ZUG, Switzerland, Jan. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pharvaris (Nasdaq: PHVS), a clinical-stage company developing novel, oral bradykinin B2 receptor antagonists to treat and prevent hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, today provided business updates and outlined its strategic priorities for 2024.
“Pharvaris enters the new year having demonstrated deucrictibant’s potential to be the preferred option for both the prevention and treatment of HAE attacks,” said Berndt Modig, Chief Executive Officer of Pharvaris. “We are operating from a strong financial position and anticipate 2024 will be an important execution year for Pharvaris as we transition into a late-stage clinical company with the initiation of RAPIDe-3 expected within the first half. We have submitted the results of the nonclinical study to the FDA for review with respect to the clinical hold on the long-term prophylaxis program in the U.S. We are also preparing to initiate the global pivotal study, CHAPTER-3, for the prophylaxis against HAE attacks. In parallel, we will be building on our foundation for Pharvaris’ long-term strategy as we invest in our commercial and product infrastructure to support our commitment to provide deucrictibant to people living with HAE.”
Mr. Modig continued, “We are thankful to Jochen Knolle’s vision and leadership over the past eight years. Jochen has been instrumental in the development of multiple therapies throughout his career, including icatibant and deucrictibant for the treatment of HAE. The next years will be incredibly important to the company, and Jochen’s continued strategic guidance will be invaluable.”

About Deucrictibant
Deucrictibant is a potent, selective, and orally available antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor. By inhibiting bradykinin signaling through the bradykinin B2 receptor, deucrictibant has the potential to treat the clinical signs of an HAE attack and to prevent the occurrence of attacks. Based on its chemical properties, Pharvaris is developing two formulations of deucrictibant for oral administration; a capsule to enable rapid onset of activity for acute treatment, and an extended-release tablet to enable sustained absorption and efficacy in prophylactic treatment.
