Windtree Therapeutics (NASDAQ:WINT) has secured a new U.S. patent for istaroxime, its drug candidate for treating acute heart failure (AHF). The patent (application #18/150,870) covers istaroxime-containing intravenous formulation and extends protection until 2039.

The drug has already demonstrated success in two Phase 2 AHF studies and two early cardiogenic shock studies. This development is particularly significant as AHF affects 1.3 million hospitalized patients annually in the U.S. and represents the leading cause of hospitalization for patients over 65 years old.

Windtree Therapeutics (NASDAQ:WINT) has achieved its target enrollment of 20 patients for the interim analysis of its Phase 2 SEISMiC C study, evaluating istaroxime in SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock patients. The study represents the third trial in the company's istaroxime cardiogenic shock development program, following two previously successful Phase 2 studies in SCAI Stage B patients.

The SEISMiC C trial is a global, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study conducted across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. The study evaluates istaroxime in combination with standard care treatments, including inotropes and vasopressors. The primary endpoint focuses on systolic blood pressure profile during the first six hours of treatment.

The interim analysis will primarily assess preliminary safety, tolerability, and efficacy signals to determine appropriate sizing for the remainder of the trial. The company notes that a statistically significant efficacy signal is not expected at this interim stage. The data from this study will be crucial for Phase 3 readiness and upcoming FDA discussions.

Windtree Therapeutics (NASDAQ:WINT) has secured a contract with a Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturer to produce PHEXXI, Evofem's hormone-free contraceptive gel, at significantly reduced costs. The manufacturing agreement is expected to cut PHEXXI production costs by over 50% by the end of 2026.

The technology transfer process has begun, with early-stage manufacturing scheduled to start later in 2025. This arrangement, stemming from Windtree's March 2025 License and Supply Agreement with Evofem, is anticipated to generate revenue for Windtree starting in 2026. PHEXXI has shown four consecutive years of net sales growth, with plans for international expansion beginning with a marketing approval submission in the UAE.

Windtree Therapeutics (WINT) announced the publication of positive Phase 2 SEISMiC B study results for istaroxime in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. The study demonstrated significant efficacy in treating early cardiogenic shock, with istaroxime increasing blood pressure over 6 hours and maintaining effects for 60 hours. Key benefits included improved cardiac output, decreased pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, no increase in heart rate, no significant arrhythmias, and preserved renal function. The company is in partnership discussions to fund remaining clinical development, targeting the $1.25 billion cardiogenic shock market. Windtree plans to release interim data from the SEISMiC C trial in July and is finalizing Phase 3 protocol design for acute heart failure indication in China with a regional partner.
