(Nasdaq: VTVT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing cadisegliatin, a novel oral investigational therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D), today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Orphan Drug Designation to HPPD, the Company\u2019s oral, first-in-class Nrf2\/Bach1 modulator. HPPD is being investigated as a treatment for sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FDA\u2019s Orphan Drug Designation reinforces both the urgency of the unmet need in this devastating disease and the opportunity to bring forward potential new therapeutic approaches,\u201d said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President, and CEO of vTv Therapeutics. \u201cReceiving this designation marks an important inflection point for this program and strengthens vTv\u2019s ability to advance strategic partnering discussions for HPPD while continuing to develop cadisegliatin in T1D.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Preclinical studies conducted at Augusta University using the Townes sickle cell disease mouse model showed that HPPD was orally active and well tolerated, increased fetal hemoglobin, and reduced oxidative stress and red blood cell sickling. These findings support the continued development of HPPD in sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Sickle Cell Disease <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Sickle cell disease is a lifelong, inherited blood disease characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, recurrent vaso-occlusive pain crises, oxidative stress, progressive organ damage, and reduced quality of life. It affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States; more than 90% are non-Hispanic Black or African American, and an estimated 3-9% are Hispanic or Latino.<sup>i<\/sup> Although induction of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) remains a validated disease-modifying strategy and hydroxyurea is an important, approved HbF-inducing therapy, many patients continue to face inadequate response, tolerability challenges, or persistent complications.<sup>ii<\/sup> These ongoing gaps show the need for additional oral therapies with novel mechanisms of action that may help address the underlying biology of sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About HPPD<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>HPPD (HPP8668) is an investigational, oral, first-in-class Nrf2\/Bach1 modulator being developed by vTv Therapeutics for the treatment of sickle cell disease. Preclinical studies in the Townes sickle cell disease mouse model have shown that HPPD induces fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with effects comparable to or exceeding hydroxy urea, the current standard HbF-inducing therapy. In addition to HbF induction, HPPD showed reductions in oxidative stress and sickled red blood cells, supporting its potential as a disease-modifying oral therapy with a differentiated mechanism of action. HPPD is under investigation, and 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.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Cadisegliatin<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small-molecule, glucokinase activator being investigated in the U.S. as a potential first-in-class adjunctive treatment for T1D. In nonclinical studies, cadisegliatin acted selectively on the liver and increased the activity of glucokinase independently of insulin. These studies 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).<\/p>\n<p>Cadisegliatin is under investigation, and its safety and efficacy have not been established.
