Altimmune, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, presented data on its GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist candidate, pemvidutide, at the American Diabetes Association’s 84th Annual Scientific Sessions. Pemvidutide showed significant reductions in pro-inflammatory serum lipids, including total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides, by 28%, 26%, and 38% respectively. These lipid reductions were not linked to weight loss, implying a direct impact on lipid metabolism. The Phase 1 study involved 34 subjects receiving varying doses of pemvidutide or placebo for 12 weeks. Additionally, reductions in GlycA and GlycB, markers of systemic inflammation, and decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were noted, suggesting a potential lowered cardiovascular disease risk.
Altimmune, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company listed on Nasdaq under the symbol ALT, will participate in the Piper Sandler 2nd Annual Virtual Obesity Investor Day on June 26, 2024.

Altimmune (Nasdaq: ALT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, will present data on their investigational drug, pemvidutide, at the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 84th Scientific Sessions from June 21-24, 2024, in Orlando, FL.
Pemvidutide, a GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist, is being developed for obesity and NASH treatment. Two key presentations include:
- Dr. John J. Suschak discussing the effects of pemvidutide on cardioinflammatory lipids on June 22 at 4:45 PM EDT.

Details will be available on Altimmune's website.
Altimmune presented new data at the EASL International Liver Congress 2024 highlighting the potential of pemvidutide in treating Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH). The data from Phase 1 trials indicate significant improvements in non-invasive tests, suggesting potential histologic benefits by Q1 2025. The trials show that pemvidutide's dual GLP-1/glucagon agonism could outperform GLP-1 alone in resolving MASH and reducing fibrosis. Additionally, lipidomic profiling supports its potential in addressing MASH-related co-morbidities like cardiovascular disease. Pemvidutide is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2b trial.
