Inhibikase Advances IKT-001 Clinical Study and Receives FDA Orphan Drug Designation

"During our second quarter and in recent weeks we continued to advance our Phase 3 IMPROVE-PAH study with 26 country regulatory approvals together with the recent initiation of 43 clinical sites across a range of countries," said Mark Iwicki, Chief Executive Officer of Inhibikase. "Also, during the quarter, favorable results of pre-clinical and Phase 1 studies of IKT-001 were presented at the American Thoracic Society International Conference, with data demonstrating improvements in pulmonary vascular and hemodynamic markers of PAH and lower potential for GI toxicity compared to imatinib mesylate. Together with the recent grant of Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. FDA and the $50 million proceeds from the sale of shares to RA Capital, Inhibikase is well-positioned to advance IKT-001 toward its potential as the first once-daily oral anti-proliferative offering significant potential benefits to the PAH patient population."
