About vTv Therapeutics

vTv Therapeutics Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of orally administered small molecule drug candidates to fill significant unmet medical needs. vTv has a pipeline of clinical drug candidates led by programs for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and type 2 diabetes as well as treatment of inflammatory disorders and the prevention of muscle weakness.

The company's Alzheimer’s disease drug candidate, azeliragon, is a novel oral small molecule antagonist of the Receptor for Advance Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) with first-in-class potential.

The azeliragon development program has been granted Fast Track Designation and agreement on its Phase 3 protocol has been reached with FDA via a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA). Enrollment of part A of the Phase 3 STEADFAST study in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease was completed during the third quarter and topline data from this part of the study is anticipated to be reported in early 2018.

vTv is also pursuing the clinical development of TTP399, a novel liver selective Glucokinase Activator (GKA) with first-in-class potential for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The company recently announced positive top line results from the six month phase 2b AGATA Study in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

vTv’s second diabetes drug candidate, TTP273, is an oral, small molecule GLP-1R agonist with best-in-class potential. The company reported the completion of enrollment of the three month Phase 2 LOGRA study in the third quarter with data readout expected at the end of 2016. The previous Phase 1b trial of TTP273 demonstrated robust effects on postprandial and fasting glucose. All doses of TTP273 were well tolerated with no serious adverse events or evidence of gastrointestinal side effects compared to placebo.
