Altimmune, Inc. is a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for serious liver diseases. Our lead product candidate, pemvidutide (formerly known as ALT-801), is a balanced 1:1 glucagon/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist in development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis ( MASH ), alcohol use disorder ( AUD ) and alcohol-associated liver disease ( ALD ). We may also pursue additional indications for pemvidutide that leverage its differentiated clinical profile. Except where the context indicates otherwise, references to we, us, our, Altimmune , or the Company refer to the company and its subsidiaries. Pemvidutide We obtained pemvidutide as part of the acquisition Spitfire Pharma Inc., in July of 2019. Pemvidutide was designed as a MASH therapeutic based on the understanding that targeting both metabolic and liver-specific effects could lead to an improved and differentiated candidate. Early work provided compelling preclinical efficacy data obtained from a mouse model of MASH. Following a first-in-human clinical trial where we observed initial signs of weight loss and pronounced liver effects, we evaluated pemvidutide in participants with fatty liver disease, or metabolic-dysfunction associated liver disease (MASLD), where we observed robust reductions in liver fat content and weight loss. These results confirmed the earlier study and paved the way for the biopsy-driven IMPACT Phase 2b trial in MASH.
