RALEIGH, NC / ACCESSWIRE / September 1, 2022 / 9 Meters Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:NMTR), a clinical-stage company pioneering novel treatments for people with rare or debilitating digestive diseases, today announced that the company will participate at the 44^th European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) Congress taking place September 3-6, 2022, in Vienna.

9 Meters will have an in-person exhibit located at booth #9 in the exhibition hall at the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center. Representatives of the Company will be present on site to address medical questions on the Company's product pipeline, particularly vurolenatide for short bowel syndrome (SBS). 9 Meters recently reported positive preliminary Phase 2 results for vurolenatide in SBS, a rare disease in which patients are incapable of maintaining proper nutrition and hydration through normal oral intake alone due to a physical or functional loss of a portion of the intestines. In addition to exhibiting, 9 Meters will also be sponsoring the ESPEN event.

"We look forward to attending ESPEN in person this year and connecting with healthcare professionals focusing on clinical nutrition and its role in certain GI disorders including SBS," said John Temperato, President & Chief Executive Officer of 9 Meters Biopharma. "We are excited to be available to share information about our product pipeline with those attending the Congress."
