NEW YORK - Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:APLT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is set to present comprehensive results from its Phase 3 ARISE-HF study at the American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session in Atlanta. The study evaluated AT-001, an investigational treatment for Diabetic Cardiomyopathy (DbCM), and will be shared on Monday.

The ARISE-HF study previously reported in January 2024 that AT-001 showed a significant trend in stabilizing cardiac function in a specific subgroup of patients not treated with SGLT2 or GLP-1 inhibitors.

The upcoming presentation will include additional data on the prevention of overt heart failure progression and other secondary outcomes. The study found that AT-001 significantly prevented the progression to overt heart failure compared to a placebo in patients with DbCM (p=0.0285).

Safety data from the trial will also be disclosed, suggesting that AT-001 was safe and well-tolerated among participants. This indicates a potential advancement over previous aldose reductase inhibitors, which have faced selectivity and safety challenges.

AT-001, known as caficrestat, is part of Applied Therapeutics' pipeline targeting molecular mechanisms in diseases with high unmet medical needs. The drug is in Phase 3 development, with the ARISE-HF study involving 675 patients at risk of developing overt heart failure.

The results of the ARISE-HF study are scheduled for simultaneous publication in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) on the day of the presentation.

Applied Therapeutics focuses on novel therapies for validated molecular targets, including govorestat for CNS rare metabolic diseases and AT-003 for Diabetic retinopathy.

According to real-time data from InvestingPro, Applied Therapeutics has a market capitalization of 657.56 million USD, reflecting its position in the biopharmaceutical sector.

InvestingPro Tips suggest that Applied Therapeutics generally trades with high price volatility, which may be a point of consideration for investors looking at the short-term price movements. Additionally, the company's short-term obligations exceeding its liquid assets could be a financial health indicator that warrants attention.
