Target enrollment achieved in RAPIDe-3, a pivotal Phase 3 study of deucrictibant for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks, strengthening confidence in clinical timelinesEnrollment underway in CHAPTER-3, a pivotal Phase 3 study of deucrictibant for prophylaxis of HAE attacks; topline data expected in 2H2026Orphan medicinal product designation granted to deucrictibant in Europe for the treatment of bradykinin-mediated angioedemaData presented at recent congresses reinforces the value of deucrictibant by highlighting its ability to maintain a reduced attack rate in long-term prophylaxis, and potential to rapidly and completely treat HAE attacks, including in participants experiencing upper-airway attacksStrong financial position with cash and cash equivalents of €281 million as of December 31, 2024 ZUG, Switzerland, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pharvaris (Nasdaq: PHVS), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral bradykinin B2 receptor antagonists to help address unmet needs of those living with bradykinin-mediated diseases such as hereditary angioedema (HAE) and acquired angioedema due to C1 inhibitor deficiency (AAE-C1INH), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024, and provided a business update. “Pharvaris is focused on the development of deucrictibant to address unmet needs for people living with bradykinin-mediated angioedema; our priority remains generating robust clinical data to support this goal. We are pleased to have met our aggressive enrollment timelines for RAPIDe-3; we believe this was driven by high engagement from the HAE community, reinforcing the excitement about the clinical data and the potential impact of deucrictibant for those with bradykinin-mediated angioedema,” said Berndt Modig, Chief Executive Officer of Pharvaris. “To our knowledge, deucrictibant is the only orally-administered bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist in development for both the prophylactic and on-demand treatment of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. Consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission’s granting of orphan designation to deucrictibant reiterates its potential to address unmet medical needs in HAE, as well as other bradykinin-mediated angioedema diseases.” Recent Business UpdatesDevelopment Pipeline Target enrollment achieved in RAPIDe-3 (NCT06343779). RAPIDe-3, a pivotal global Phase 3 study evaluating deucrictibant immediate-release capsule (20 mg) for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks in adults and adolescents (12 years and older), has reached its target enrollment and continues to assess HAE attacks in approximately 120 participants.Enrollment in CHAPTER-3 (NCT06669754) progressing as planned. CHAPTER-3 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study of orally administered deucrictibant extended-release tablet for the prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) with HAE. The study aims to enroll approximately 81 participants with HAE and randomize them in a 2:1 ratio to receive deucrictibant extended-release tablet (40 mg/day), which is the intended commercial dosage, or placebo, once daily for 24 weeks. Pharvaris anticipates announcing topline data of CHAPTER-3 in the second half of 2026.Open-label extensions of deucrictibant in both prophylaxis (CHAPTER-4, NCT06679881) and on-demand (RAPIDe-2, NCT05396105) are ongoing. Participants who have completed the randomized clinical trials for the prophylactic or on-demand treatment of HAE attacks with deucrictibant are eligible to continue deucrictibant therapy through open-label extension studies. The intention of the studies is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of deucrictibant for the prevention or treatment of HAE attacks.Data presentations at recent congresses highlight long-term clinical data of deucrictibant. Recent presentations at the Western Society of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (WSAAI) 2025 Annual Meeting, the 2025 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) Joint Congress, and the 2025 HAE International (HAEi) Regional Conference APAC, support Pharvaris’ deucrictibant product strategy. Long-term extension data from the open-label extension (OLE) part of CHAPTER-1 study showed that deucrictibant maintained the reduced monthly HAE attack rate for at least a year and a half, and the median proportion of days with symptoms during the OLE was further reduced to zero days. The ongoing RAPIDe-2 extension study includes efficacy data from seven upper airway, including laryngeal, attacks, in which the median time to onset of symptom relief was 0.9 hours (N=7). Corporate Orphan designation granted to deucrictibant for the treatment of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. On March 28, 2025, the European Commission (EC) granted orphan designation to deucrictibant for the treatment of bradykinin-mediated angioedema in the European Union. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously granted orphan drug designation to deucrictibant for the treatment of bradykinin-mediated angioedema in March 2022.

About DeucrictibantDeucrictibant is a novel, potent, oral small-molecule bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist currently in clinical development. By inhibiting bradykinin signaling through the bradykinin B2 receptor, deucrictibant is being investigated for its potential to prevent the occurrence of bradykinin-mediated angioedema attacks and to treat the manifestations of attacks if/when they occur. Based on its chemical properties, Pharvaris is developing two formulations of deucrictibant for oral administration: an extended-release tablet to enable sustained absorption and efficacy as prophylactic treatment, and an immediate-release capsule to enable rapid onset of activity for on-demand treatment. Deucrictibant has been granted orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan designation by the European Commission. About PharvarisPharvaris is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral bradykinin B2 receptor antagonists to potentially address all types of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. Pharvaris intends to provide injectable-like efficacy™ and placebo-like tolerability with the convenience of an oral therapy to prevent and treat bradykinin-mediated angioedema attacks. With positive data in both Phase 2 prophylaxis and on-demand studies in HAE, Pharvaris is currently evaluating the efficacy and safety of deucrictibant in a pivotal Phase 3 study for the prevention of HAE attacks (CHAPTER-3) and a pivotal Phase 3 study for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks (RAPIDe-3).
