Summary of Pharvaris (PHVS) Conference Call - May 08, 2025 Company Overview - **Company**: Pharvaris - **Focus**: Development of treatments for hereditary angioedema (HAE) with a unique mechanism targeting the bradykinin pathway Key Points Industry Context - **Market Dynamics**: The hereditary angioedema treatment market is highly competitive, with a significant focus on prophylactic treatments. Currently, 62% of the U.S. market is prophylactic, with expectations for growth to 70-80% [13][14][46]. Product Differentiation - **Ducritoban**: Pharvaris's lead product, a B2 receptor antagonist, offers two formulations: immediate release for rapid onset and extended release for 24-hour coverage. This positions it uniquely compared to existing plasma kallikrein inhibitors [5][6][10]. - **Patient Coverage**: Ducritoban can potentially treat a broader patient population, including type 3 HAE patients, which are often overlooked by current treatments [6][7]. Efficacy and Safety - **Phase II Results**: Ducritoban demonstrated an 85% reduction in overall attacks and over 92% reduction in moderate to severe attacks in placebo-controlled trials [53]. The drug was well tolerated over two years with no treatment-related signals observed [11]. - **On-Demand Treatment**: The time to symptom relief was approximately 1.1 hours, with complete resolution within 12 hours, showcasing its efficacy compared to existing treatments [20][21]. Phase III Trials - **Ongoing Studies**: The Phase III trial for on-demand treatment is expected to report top-line results in the first half of 2026, with a focus on symptom relief onset and overall attack management [35][69]. - **Prophylaxis Study Design**: The prophylaxis trial will involve a six-month placebo-controlled study with a 2:1 active placebo ratio, targeting 81 patients [55]. Market Opportunities - **On-Demand vs. Prophylactic**: While the on-demand market is smaller (21% of value), there is significant opportunity as 30-40% of attacks go untreated. The introduction of effective oral therapies could change treatment dynamics [46][48]. - **Patient Preferences**: There is a growing preference for oral treatments, with 70% of patients now favoring oral over injectable options, indicating a shift in market dynamics [63][64]. Financial Position - **Cash Reserves**: As of December 2024, Pharvaris had €280 million in cash, providing a strong financial position to support ongoing and future studies [68]. Future Directions - **Acquired Angioedema Study**: Pharvaris plans to initiate a pivotal study for acquired angioedema by the end of 2025, expanding its target population beyond HAE [69][70]. Additional Insights - **Long-Term Safety Confidence**: The company has built confidence in the long-term safety of bradykinin antagonism based on historical data from similar treatments [8][10]. - **Patient Treatment Burden**: The oral formulation reduces treatment burden compared to injectables, which require more complex administration [32][33]. This summary encapsulates the key insights from the Pharvaris conference call, highlighting the company's strategic positioning, product differentiation, and market opportunities within the hereditary angioedema treatment landscape.

Summary of RAIN Therapeutics Conference Call Company Overview - RAIN Therapeutics, following a reverse merger with Aleron Therapeutics in October 2023, is focused on developing first-in-class treatments for orphan pulmonary conditions, particularly fibrosis indications [2][4]. Key Products and Clinical Trials - **Lead Asset: LTI-03** - Targeting idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), currently moving into a Phase 2 trial [3]. - Demonstrated safety and tolerability in Phase 1 studies, with promising biomarker results [3][24]. - Unique mechanism with both anti-fibrotic and regenerative functions [3][16]. - **Second Asset: LTI-01** - Aimed at treating loculated pleural effusion, a condition affecting approximately 60,000 people in the US annually [4]. - No current FDA-approved pharmacologic solutions exist for this condition [4][33]. Market Potential - The global market for IPF treatments is estimated to reach nearly $12 billion by 2031, with current leading drugs (e.g., Nintedanib) generating around $3.6 billion in 2023 [11][12]. - LTI-01 has a potential market of $400 million in the US and Europe, based on pricing comparable to off-label drugs [33]. Mechanism of Action - LTI-03 operates through a peptide that mimics the Cav1 protein, which is downregulated in fibrotic states [15][37]. - The drug is delivered via dry powder inhalation, targeting lung tissue directly [16][24]. Clinical Study Insights - Phase 1b study showed significant reductions in key biomarker proteins associated with IPF, indicating effective drug delivery to fibrotic lung tissue [25][26]. - The upcoming Phase 2 trial will assess lung function metrics (FVC, FEV1) over 24 weeks, with expectations of positive outcomes based on previous studies [30][31]. Competitive Landscape - Current approved treatments for IPF only slow disease progression and are poorly tolerated, highlighting a significant unmet need in the market [10][12]. - RAIN Therapeutics aims to differentiate itself by offering a safer, more effective treatment option with fewer side effects [18][46]. Future Outlook - Anticipation of Phase 2 trial initiation and data release within the next year, with hopes of demonstrating significant lung function improvements [29][51]. - Ongoing partnership with Taiho Pharmaceutical for commercialization rights in Japan for LTI-01 [33]. Additional Considerations - The regenerative potential of LTI-03 could lead to greater benefits in lung function compared to existing therapies, which primarily focus on slowing decline [44][46]. - The company is optimistic about enrollment for the upcoming trials, aiming for a global reach to capture a diverse patient population [50].
