vTv Therapeutics Announces 2024 Second Quarter Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Screened first patient in cadisegliatin pivotal trial for type 1 diabetes (T1D); working to resolve clinical hold
Expanded Newsoara Biopharma license agreement for PDE4 inhibitor HPP737 to a global license effective upon payment of the $20 million upfront fee
HIGH POINT, N.C., August 8, 2024 (GLOBENEWSWIRE) – vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company with an innovative clinical portfolio of small molecules and lead program in diabetes, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.
“Our small molecule portfolio continues to make significant progress across our partnered and Company driven programs. We were pleased to amend our license with Newsoara Biopharma for PDE4 inhibitor, HPP737, to make it a global license contingent upon receipt of the required upfront fee. Azeliragon, a Cantex-partnered program, recently received Orphan Drug Designation in pancreatic cancer and is advancing in several mid- to late-stage clinical trials with broad indication potential,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of vTv Therapeutics. “We were pleased to initiate our pivotal trial in T1D for cadisegliatin, our liver selective glucokinase activator with first-in-class potential in T1D. We are working to resolve our clinical hold and resume the study as quickly as possible. Cadisegliatin has shown a favorable safety profile and has been dosed in over 500 subjects to date, including 300 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. We are encouraged at the potential of cadisegliatin as an oral therapy for improved glycemic control.”
Recent Company Highlights
•Screened First Patient in Cadisegliatin Pivotal Trial for T1D. In June, vTv Therapeutics screened the first patient in the Company’s CATT1 pivotal trial evaluating cadisegliatin as an adjunct treatment of T1D. CATT1 is one of several trials that are planned to form the core of the future regulatory registrational submission for cadisegliatin, a potential first-in-class, oral, liver selective, glucokinase activator for T1D. In July, vTv Therapeutics announced the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) placed a clinical hold on the cadisegliatin clinical program following the discovery of a chromatographic signal in a recent human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) study of cadisegliatin that could not be resolved by standard mass spectroscopy. The FDA requires a single in vitro study to characterize this signal before the cadisegliatin program can resume. No patient was dosed in the CATT1 pivotal study at the time of the clinical hold, and past clinical studies did not reveal any clinically concerning safety issues. vTv Therapeutics is actively working with the FDA to resolve the clinical hold as quickly as possible. Cadisegliatin has previously been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA for T1D and has shown clinical potential to improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes.
•Expanded to a Global Licensing Agreement for HPP737 with Newsoara Biopharma. In June, vTv Therapeutics amended our license with Newsoara Biopharma for PDE4 inhibitor, HPP737, to make it a global license upon receipt of the required $20 million upfront fee. The terms of the amendment include up to $41 million in development milestones, up to $35 million in sales-related milestones, and royalties in the mid to upper single digits based on sales.


•Orphan Drug Designation Granted for Azeliragon. In May, Cantex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the FDA has granted Orphan Drug Designation to azeliragon, a well-tolerated once-a-day oral RAGE antagonist, for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Azeliragon has also received Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of glioblastoma. Under our license agreement with Cantex, vTv Therapeutics has the potential to receive 20 – 40% of out licensing income or the fair value of the program in the event of a sale of Cantex, or 20% of Cantex’s net profit from commercial sales. Cantex is evaluating azeliragon in several ongoing Phase 2 trials in cancer indications and one Phase 3 trial for acute kidney injury.
Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

•Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of June 30, 2024, was $45.5 million compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase is attributed to receipt of the proceeds from the private placement financing on February 27, 2024.

•Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $3.4 million and $4.7 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of $1.3 million is primarily attributable to lower spending on cadisegliatin, due to decreases in toxicity study costs and drug manufacturing related costs, partially offset by increases in clinical trial start-up costs and an increase in indirect costs and other projects.
•General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $3.7 million and $3.3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The increase of $0.4 million was primarily due to increases in share-based expense, legal expense and higher payroll costs, partially offset by lower other G&A costs.
•Other Income, Net: Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $0.2 million and was driven by gains related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our own stock. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was $0.6 million and was driven by an unrealized gain related to our investment in Reneo, as well as gains related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our own stock issued to related parties.
•Net Loss: Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $5.2 million or $0.81 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $5.6 million or $2.69 per basic share.
