NImmune Biopharma has sponsored multiple clinical trials evaluating Omilancor (BT-11) in healthy volunteers and patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Phase 1 research included a clinical trial assessing dose-escalation safety in healthy subjects alongside a clinical trial in eosinophilic esophagitis that was withdrawn. In Phase 2, a clinical trial in ulcerative colitis was successfully completed, whereas several clinical trials in moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease were terminated or withdrawn.

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile
Appendix RUO and cGMP Quality Standards
| Quality Dimension | RUO (Research Use Only) | cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Applicability | Prohibited in human clinical trials or medical diagnostics. | Mandatory for human clinical trials (Phase I–III) and therapies. |
| Regulatory Status | Non-regulated grade; exempt from drug manufacturing laws. | Legally enforced by health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, NMPA). |
| Facility Environment | Unclassified analytical or research laboratories. | Validated Cleanrooms (ISO Class 5–8) with continuous monitoring. |
| Quality Control | Basic purity and activity testing. | Rigorous safety release testing (Sterility, Endotoxin, Mycoplasma). |
| Process Validation | Basic equipment calibration; no process validation required. | Full qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and complete batch records. |
| Quality Assurance | Vendor self-declared without required formal QMS. | Mandatory QA/QC unit, Change Control, CAPA, and vendor audits. |
| Regulatory Impact | High risk of IND rejection if used as a critical raw material. | Required for IND/NDA filings, supported by Drug Master Files (DMF). |
