vTv Therapeutics announces cadisegliatin program for type 1 diabetes placed on clinical hold.
vTv Therapeutics Inc. announced that the FDA has placed a clinical hold on the cadisegliatin clinical program which includes the ongoing CATT1 Phase III trial in type 1 diabetes. Cadisegliatin is an oral, liver selective, glucokinase activator that has been well-tolerated in over 500 subjects to date with up to six months of treatment.
The clinical hold was based on the discovery of a chromatographic signal in a recent human absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) study of cadisegliatin that could not be resolved by standard mass spectroscopy. The Agency requires a single in vitro study to characterize this signal before the cadisegliatin program can resume. No patient had been dosed in CATT1 at the time of the clinical hold, and past clinical studies did not reveal any clinically concerning safety issues.

“Patient safety is our top priority, and we appreciate the thoroughness of the FDA to better understand this signal. We are working diligently with the Agency to resolve the clinical hold and resume enrollment as quickly as possible,” said Paul Sekhri, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of vTv Therapeutics. “Cadisegliatin demonstrated compelling efficacy and a favorable safety profile in over 500 subjects dosed to date, and we are highly encouraged at the potential of cadisegliatin to improve glycemic control and be a much-needed oral therapy for type 1 diabetes.”
