HIGH POINT, N.C., Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- vTv Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: VTVT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing cadisegliatin, a novel oral investigational therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update. The Company expects to complete enrollment in the Phase 3 CATT1 trial in the third quarter of 2026. Based on its current cash position at the end of the second quarter of 2026, vTv expects to have sufficient cash to fund operations through the anticipated CATT1 topline data readout. In the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company also plans to host a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) event focused on T1D, the burden of managing hypoglycemia without compromising glycemic control, and cadisegliatin’s potential to address this significant unmet need.
“Cadisegliatin has been specifically designed to address the significant unmet need of hypoglycemia, a major limiting factor in achieving optimal blood glucose control in T1D,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President, and CEO of vTv Therapeutics. “We look forward to discussing cadisegliatin’s potential with leading experts in T1D at our planned fourth-quarter KOL event. With cash runway through our anticipated topline data readout, we are focused on advancing development of the potential first oral adjunctive therapy for people with T1D.”

About vTv Therapeutics
vTv Therapeutics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing oral, small molecule drug candidates intended to help treat people living with diabetes and other chronic diseases. vTv’s clinical pipeline is led by cadisegliatin, a potential first-in-class oral glucokinase activator being investigated in a U.S. Phase 3 study for the treatment of T1D. vTv and its development partners are investigating multiple molecules across different indications for chronic diseases.

About Cadisegliatin
Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small molecule, liver-selective glucokinase activator being investigated in the U.S. as a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive treatment for T1D. In non-clinical studies, cadisegliatin acted selectively on the liver and increased the activity of glucokinase independently from 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).
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.
