WALTHAM, Mass., March 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVTE), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing drugs that improve the lives of patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease, today announced an upcoming poster presentation at the 2024 American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference taking place May 17-22, 2024, in San Diego, CA. The presentation will provide baseline characteristics from patients enrolled in the dose-ranging Phase 2b portion of the Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial (IMPAHCT), a Phase 2b/Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of AV-101 in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

“We look forward to presenting baseline characteristics of the Phase 2b portion of the IMPAHCT trial in our poster presentation at the upcoming ATS conference in May,” said Tim Noyes, Chief Executive Officer at Aerovate Therapeutics. “These data will provide insight into the IMPAHCT patient population as we continue Phase 3 trial recruitment globally and expect to present top line Phase 2b data in June.”

Details for the poster presentation are as follows:

Poster Session: C62. Top Gun: Novel Therapeutics And Outcomes In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2024
Presentation Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. PT
Location: Session Room TDP29
Abstract: Baseline characteristics from the IMPAHCT trial of AV-101, inhaled imatinib, in subjects with pulmonary arterial hypertension
Presenter: Hunter Gillies, MBChB

The poster abstract is available now on the 2024 ATS website. The abstract includes data from 147 patients, and the poster presentation on May 21st will include baseline characteristics for all 202 Phase 2b patients.

About AV-101

AV-101 is an investigational, proprietary dry powder inhaled formulation of the antiproliferative drug imatinib. Developed specifically for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), AV-101 targets cellular hyperproliferation and resistance to apoptosis, driven by improper signaling in cells of the distal pulmonary arteries. By targeting the proliferation and accumulation of cells in the arteries of the lungs, we believe AV-101 has the potential to provide meaningful improvements for patients beyond the capabilities of currently approved therapies. AV-101 is designed for delivery by an easy-to-use dry powder inhaler, directly into the lungs to maximize potential clinical benefit and limit systemic adverse effects. Phase 1 results published in ERJ Open Research showed that AV-101 delivered by dry powder inhalation was generally well-tolerated by healthy adult volunteers with no serious adverse events reported. Aerovate has completed enrollment in the Phase 2b portion of the IMPAHCT clinical trial and is currently enrolling patients in the Phase 3 portion to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AV-101 in adults with PAH.

About the IMPAHCT Trial

IMPAHCT (Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial) is a multi-national, placebo-controlled Phase 2b/Phase 3 trial in adults with PAH that continuously enrolled patients from Phase 2b to Phase 3. The Phase 2b portion of the trial will evaluate three doses of AV-101 over 24 weeks, compared to placebo, to identify an optimal dose based on the primary endpoint, change in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and safety, tolerability, and other clinical measures. The Phase 3 portion of the trial will compare patients taking the optimal dose of AV-101, selected from the Phase 2b data to placebo. The primary endpoint of the Phase 3 portion of the trial will be change in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) over 24 weeks versus placebo. More information about this trial is available at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05036135.
