HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of novel small molecules and a lead program in diabetes, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.
“Our cadisegliatin program continues to show promise as a new oral adjunct therapy being investigated for improvement in glycemic control and reduction of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes. During the quarter, our team made progress addressing the basis for the clinical hold placed on our clinical program by the Food and Drug Administration in July,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of vTv Therapeutics. “We look forward to continuing our discussion with the FDA regarding the clinical hold and our clinical program for cadisegliatin.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of September 30, 2024, was $41.6 million compared to $9.4 million as of December 31, 2023. This increase is largely due to proceeds from the private placement financing on February 27, 2024, and additional funds from the ATM Offering during the quarter ended September 30, 2024.Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $3.2 million and $2.8 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, 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 costs in toxicity studies and drug manufacturing, countered by increased clinical trial start-up costs.General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $3.3 million and $2.5 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in share-based expense, legal expense and higher payroll costs.Other Income (Expense), Net: Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $0.2 million and was driven by gains related to the change in the fair value of the warrants to purchase shares of our own stock. Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $3.3 million and was driven by an impairment charge on a cost-method investment. This was partially offset by an unrealized gain from the Company’s investment in OnKure and gains from changes in the fair value of 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 September 30, 2024, was $4.8 million or $0.88 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $6.7 million or $3.19 per basic share.
