vTv Therapeutics Announces 2024 First Quarter Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

HIGH POINT, N.C., May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (“T1D”), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.

“The first quarter of 2024 saw us reach several important milestones, which we believe position vTv well for continued execution of our corporate and clinical development strategy,” said Paul Sekhri, Chief Executive Officer of vTv. “The proceeds of the private placement we announced at the end of February are expected to fully fund the first Phase 3 study of cadisegliatin in patients with T1D, for which we expect to report top line data in the first quarter of 2026. Site activation activities for this trial are well underway and we continue to expect enrollment of the first patient during the second quarter. We believe that the body of evidence generated to-date, including the data from the Phase 2 SimpliciT-1 study provides a compelling scientific rationale supporting the potential of cadisegliatin as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of this highly prevalent disease. In parallel with the upcoming launch of this Phase 3 study, we are in the planning stages for two international registrational trials of cadisegliatin in T1D which we expect to initiate in 2026. We are also continuing our close collaboration with G42 Investments to support the launch of the planned Phase 2 trial in the Middle East, evaluating cadisegliatin in 450 T2D patients currently on insulin therapy. That trial remains on-track to commence in the second half of 2024.”
