Inhibikase Therapeutics Announces First Quarter
2025 Financial Results and Highlights Recent Activity
Advancing IKT-001 into a Late-Stage Clinical Trial Program in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
May 14, 2025 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 our core 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.
