Publication. In June, results of a Phase 1 trial that assessed the effects of TTP399 on ketoacidosis risk in individuals with T1D on insulin pump therapy during acute insulin withdrawal was published in Diabetes Obesity and Metabolism (https://doi.org/10.1111/dom.14697) and presented at The American Diabetes Association’s 82nd Scientific Sessions on June 5, 2022. The results suggested that TTP399 does not increase, and may decrease, the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in subjects with T1D. Partnership. On May 31, 2022, the Company entered into agreements with G42 Healthcare (“G42”) and an affiliate. G42 agreed to acquire $25.0 million in vTv Class A common stock at approximately $2.41 per share with $12.5 million paid at closing and the remaining $12.5 million payable on May 31, 2023. The agreements also provide for the potential issuance of $30.0 million in additional shares of Class A common stock to G42 (or cash in lieu of such issuance at the option of G42) if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the marketing and sale of a pharmaceutical product containing TTP399. vTv and an affiliate of G42 plan to collaborate on clinical trials for pharmaceutical products that contain TTP399, including G42’s affiliate funding a portion of the Phase 3 clinical trials for TTP399, and vTv granting G42’s affiliate an exclusive license to develop and commercialize pharmaceutical products containing TTP399 in certain territories in the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia. Upcoming Milestones and Events Pivotal Study Planning. The Company is planning two pivotal, placebo-controlled clinical trials of TTP399 in subjects with T1D and has engaged with the FDA on the optimal clinical trial designs for these studies. The studies will recruit a total of approximately 1,000 patients and at least one of the studies will be one year of treatment. The FDA and the Company have agreed on the primary endpoint for the studies as the difference between placebo and TTP399-treated group in number of hypoglycemia events. These pivotal studies are expected to start in the fourth quarter of 2022. Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results Cash Position: The Company’s cash position as of June 30, 2022, was $17.9 million compared to $13.4 million as of December 31, 2021. Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $2.2 million and $2.4 million in each of the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The decrease of $0.2 million is attributable to a decrease in clinical trial costs for azeliragon, which was mainly driven by discontinuance of its development as a potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in patients with type 2 diabetes and a decrease in spending related to a multiple ascending dose study for HPP737, due to its completion in 2021, offset by higher spending on TTP399 due to trial preparation costs.General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $1.8 million and $2.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The decrease was due to lower payroll costs and lower share-based expense partially offset by higher legal expense and higher other G&A costs.Other (Expense)/Income: Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $0.1 million and was driven by an unrealized loss related to the investment in Reneo as well as the gains related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our own stock issued to a related party (“Related Party Warrants”). Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, was $3.8 million and was related to the unrealized gain recognized related to the investment in Reneo as well as gains related to the change in the fair value of the outstanding warrants in our own stock held by a related party.Net Loss: Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was $3.2 million or $0.04 per basic share. Net loss attributable to vTv shareholders for the comparable period a year ago was $0.6 million or $0.01 per basic share. vTv Therapeutics Inc.Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets(in thousands) June 30,2022 December 31,2021 (Unaudited) Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents$17,863 $13,415 Accounts receivable 77 57 Promissory note receivable 11,941 — Prepaid expenses and other current assets 643 2,049 Current deposits 85 100 Total current assets 30,609 15,621 Property and equipment, net 254 278 Operating lease right-of-use assets 354 402 Long-term investments 5,772 9,173 Total assets$36,989 $25,474 Liabilities, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Stockholders’ Deficit Current liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued expenses$9,600 $8,023 Current portion of operating lease liabilities 199 184 Current portion of contract liabilities 26 35 Current portion of notes payable — 256 Total current liabilities 9,825 8,498 Contract liabilities, net of current portion 18,669 — Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion 388 492 Warrant liability, related party 717 1,262 Total liabilities 29,599 10,252 Commitments and contingencies Redeemable noncontrolling interest 15,916 24,962 Stockholders’ deficit: Class A Common Stock 773 669 Class B Common Stock 232 232 Additional paid-in capital 243,772 238,193 Accumulated deficit (253,303) (248,834)Total stockholders’ deficit attributable to vTv Therapeutics Inc.
