- Net proceeds of $243.2 million from public offering in September 2024 extends cash runway into the second half of 2027; cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $753.2 million as of September 30, 2024 -
Viridian Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRDN), a biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing potential best-in-class medicines for serious and rare diseases, today reported recent business highlights and financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024.
“We had another exceedingly strong quarter of execution across our TED and FcRn portfolios,” said Steve Mahoney, Viridian’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In TED, we reported highly-compelling and positive phase 3 data for veligrotug and eagerly anticipate the readout of THRIVE-2 in December. We also initiated both pivotal phase 3 clinical trials for VRDN-003, our next-generation subcutaneous IGF-1R inhibitor. For our FcRn inhibitor portfolio, we are thrilled today to share VRDN-008 NHP data for the first time, demonstrating a potential best-in-class pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile for this half-life extended bispecific FcRn inhibitor. Together with our Fc fragment approach with VRDN-006, we believe these programs in our FcRn portfolio will bring differentiated options for patients and each contribute to an exciting pipeline beyond TED. This quarter, we also further strengthened our cash position with a financing that allows us to accelerate our R&D pipeline and extend our cash runway into the second half of 2027.”
RECENT TED PORTFOLIO PROGRESS
Veligrotug is an intravenously delivered anti-insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) antibody in phase 3 development for thyroid eye disease.
VRDN-003 is a potential best-in-class, subcutaneous, half-life extended anti-IGF-1R antibody with the same binding domain as veligrotug.
FCRN PORTFOLIO UPDATE WITH NEW VRDN-008 NHP DATA
VRDN-006 is a highly selective Fc fragment which inhibits FcRn, and is designed to be a convenient subcutaneous and self-administered option for patients.
VRDN-008 is a half-life extended bispecific FcRn inhibitor comprising an Fc fragment and an albumin-binding domain designed to prolong IgG suppression and provide a potentially best-in-class subcutaneous option for patients.
