Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALT#NASDAQ">ALT</a>), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel peptide-based therapeutics for liver and cardiometabolic diseases, today announced that it has enrolled the first subject in the RECLAIM Phase 2 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pemvidutide in subjects with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Pemvidutide is a novel, investigational GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist under development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), obesity, AUD and alcohol liver disease (ALD). IMPACT, a Phase 2b trial of pemvidutide in MASH, is expected to read out topline data in the second quarter of 2025, and a Phase 2 trial of pemvidutide in ALD is expected to initiate enrollment in the third quarter of 2025.
RECLAIM is a randomized, placebo-controlled trial being conducted at approximately 15 sites in the United States, with Dr. Henry Kranzler, Karl E. Rickels Professor of Psychiatry and Director, Center for Studies of Addiction at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, serving as the Principal Investigator. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 100 subjects randomized 1:1 to receive either 2.4 mg pemvidutide or placebo weekly for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial is a change in alcohol consumption, assessed as the change from baseline in the average number of heavy drinking days per week at Week 24, with the key secondary endpoints including the proportion of subjects achieving a 2-level reduction in World Health Organization (WHO) risk drinking level and the absolute change from baseline in average levels of phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a serum biomarker of alcohol intake. An investigational new drug (IND) application for pemvidutide in AUD was filed in December 2024 and was cleared by FDA in January 2025.
