summarizeSummary
Callan JMB Inc. has been selected to oversee manufacturing and quality control for Attune Biotech's Investigational New Drug (IND) clinical trials for lodonal™ (JKB-122), a drug targeting Long COVID. This engagement includes critical services such as Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) qualification, comprehensive batch record review, and supply chain verification. This specific project follows a strategic teaming agreement announced in January 2026, where Callan JMB was established as an independent third-party overseer for Attune's operations.

Investors will monitor the progress of Attune Biotech's Phase 2b/3 clinical trials for lodonal™ and any further specific engagements or expansions of the partnership.
