IMPACT Trial Success
Pembiguate achieved statistical significance in the primary endpoint of NASH resolution and across multiple objective measures of efficacy, including noninvasive markers of inflammation and fibrosis, liver fat reduction, and weight loss at 24 weeks.
Strong Financial Position
Altimmune concluded the second quarter with $183.1 million in cash, marking a 40% increase over the start of the year, boosted by $88 million in gross equity capital and a $100 million Hercules debt facility.
Advancement in Phase II Trials
Phase II trials in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (ALD) are underway, with promising potential given the unmet needs in these areas.
Potentially Class-Leading Safety and Tolerability
Pembiguate demonstrated excellent tolerability without dose titration, with only a single adverse event-related discontinuation in the treatment arms.
