Palvella Therapeutics and Pieris Pharmaceuticals Announce Definitive Merger Agreement Proposed merger to create a Nasdaq-listed, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel treatments for serious, rare genetic skin diseases for which there are no FDA-approved therapies. Combined company is expected to have approximately $80.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at closing, including approximately $78.9 million from an oversubscribed private financing with participation from a syndicate of leading healthcare-dedicated investors, which is expected to provide cash runway into the second half of 2027. Anticipated cash and cash equivalents are expected to fund combined company through multiple clinical trial milestones, including pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial results from a single-arm, baseline-controlled clinical trial of QTORIN™3.9% rapamycin anhydrous gel (QTORIN™ rapamycin) for the treatment of microcystic lymphatic malformations currently being conducted under FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Fast Track Designation programs. QTORIN™ rapamycin has the potential to be the first approved therapy and standard of care in the U.S. for microcystic lymphatic malformations and cutaneous venous malformations, if approved.

Vittoria Biotherapeutics, a clinical-stage cell therapy company, announces a recent publication by investigators at the University of Pennsylvania in the peer-reviewed journal, Science Immunology. The publication details the critical influence of CD5, a key immunomodulatory protein, on engineered T-cell therapies, which is the foundational basis of the company’s proprietary Senza5TMplatform. This technology, developed by the University of Pennsylvania and exclusively licensed to Vittoria, leverages the therapeutic potential of CD5 modulation to enhance the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapies and underscores its utility across multiple hematological and solid tumor animal models. To learn more in-depth about these approaches, which underline Vittoria’s Senza5TM platform, the full publication is available here: https://lnkd.in/eD4D7NmK. Source: Vittoria Biotherapeutics
