NAARDEN, The Netherlands and MIAMI, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewAmsterdam Pharma Company N.V. (Nasdaq: NAMS or “NewAmsterdam” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing oral, non-statin medicines for patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease with residual elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (“LDL-C”), for whom existing therapies are not sufficiently effective or well-tolerated, today provided a corporate update and announced financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“We experienced strong momentum in the third quarter, continuing the foundational work required to scale NewAmsterdam into a robust clinical and commercial organization,” said Michael Davidson, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of NewAmsterdam. “We recently expanded our leadership team with appointments of BJ Jones as Chief Commercial Officer and Ian Somaiya as Chief Financial Officer. Together, they bring tremendous expertise and functional knowledge, which will enable us to invest in the continued development of obicetrapib, while building a strategic go-to-market approach to support a potential launch. We look forward to their many contributions as we continue toward our goal of establishing NewAmsterdam as a global leader in cardiometabolic disease.”

Dr. Davidson continued, “We recently announced initial data from our Phase 2a trial evaluating obicetrapib in patients with early AD who carry the ApoE4 mutation. We are encouraged by these data, which suggest CETP inhibition may offer a novel approach to reducing the risk of AD in this targeted patient population. We continue to make meaningful progress across our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, with topline data from BROOKLYN and BROADWAY expected in the second half of 2024 and enrollment on track in PREVAIL. With our strong clinical expertise, growing leadership team and robust financial position, we believe we are well-positioned to execute on our mission of delivering safe, convenient and effective treatment options for patients with metabolic diseases.”
