vTv Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Phase 3 CATT1 completion of enrollment on track for the third quarter of 2026

Strong balance sheet expected to fund operations through anticipated CATT1 topline data readout

HIGH POINT, N.C., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:VTVT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of cadisegliatin, a novel, 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, 2026, and provided a corporate update. The Company continues to advance its Phase 3 CATT1 trial, with enrollment on track for completion in the third quarter of 2026. vTv expects its current cash position to be sufficient to fund operations through the anticipated CATT1 topline data readout, positioning the Company to reach this key value inflection point with cash currently on hand.

"We are executing with focus and discipline as we advance cadisegliatin, a potentially transformative, first-in-class oral therapy for people living with type 1 diabetes," said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President, and CEO of vTv Therapeutics. "Enrollment in our Phase 3 CATT1 trial continues to progress steadily, supported by expanded site activation and strong engagement from both investigators and patients. Importantly, with our recently strengthened balance sheet, we are well-capitalized to deliver on completion of enrollment and the anticipated topline data readout and drive long-term value for shareholders."

Recent Company Highlights

• Phase 3 CATT1 Trial Progressing: Enrollment is ongoing in the Phase 3 CATT1 trial evaluating cadisegliatin as an oral adjunctive therapy to insulin in individuals with T1D. The Company expects to complete enrollment in the third quarter of 2026, supported by expanded site activation and increased investigator and patient engagement.
• License Amendment Adds Non-Dilutive Capital: In February 2026, the Company announced an amendment to its license agreement with Newsoara Biopharma, granting Newsoara global rights to the Company's highly selective PDE4 inhibitor, HPP737. Under the amended agreement, the Company received a $20.0 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to approximately $50.0 million in development milestones, up to $65.0 million in sales milestones, and tiered royalties on net sales. The transaction strengthens the Company's balance sheet and maintains strategic focus on advancing cadisegliatin.

• Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, were $98.1 million, compared to $88.9 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase reflects the $20.0 million upfront payment received under the recent amendment to the Newsoara license, partially offset by operating expenditures.

About Cadisegliatin

Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small molecule, liver-selective glucokinase activator being investigated in the U.S. as a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive treatment for type 1 diabetes (T1D). In non-clinical studies, cadisegliatin acted selectively on the liver and increased glucokinase activity independently of insulin. These findings support clinical investigation of whether cadisegliatin can improve glycemic control through hepatic glucose uptake and glycogen storage. Cadisegliatin has been granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

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.
