RAPIDe-3, a global pivotal Phase 3 study of deucrictibant for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks, currently enrollingEnd-of-Phase 2 meeting scheduled to discuss development plan of deucrictibant for the prophylaxis of HAE attacksExecuting from a strong financial position with cash and cash equivalents of €368 million as of March 31, 2024 ZUG, Switzerland, May 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pharvaris (Nasdaq: PHVS), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral bradykinin B2 receptor antagonists to treat and prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024, and provided a business update. “Pharvaris is executing from a position of financial and operational strength as we enroll in RAPIDe-3, our Phase 3 on-demand study of deucrictibant, and prepare for initiation of CHAPTER-3, our Phase 3 prophylactic study of deucrictibant,” said Berndt Modig, Chief Executive Officer of Pharvaris. “We believe deucrictibant has the potential to be the preferred therapeutic option for both the treatment and prevention of HAE attacks. Pharvaris continues to further build its team and infrastructure to support two late-stage clinical trials and prepare for the commercial launch of deucrictibant for people living with HAE.” Recent Business Updates and Highlights Development Pipeline Enrollment initiated in RAPIDe-3 (NCT06343779) a global Phase 3 clinical study. Pharvaris is currently enrolling in RAPIDe-3, a global pivotal Phase 3 study of deucrictibant immediate-release capsule (PHVS416) for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks. The primary efficacy endpoint is time to onset of symptom relief, as measured by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) rating of at least “a little better” for two consecutive timepoints within 12 hours post-treatment. Other efficacy endpoints include time to End of Progression (EoP) in attack symptoms within 12 hours as measured by PGI-C, substantial symptom relief, and proportion of attacks achieving symptom resolution with one dose of deucrictibant as measured by Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) and by Angioedema Symptom Rating Scale (AMRA).End-of-Phase 2 meeting scheduled to align on prophylactic Phase 3 clinical development plan. Pharvaris continues preparatory activities for CHAPTER-3, a proposed global Phase 3 study of deucrictibant extended-release tablets (PHVS719) for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks. An End-of-Phase 2 meeting has been scheduled with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), during which Pharvaris will seek feedback and alignment on the key elements of the proposed clinical development plan.
