Applied Therapeutics to present data from study of caficrestat in DbCM

Applied Therapeutics announced that it will present full results from the Phase 3 ARISE-HF study evaluating AT-001 caficrestat in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy DbCM in an oral presentation at the 2024 American College of Cardiology ACC Annual Scientific Session to take place April 6-8, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company announced topline results from ARISE-HF in January 2024, demonstrating a strong trend in stabilizing cardiac functional capacity with AT-001 treatment, and a statistically significant difference in cardiac functional capacity in a prespecified subgroup of patients not receiving concomitant treatment with an SGLT2 or GLP-1 while preventing clinically significant worsening. The presentation at ACC will also include important data on progression to overt heart failure and other secondary outcome measures. AT-001 treatment prevented progression to overt heart failure in patients with DbCM as compared to placebo. Detailed safety data will also be presented, demonstrating that AT-001 was safe and well tolerated in a large cohort of patients, providing proof of concept that the technology has overcome the selectivity and safety issues of “old” aldose reductase inhibitors. The oral presentation at ACC will be followed by simultaneous publication of the study results in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology Journal JACC.
