Stock Track | Altimmune (ALT) Plummets 10.64% Despite Positive Phase 1b Data Showing Pemvidutide Reduces Inflammatory Lipids in MASH Patients

Stock Track11-16

Altimmune, Inc. (ALT) stock plummeted 10.64% during Friday's intraday trading session despite the company presenting encouraging new data from its Phase 1b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASH).

The data, presented at The Liver Meeting® 2024 of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, showed that once-weekly subcutaneous doses of pemvidutide resulted in significant reductions in multiple classes of inflammatory lipids associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk and atherosclerosis progression.

Specifically, pemvidutide rapidly and markedly reduced levels of small atherogenic LDL particles compared to placebo in MASH patients with overweight or obesity. These findings suggest pemvidutide could potentially help address major comorbidities of MASH beyond just reducing liver fat, such as cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and metabolic syndrome.
