Altimmune Inc (ALT) 配当

Altimmune, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company, which focuses on the development of novel peptide-based therapeutics for the treatment of obesity and liver diseases. The company is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland and currently employs 57 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2005-10-06. The firm is developing novel therapies for serious liver diseases. Its lead product candidate, pemvidutide (formerly ALT-801), is a balanced 1:1 glucagon/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist in development for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), alcohol use disorder (AUD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The activation of glucagon receptors results in direct effects on the liver, including reductions in liver fat, inflammation and fibrosis, whereas the activation of GLP-1 receptors mediates suppression of appetite and reduction of cravings as well as metabolic effects such as weight loss. The company has completed phase II development of pemvidutide. The company also develops and commercializes surfactant-functionalized (EuPort domain) incretin-based peptide therapeutics, including (GLP-1-glucagon)/oxyntomodulin, and variants.
