MELBOURNE, Australia, May 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN), an Australian based and globally integrated biopharmaceutical company is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC) Office of Human and Animal Research Oversight (OHRO) to proceed with the clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of Travelan® to prevent infectious diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).

The study has also been granted Institutional Review Board (IRB) human ethics and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals (ASX announcement December 23, 2022).
