Altimmune, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that new data showing reductions of multiple classes of atherogenic and cardio-inflammatory lipids in subjects treated with pemvidutide will be presented in a poster session at The Liver Meeting® 2024 of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) in San Diego, CA taking place November 15-19, 2024. The data were derived from Altimmune's 12-week Phase 1b randomized, placebo-controlled study in subjects with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a precursor to the more serious metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). The Company has completed enrollment in a Phase 2b efficacy trial of pemvidutide in patients with biopsy-confirmed F2/F3 MASH, with topline data expected in the second quarter of 2025.
