animal studies, as I would have expected. The strength of the effect of a single dose reinforces my confidence in the potential of Gemini as a promising treatment for burn patients."
The PRIME study enrolled 40 patients from 32 to 78 years of age, at 3 US clinics located in San Diego and San Antonio, specializing in the care of patients with CKD. A total of 5 cohorts (8 patients per cohort, 6 treated/2 placebo) at 4 dose levels were enrolled: a subtherapeutic dose, a low dose, the target dose (cohorts 3 and 4), and a high dose - an extension protocol was conducted to collect additional PBMC and biomarker samples in 8 Gemini naive or secondary naive patients. The primary endpoint was evaluation of safety.
In addition to safety measures, patient PBMCs were isolated predose and at 2, 24, and 168 hours post-dose. PBMCs were analyzed ex vivo for background inflammation by measurement of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1RA. Cells were also assessed for response to stimulation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, also known as endotoxin) or high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1). Subgroup analysis divided patients into two categories, those with PBMCs of minimal background inflammation activity (
In patients with high background PBMC activity, Gemini significantly reduced inflammation relative to placebo patient PBMCs post dose (IL-1β: p<0.01; TNF-α: p=0.05; IL-6: p<0.01; IL-10: p<0.01; IL-1RA: p<0.001) and remained significantly below their baseline value through 7 days. Background inflammation was reduced to levels comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects.
Additionally, Gemini was able to demonstrate correction of the immunoparalysis typical to chronic disease. Gemini significantly increased the responsiveness to LPS stimulation in high background patient PBMCs relative to placebo at all timepoints (IL-1β: p<0.0001; TNF-α: p<0.002; IL-6: p<0.0002; IL-10: p=0.09; IL-1RA: p<0.01). Gemini also significantly increased the responsiveness of patient PBMCs with high background vs placebo patient PBMCs with high background at all time-points to HMGB1 stimulation (IL-1β: p<0.05; TNF-α: p<0.01; IL-6: p<0.01; IL-10: p<0.05; IL-1RA: p<0.002). The increased responsiveness was comparable to PBMCs isolated from healthy subjects. These results show the ability of Gemini to restore normal cell function, even as far as one week after a single dose.
For the low background patients, as expected, Gemini does not increase inflammatory activity. Additional analysis on the effect of LPS or HMGB-1 stimulation is ongoing.
Gemini administration was well-tolerated at the target dose (established as the maximum tolerated dose in healthy volunteers) with all events reported as mild (Grade I). Adverse events observed at the target dose included transient headache, chills, loose stool, and body aches. Three adverse events at the highest dose (above the target dose) were reported as severe (Grade III), and included chills, nausea and vomiting, all resolving in 3 hours or less. Other reported events were either mild (Grade I) or moderate (Grade II). All events corresponded with the previous healthy volunteer study, as well as with preclinical findings, and are consistent with the expected pharmacology of the drug. No serious adverse events were reported. Gemini administration did not result in clinically significant trends in clinical safety blood or urinalysis parameters (aside from expected immune cell mobilization). There were no clinically significant changes or trends in vital sign parameters or ECG assessments following administration of Gemini.
"The results of the PRIME study demonstrate the potential of Gemini to be a game-changer in the treatment of acute and chronic inflammation," said , Chief Executive Officer of Revelation. "We look forward to our scheduled End of Phase 1 meeting with the FDA later this year to discuss the advancement of this exciting program."

About CKD
Chronic kidney disease is a pervasive problem in the United States and world-wide. CKD is due to chronic inflammation and can be initiated and propagated in several ways. One prevalent condition is the high blood sugar levels associated with diabetes (either Type 1 or Type 2). High blood sugar is toxic to kidney cells creating stress which imitates the inflammatory process leading to the demise of these cells with subsequent fibrosis, ultimately resulting in continuous loss of kidney function over time. High arterial blood pressure is another source of stress that initiates the inflammatory process leading to CKD. Other risk factors include heart disease, obesity, family history of CKD, or advanced age. Progression of chronic kidney damage often leads to end stage renal disease with the need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality for affected patients. Kidney disease is a leading cause of death in the United States.
