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."

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.
