HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 06, 2025 (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 third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.

"The third quarter saw a series of meaningful achievements," said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and CEO of vTv Therapeutics.

Recent Company Highlights

Strengthened Balance Sheet with $80 Million Private Placement. In September 2025, vTv announced the successful closing of an $80 million private placement with new and existing healthcare investors as well as the T1D Fund. The proceeds are expected to fund the ongoing CATT1 Phase 3 trial and continued development of the cadisegliatin program for the treatment of T1D.
First Study Participant Randomized in Cadisegliatin Phase 3 Trial. In August 2025, vTv Therapeutics announced that the first study participant was randomized in the Company's CATT1 Phase 3 trial evaluating cadisegliatin as an adjunctive therapy to insulin for the treatment of T1D. Topline data from the study is expected in the second half of 2026.
Patent Allowance for Crystalline Salt Form of Cadisegliatin. In August 2025, the United States Patent and Trademark Office allowed claims for a patent application directed to compositions of matter of crystalline forms of salts and co-crystals of cadisegliatin. The patent term runs through 2041.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position: The Company's cash position as of September 30, 2025, was $98.5 million compared to $36.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $7.0 million and $3.2 million in each of the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase reflects higher spending on cadisegliatin, and other projects and higher indirect costs primarily related to the Novo Nordisk license milestone accrual and increases in payroll and share-based expenses.
General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $3.7 million and $3.3 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increases in payroll and legal expenses.
Other (Expense)/Income, Net: Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was immaterial. Other income of $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was driven by gains related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our own stock.
Net Loss: Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $8.7 million or $1.08 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $4.8 million or $0.88 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 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.
