WALTHAM, Mass., March 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aerovate Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVTE), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing drugs that meaningfully improve the lives of patients with rare cardiopulmonary disease, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023, and recent business highlights.
“Aerovate reached important milestones in 2023 with the achievement of full enrollment of the Phase 2b portion and the first patient enrolled in the Phase 3 portion of our IMPAHCT trial evaluating AV-101 for patients with PAH,” said Tim Noyes, Chief Executive Officer of Aerovate. “In 2024, we look forward to presenting baseline characteristics of IMPAHCT at the ATS international conference in May, as well as announcing Phase 2b topline data in June with the full Phase 2b clinical trial results to be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting. We remain confident that delivering our proprietary formulation of imatinib directly to the pulmonary vasculature via inhalation has the potential to achieve robust efficacy with a low side effect burden in PAH patients on two or three background therapies. As such, we continue to believe that AV-101 has the potential to be an important part of the future standard of care for PAH patients.”

Enrollment Complete and Topline Data Expected in June 2024 from Phase 2b Portion of the IMPAHCT Global Phase 2b/Phase 3 Clinical Trial. IMPAHCT (Inhaled iMatinib Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Clinical Trial) is a global Phase 2b/Phase 3 trial of AV-101, our self-administered, twice daily dry powder inhaled formulation of the antiproliferative drug imatinib for the treatment of PAH.
