Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On July 28, 2026, Altimmune, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing the positive topline results from the RECLAIM Phase 2 trial evaluating pemvidutide 2.4 mg dose, an investigational balanced glucagon/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist, in patients with moderate to severe alcohol use disorder (AUD).
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
As noted above, on July 28, 2026, the Company announced the positive topline results from the RECLAIM Phase 2 trial evaluating the 2.4 mg dose of pemvidutide, an investigational balanced glucagon/GLP-1 dual receptor agonist, in patients with moderate to severe AUD.
The trial met its primary endpoint with a highly statistically significant reduction in heavy drinking days per week (HDD) versus placebo, with positive results across important secondary endpoints, including a two-level reduction in the World Health Organization Risk Drinking Level and zero HDDs, both of which are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registrational endpoints, as well as a reduction in phosphatidyl ethanol levels. A generally favorable safety and tolerability profile was observed in the trial. The Company plans to request an End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA based on the results of the trial.
