\n Seasoned clinical leader to oversee Phase 3 development of pemvidutide in MASH<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

\n Dr. Arbet-Engels has led late-stage development, regulatory approvals and commercial launches for multiple successful franchises<\/em>\n <\/p>\n

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Altimmune, Inc.<\/a> (Nasdaq: ALT), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel peptide-based therapeutics for liver and cardiometabolic diseases, today announced the appointment of Christophe Arbet-Engels, MD, PhD as Chief Medical Officer, effective October 1, 2025. Dr. Arbet-Engels joins the Company with more than 30 years of experience spanning industry, academia and private practice, and will lead the ongoing clinical development of pemvidutide including the planned Phase 3 trial in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). He succeeds Scott Harris, M.D., who earlier this year informed the Company of his plans to retire from the position. Dr. Harris will remain with the Company as a Senior Strategic Advisor until February 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome Christophe to the team at this crucial juncture in Altimmune\u2019s evolution,\u201d said Vipin K. Garg, Ph.D., President and CEO of Altimmune. \u201cHe brings a wealth of experience across mid- and late-stage clinical development, regulatory approvals and commercial launches that will be invaluable as we continue to advance pemvidutide and work toward our mission of establishing a new standard of care in the treatment of hepato-metabolic disorders. On behalf of the executive team and Board of Directors, I would also like to thank Scott for his instrumental contributions over the last six years. His oversight of the pemvidutide program through multiple INDs and clinical trials has positioned us well as we prepare to enter Phase 3 development in MASH.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Arbet-Engels added, \u201cI am proud to join the talented leadership team at Altimmune and excited to lead the development of a therapy as promising as pemvidutide. The data generated to date reinforces the highly differentiated profile of pemvidutide as well as its category-leading potential in MASH. With upcoming 48 week data from the IMPACT trial in MASH, as well as the ongoing Phase 2 trials in Alcohol Use Disorder and Alcohol-associated Liver Disease, pemvidutide presents an exciting opportunity to disrupt the treatment paradigm in three highly prevalent indications and potentially address multiple significant unmet medical needs. I look forward to working closely with Vipin and the rest of the team as we advance to the End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA and continue working toward the initiation of the Phase 3 trial in MASH.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Arbet-Engels joins Altimmune from X4 Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: XFOR), where he served as Chief Medical Officer since 2023. While at X4, he contributed extensively to the successful regulatory process for Xolremdi (mavorixafor), which was approved in 2024 for WHIM Syndrome, and led late-stage clinical programs for mavorixafor in Chronic Neutropenia. Previously, he was Chief Medical Officer at Neurogastrx, Millendo Therapeutics, and Poxel Pharmaceuticals, where he led the clinical development and approval in Japan of Twymeeg for diabetes. Earlier in his career, he held several senior-level medical and clinical positions including at Biogen,\u00a0Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals,\u00a0Hoffmann-La Roche,\u00a0Merck Research Laboratories,\u00a0Aventis Pharmaceuticals, and Ligand Pharmaceuticals, where he led clinical development and registration, launch and lifecycle management efforts for a variety of products including LANTUS\u00ae and JARDIANCE\u00ae. Prior to his career in industry, Dr. Arbet-Engels served in educational roles at\u00a0The Salk Institute for Biological Studies,\u00a0University of Paris VI, and the Assistance Publique, Hospitals of\u00a0Paris, and he currently serves as a Member of the\u00a0Board of Tutors\u00a0in Biochemical Sciences at\u00a0Harvard University. Dr. Arbet-Engels received his MD and PhD in internal medicine and endocrinology\/metabolism from the\u00a0University of Paris, France, and completed his MBA at\u00a0Rutgers University.
