Aerovate Therapeutics reports FY23 EPS (74c), consensus (71c)

ReportsFY23 cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $122.4M as of December 31, compared to $135.2 M as of September 30. The decrease was primarily driven by operational costs for the three-month period ended December 31…”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.”
