In other recent news, Inhibikase Therapeutics announced the appointment of David McIntyre as its new Chief Financial Officer. McIntyre brings over 20 years of experience in the life sciences sector, having held senior roles at companies like Anthos Therapeutics and HeartWare International. This leadership change comes as the company advances its lead product, IkT-001, for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The company is preparing for a Phase 2b ’702’ trial of IkT-001, following recent IND-clearance from the FDA. Inhibikase is also seeking Orphan Drug Designation for IkT-001Pro in the treatment of PAH.

H.C. Wainwright has maintained a Neutral rating on Inhibikase Therapeutics, reflecting the company’s ongoing progress with its drug candidate IkT-001Pro. The drug, a prodrug of imatinib, has already received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for another indication. The company is in discussions with the FDA to secure similar designation for PAH. Inhibikase has enhanced its manufacturing process for IkT-001Pro, which includes new dosage forms and a more efficient production process. These developments are part of the company’s efforts to differentiate IkT-001Pro from generic imatinib mesylate.
