Arcturus to present new Phase 1b interim data for ARCT-032 at European Cystic Fibrosis Conference on June 7, 2024

First four CF patients demonstrated an average improvement of 4% FEV1 after two administrations

Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the “Company”, “Arcturus”, Nasdaq: ARCT), a global late-stage clinical messenger RNA medicines company focused on the development of infectious disease vaccines and medicines to treat unmet medical needs within liver and respiratory rare diseases, today announced Arcturus will be presenting Phase 1 results in healthy volunteers and new Phase 1b interim data in CF patients for ARCT-032, an inhaled investigational mRNA therapeutic to treat CF, at the 47th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference on June 7, 2024.

“We were pleased to observe ARCT-032 treatments for the first four patients were generally safe and well tolerated with no serious adverse events,” said Joseph Payne, President & CEO of Arcturus Therapeutics. “Furthermore, we observed an encouraging trend towards lung function improvements in the first four CF participants after only two inhaled administrations.”

“The absolute change in percent predicted FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) in the first four CF participants was observed to be an average of 4.0% at day 8,” said Dr. Juergen Froehlich, Chief Medical Officer of Arcturus Therapeutics. “I am pleased to announce our team will present this new Phase 1b interim data at the upcoming European CF conference in Scotland, supplementing the favorable results from our Phase 1 single ascending dose study in healthy volunteers.”

About Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a life-shortening disease with a worldwide distribution. Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene result in a reduction or absence of CFTR protein and/or function in the airways, causing insufficient chloride transport to maintain airway surface homeostasis. CF mucus is more difficult to clear, thus clogging the airways and leading to infection, inflammation, respiratory failure, or other life-threatening complications. Currently approved CFTR modulator therapies are designed to increase function of the CFTR channel to help reduce symptoms yet are ineffective in some people with CF because of their underlying mutations.

About ARCT-032

ARCT-032 has received Orphan Medicinal Product Designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat Cystic Fibrosis. ARCT-032 utilizes Arcturus' LUNAR® lipid-mediated aerosolized platform to deliver CFTR messenger RNA to the lungs. Expression of a functional copy of the CFTR mRNA in the lungs of people with CF has the potential to restore CFTR activity and mitigate the downstream effects that cause progressive lung disease. The ARCT-032 program is supported by preclinical data in rodents, ferrets and primates, as well as demonstrating restoration of CFTR expression and function in human bronchial epithelial cells.
