vTv Therapeutics Announces 2024 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update
Clinical hold lifted for late stage cadisegliatin program for diabetes
CATT1 Phase 3 trial in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) expected to resume Q2 2025
Strengthens commercial leadership with appointment of Martin Lafontaine as Chief Commercial Officer

HIGH POINT, N.C., March 20, 2025 – vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a clinical 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, and provided an update on recent corporate developments.
“We are thrilled our cadisegliatin clinical program can resume following the lifting of the clinical hold by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We expect to resume our Phase 3 CATT1 trial in patients with T1D in the second quarter of 2025 following submission of a protocol amendment shortening the trial duration from 12 to 6 months,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of vTv Therapeutics. “Importantly, this amendment accelerates the time to topline data and allows initiation of our required pivotal studies sooner by forgoing an additional 6-month safety assessment with no impact on the original key endpoints of the study.”
Mr. Sekhri continued, “As we approach our next stage of growth, we are pleased to have strengthened our commercial leadership with the appointment of Martin Lafontaine as our Chief Commercial Officer. Martin brings a wealth of commercial experience in diabetes which will position us for success as we prepare to further progress across our registrational program for cadisegliatin.”
Recent Company Highlights
•Clinical Hold Lifted for Cadisegliatin Program. In March 2025, vTv Therapeutics announced that the clinical hold placed by the FDA in July 2024 on the cadisegliatin clinical program was lifted on March 14, 2025, following the Company’s submission of a complete response letter. The CATT1 Phase 3 trial is expected to resume in Q2 2025.
•Planned Submission of CATT1 Phase 3 Trial Protocol Amended. The Company plans to amend the protocol for the CATT1 Phase 3 trial in patients with T1D to reduce the duration of the trial from twelve months to six months by forgoing an additional 6-month safety assessment with no impact on the original key endpoints of the study.
•Strengthens Commercial Leadership. Today, vTv Therapeutics announced that Martin Lafontaine has joined the Company as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to advance late stage cadisegliatin program.

•Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of December 31, 2024, was $36.7 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.

•Interest Income: Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was $0.4 million is related to interest and dividend income from our money market account. Interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023, was immaterial.

•Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $11.5 million and $13.6 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

About vTv Therapeutics
Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small molecule, liver selective glucokinase activator being investigated as a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive treatment to insulin for type 1 diabetes (T1D). In nonclinical 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.
