Insights

Inhibikase reports wider quarterly losses as it prepares for pivotal Phase 2b PAH trial with IKT-001, backed by $93.2M cash runway.

Inhibikase Therapeutics is positioning itself for a significant clinical advancement with IKT-001 for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a rare but serious condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. The company has assembled a new leadership team and is finalizing the protocol for its Phase 2b clinical trial expected to begin in H2 2025.

The financial results show a $13.7 million net loss ($0.15 per share) for Q1 2025, a substantial increase from the $4.6 million loss ($0.73 per share) in Q1 2024. This widening loss reflects the company's strategic investments in clinical development, including a $7.4 million non-cash charge related to the acquisition of CorHepta in February 2025. R&D expenses increased significantly to $10.5 million from $2.8 million year-over-year, while SG&A expenses more than doubled to $5.2 million.

Importantly, Inhibikase maintains a strong cash position of $93.2 million, providing essential runway for its planned clinical activities. The company's strategy builds on previous clinical evidence from the IMPRES Phase 3 study of imatinib mesylate, which demonstrated improved exercise capacity and hemodynamics in advanced PAH patients. IKT-001 contains the same active ingredient (imatinib) but potentially with a better tolerability profile.

The recent executive appointments—including CEO Mark Iwicki, President and R&D Head Chris Cabell, CSO John Adams, and CFO David McIntyre—represent a significant organizational restructuring aimed at executing the late-stage development strategy. The company has already received FDA clearance to proceed with the Phase 2b trial as of September 2024, an important regulatory milestone that reduces near-term developmental risk.

The Phase 2b study design is still being refined through consultations with key opinion leaders, indicating the company is taking a thoughtful approach to maximize probability of success in this specialized therapeutic area. PAH remains a disease with significant unmet medical need despite available therapies, presenting both market opportunity and clinical development challenges.

Advancing IKT-001 into a Late-Stage Clinical Trial Program in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

BOSTON and ATLANTA, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: IKT) (“Inhibikase� or “Company�), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company innovating small molecule kinase inhibitor therapeutics to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (“PAH�), today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 and highlighted recent developments.

“During our first quarter of 2025, we continued to build out our senior leadership team and key infrastructure areas to position the Company to advance IKT-001 toward a late-stage clinical trial in PAH,� said Mark Iwicki, Chief Executive Officer of Inhibikase. “With ourcore team now in place, and with ongoing refining of our study protocol with key opinion leaders, IKT is well placed to initiate our Phase 2b clinical study of IKT-001 in PAH in the second half of 2025.� The IMPRES Phase 3 study of imatinib mesylate previously demonstrated improved exercise capacity and hemodynamics in patients with advanced PAH. We continue to believe that systemic exposure of imatinib with IKT-001 can be well tolerated and provide strong efficacy to patients suffering from PAH.

Recent Developments:

  • Announced the appointments of Mark Iwicki as Chief Executive Officer, Chris Cabell, M.D., M.H.S, FACC, as President and Head of Research & Development, and John Adams, Ph.D., as Chief Scientific Officer, and David McIntyre as Chief Financial Officer.
  • Advancement of IKT-001 as a therapy in PAH:
    • The Company has continued to meet with key opinion leaders and other experts in PAH with a view to refining the Company’s proposed study design for the forthcoming Phase 2b clinical study of IKT-001 in PAH. The Company expects to finalize the study design in the ensuing weeks.
    • The Company previously received its “Study May Proceed� letter for the Phase 2b trial in September 2024, noting that the active ingredient in IKT-001, imatinib, has previously been shown to have a meaningful impact on key efficacy parameters such as 6 minute walk distance in advanced PAH.
