Welcome to our dedicated page for Aerovate Therapeutics news (Ticker: AVTE), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Aerovate Therapeutics stock.
Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVTE) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative drugs to improve the lives of patients with rare cardiopulmonary diseases. The company's primary focus is on advancing AV-101, an investigational, proprietary dry powder inhaled formulation of the drug imatinib, designed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
AV-101 targets cellular hyperproliferation and resistance to apoptosis in the pulmonary arteries. This novel approach aims to provide benefits beyond existing treatments. Patients use a pocket-sized device for easy inhalation, which ensures direct delivery to the lungs, maximizing therapeutic effects while minimizing systemic side effects. Phase 1 clinical trials showed that AV-101 is well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.
Currently, Aerovate is progressing through the IMPAHCT (Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial) study. This multi-national, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b/Phase 3 trial evaluates the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of AV-101. The Phase 2b portion has completed enrollment of 202 adult patients, and Aerovate plans to report topline data in June 2024. Meanwhile, the Phase 3 portion has begun with the first patient enrolled, and more than 120 sites are actively recruiting.
Aerovate has outlined significant recent achievements, including the completion of Phase 2b enrollment and the presentation of baseline characteristics at the ATS 2024 International Conference. The primary endpoint for Phase 3 will be the placebo-corrected change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) over 24 weeks.
PAH is a progressive disease affecting around 70,000 individuals in the US and Europe. It leads to abnormal cellular proliferation in the pulmonary vasculature, causing heart strain, limited physical activity, and decreased life expectancy. Aerovate's dedication to developing AV-101 offers potential new therapeutic options for these patients.

Aerovate Therapeutics (Nasdaq: AVTE) announced on July 8, 2024, that it will explore strategic alternatives after halting Phase 3 of its Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial (IMPAHCT) and the associated long-term extension study. To maximize shareholder value, Aerovate has engaged Wedbush PacGrow as its exclusive strategic financial advisor. Potential options include an acquisition, merger, reverse merger, business combination, liquidation, or other transactions. However, there is no assurance that any of these options will be pursued or completed successfully. Aerovate has not set a timeline for this review and will only provide updates when a definitive action is approved or if further disclosure is deemed necessary.
Aerovate Therapeutics announced 24-week topline results from the Phase 2b portion of the IMPAHCT trial evaluating AV-101 for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The trial did not meet its primary endpoint of reducing pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) or secondary endpoint of improving six-minute walk distance (6MWD) for any studied dose. AV-101 was well-tolerated at all doses but failed to show meaningful benefits in additional secondary endpoints as well. Consequently, Aerovate will halt the Phase 3 portion and the long-term extension study of IMPAHCT. The company aims to engage with the PAH community to discuss the results and plans to release full data later. As of June 15, 2024, Aerovate holds approximately $100 million in cash and equivalents.
Aerovate Therapeutics presented baseline data from the Phase 2b portion of the IMPAHCT trial at the ATS 2024 International Conference. The trial is evaluating AV-101, an inhaled formulation of imatinib, for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The 202 adult patients involved are predominantly in WHO functional classes II and III, with 57% on triple background therapy. The study design aims to balance efficacy, safety, and tolerability of AV-101. Topline Phase 2b data will be released in June 2024, with Phase 3 enrollment ongoing across over 120 global sites. The company aims to advance AV-101 development to address unmet needs in PAH treatment.
Aerovate Therapeutics (Nasdaq: AVTE) has announced its Q1 2024 financial results and business updates. Key developments include the expected topline data release in June 2024 from the Phase 2b IMPAHCT trial for AV-101 in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Enrollment for Phase 3 of IMPAHCT is ongoing, involving over 120 sites globally. The company will present Phase 2b baseline characteristics at the ATS 2024 Conference. Financially, Aerovate raised $23.6 million in April and reported $99.3 million in cash and short-term investments as of March 31, 2024. R&D expenses rose to $20.1 million, G&A expenses to $4.5 million, and the net loss for the quarter was $23.2 million. The firm projects a cash runway into 2026.
