•   First study participant randomized in Phase 3 CATT1 trial evaluating cadisegliatin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes with data expected in second half of 2026

•   Cadisegliatin intellectual property portfolio expanded

•   Leadership team strengthened

HIGH POINT, N.C., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a late-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 second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.

“The randomization of the first participant in our CATT1 Phase 3 trial earlier this month reflects our continued momentum in advancing cadisegliatin,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and CEO of vTv Therapeutics. “Cadisegliatin is designed to selectively activate glucokinase in the liver, a differentiated approach that may improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used alongside insulin. Hypoglycemic episodes remain frequent, life-disruptive, and sometimes life-threatening for people with type 1 diabetes. We believe cadisegliatin could play a meaningful role in addressing this large unmet medical need.”

Recent Company Highlights

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of June 30, 2025, was $25.9 million compared to $36.7 million as of December 31, 2024.

• Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $4.1 million and $3.4 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase reflects higher indirect costs primarily related to payroll expenses. This was partially offset by lower spending on cadisegliatin and other projects.

• General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $3.6 million and $3.7 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in other operating costs. This was partially offset by an increase in payroll related costs.

• Other Income, Net: Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was immaterial. 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 issued to related parties.

• Net Loss: Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was $6.0 million or $0.92 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $5.2 million or $0.81 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 for type 1 diabetes (T1D). In non-clinical 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.
