With the cash expected from both companies at closing and the proceeds of the concurrent private financing, the combined company is expected to have approximately $180 million of cash or cash equivalents immediately post-closing.
Dianthus has a steady cadence of milestones with DNTH103 including top line Phase 1 data aiming to confirm potent classical pathway inhibition and favorable, extended PK expected by the end of 2023, initiation of planned Phase 2 trial in generalized Myasthenia Gravis expected in Q1 2024 followed by two additional planned Phase 2 trial initiations in other neuro indications, and planned initiation of an open label proof of efficacy trial in Cold Agglutinin Disease with patient data expected in 2H 2024.
