• Ongoing screening in CATT1 Phase 3 trial evaluating cadisegliatin in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D)
• Topline Phase 3 data for cadisegliatin expected in 2H 2026

HIGH POINT, N.C., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of cadisegliatin, a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive therapy to insulin being investigated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D), today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.

“Our late stage cadisegliatin program is advancing with potential to be the first oral adjunct therapy for T1D,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of vTv Therapeutics. “We reinitiated screening in our Phase 3 CATT1 study and, based upon the recent protocol amendment to shorten the study from 12 to 6 months, we expect topline Phase 3 data for cadisegliatin in the second half of 2026.”

Recent Company Highlights

• Screening Reinitiated for Cadisegliatin Phase 3 Trial. In May 2025, vTv Therapeutics announced that screening has been reinitiated in the Company’s CATT1 phase 3 trial evaluating cadisegliatin as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Topline data from the study is expected in the second half of 2026.
• Protocol Amendment for CATT1 Phase 3 Trial. In April, the Company submitted a protocol amendment to reduce the overall duration of the CATT1 trial from 12 to 6 months, which will expedite time to topline data by forgoing the additional 6-month safety assessment with no impact on original key endpoints. Also based on the amendment, continuous glucose monitors (CGM) will now be provided to participants.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of March 31, 2025, was $31.1 million compared to $36.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
• Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $2.8 million and $2.6 million in each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase reflects higher indirect costs and other project-related expenses. This was partially offset by lower spending on cadisegliatin, primarily due to reduced clinical trial costs and drug manufacturing costs and lower spending on other projects.
• General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $3.7 million and $4.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll costs, legal expense and other operating costs. This was partially offset by an increase in share-based expense.
• Other Expense, Net: Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was immaterial. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $0.4 million and was driven by losses 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 March 31, 2025, was $5.1 million or $0.77 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $4.9 million or $1.17 per basic share.
  
  

About Cadisegliatin

Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small molecule, liver selective glucokinase activator being investigated as a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive treatment to insulin for type 1 diabetes (T1D). In nonclinical studies, cadisegliatin, acting selectively on the liver, increased the activity of glucokinase independently from insulin which supports clinical investigation of improvement in glycemic control through hepatic glucose uptake and glycogen storage.

Cadisegliatin is under investigation and the safety and efficacy have not been established. There is no guarantee that this product will receive health authority approval or become commercially available for the use being investigated.
