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.
