ATH-1105 is an orally delivered, positive modulator of the neurotrophic HGF system that is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial with completion expected by year end 2024 and commencement of dosing of ALS patients expected in 2025
Company announces cost containment measures in alignment with focus on advancing ATH-1105
BOTHELL, Wash., Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Athira Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:ATHA), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing small molecules to restore neuronal health and slow neurodegeneration, today announced that following the topline data readout from the Phase 2/3 LIFT-AD clinical trial of fosgonimeton to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) the Company plans to focus on advancing the clinical development program for ATH-1105 as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and AD. ATH-1105 is the Company's oral, next-generation small molecule positive modulator of the neurotrophic hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) system currently in development for the treatment of ALS.
In alignment with Athira's focus on continued development of ATH-1105, the Company is implementing cost containment measures including a reduction in workforce of approximately 70%. Athira expects one-time costs of approximately $2.8 million and cost savings of approximately $13.4 million on an annualized basis related to the reduction in the workforce. As a result of these cost containment measures and based on its current operating plan, Athira now expects to extend its cash runway into the first quarter of 2026. Moving forward, the Company will review and consider various options including partnering and financing with the intent of extending its cash runway to achieve initial proof-of-concept and enable further development for ATH-1105 in neurodegenerative diseases.
