Release – Cadrenal Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Research News and Market Data on CVKD

Announces strategic clinical trial plans for tecarfarin in patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) transitioning to dialysis

Tecarfarin can potentially address critical treatment gaps in patients with ESKD

Pivotal step forward in pursuit of ESKD + Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) registration trial

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. – Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative therapeutics that specifically address limitations of current anticoagulation therapy, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided an update on the strategic focus of the company and clinical development of tecarfarin.

“We continue to advance our goal of developing transformative therapeutics to address the gaps in current anticoagulation therapy for patients with complex needs,” said Quang X. Pham, Chairman & CEO. “This commitment is reflected in our strategic plan to initiate a clinical trial for tecarfarin in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) for patients transitioning to dialysis. There is a critical need for safe, effective anticoagulants for use in ESKD patients, and tecarfarin’s orphan drug and fast-track designations in ESKD patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) underscore this need. We are very excited to advance this program.”

“Strong operational execution is fundamental to advancing tecarfarin into late-stage trials,” continued Pham. “By successfully completing the technical transfer of tecarfarin to a U.S. site of a leading global CDMO and manufacturing tecarfarin drug product, we have achieved critical steps in CMC readiness to supply our planned clinical trial and execute our development strategy.”

Highlights from the Quarter Ended June 30, 2025, and Other Recent Events:

Clinical Trial Developments

In August 2025, Cadrenal announced plans to initiate a clinical trial for its late-stage drug candidate, tecarfarin, in patients with ESKD who are transitioning to dialysis, including those with and without atrial fibrillation (AFib). Site activation and screening for patient enrollment are planned to begin later this year.

The need is urgent for this population, as patients with severe kidney disease are at high risk for thrombotic cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, along with a much greater risk of AFib and venous thromboembolism compared to subjects with normal kidney function. When ESKD patients require dialysis, their transition period comes with even greater risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and a substantial increase in mortality.

Cadrenal expects that this study will be a significant step forward in the continued development of tecarfarin in ESKD and other areas with real opportunities to improve patient outcomes with a potentially better anticoagulant.

Operational Milestones

  • CMC Readiness: Successfully completed the technical transfer and manufacturing of its tecarfarin drug substance in accordance with current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) at a U.S. site of a leading global CDMO. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company manufactured tecarfarin clinical drug product and continued to make important advancements in CMC operations to support regulatory and clinical trial readiness.
  • Market Opportunity Research: During the quarter, the Company performed market research in indications where gaps exist in current anticoagulation therapies. This research reinforced that tecarfarin is uniquely positioned to provide potential clinical benefits in certain populations, such as patients with high-need cardiovascular conditions or renal impairment, where anticoagulation safety and predictability are highly important and valued.

Participation in Key Investor, Medical, and Business Development Conferences

Cadrenal continued to be active during the quarter in conferences to build corporate visibility and underscore its commitment to advancing innovation in anticoagulation therapy. Key interactions included participation at the BIO International Convention in Boston, the Longwood Healthcare Leaders CEO conference in Miami, and the 18th National Conference on Anticoagulation Therapy in Washington, D.C.

Strategic Development Collaborations

Cadrenal continues to explore opportunities to expand the Company’s clinical pipeline and collaborate with potential development partners to advance the development of tecarfarin for patients with ESKD and AFib, LVADs, and for other indications requiring chronic anticoagulation.

Stock Index Benchmarks

Effective June 30, 2025, Cadrenal was added to multiple Russell indexes, including the Russell 3000E and Russell Microcap families. These indexes are widely tracked by institutional investors and index funds, potentially broadening the Company’s shareholder base.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $1.1 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2024. General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, were $2.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2024. Cadrenal reported a net loss of $3.7 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2024.

On June 30, 2025, Cadrenal had cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, compared to $10.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company had approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025.

Cadrenal Therapeutics (CVKD) – Tecarfarin Clinical Trial To Begin With Modified Design


Thursday, August 07, 2025

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Cadrenal Announces New Trial Design. Cadrenal announced that it plans to begin a trial testing tecarfarin in patients who are starting renal dialysis, both with and without atrial fibrillation (ESKD-Afib). This design reflects recent studies showing that the first several months after starting dialysis are an ultra-high risk period for mortality and cardiac events. The trial will test tecarfarin efficacy in reducing these events and could begin in late 2025 to early 2026.

Modified Study Design Focuses On Highest Risk Period. The initiation of renal dialysis impacts several important cardiovascular and renal functions. New studies show that the first six months after starting dialysis have a 20-fold increase in cardiovascular events and mortality. This has not previously been recognized due to pathologies of the underlying conditions that lead to CKD and dialysis.

Release – Cadrenal Therapeutics Announces Clinical Trial Initiation Plans for Tecarfarin in Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) Transitioning to Dialysis

Research News and Market Data on CVKD

Advances knowledge about the use of tecarfarin in patients with severe kidney impairment, including dialysis

Pivotal step forward in pursuit of ESKD + Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) registration trial

Addresses a critical current treatment gap in patients with ESKD

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. – Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing transformative therapeutics that specifically address limitations of current anticoagulation therapy, today announced clinical trial initiation plans for its lead late-stage drug candidate, tecarfarin, in patients with ESKD who are transitioning to dialysis. Enrollment is planned to begin later this year and will include patients with and without atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Patients with severe kidney disease are already at high risk for thrombotic cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, along with a much greater risk of AFib and venous thromboembolism compared to subjects with normal kidney function. When ESKD patients require dialysis, their transition period comes with even greater risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and a substantial increase in mortality.

“There is a critical need for safe, effective anticoagulants for use in ESKD patients,” said Quang X. Pham, Chairman and CEO of Cadrenal Therapeutics. “Tecarfarin’s orphan drug and fast-track designations in ESKD patients with AFib underscore this need, and we are excited to advance this program. This study will be an important step forward for the continued development of tecarfarin in ESKD and in other areas with real opportunities to improve patient outcomes with a potentially better vitamin K antagonist.”

Currently, there is limited evidence supporting the use of anticoagulant therapy in dialysis patients. Dialysis patients are often excluded from clinical trials due to their high underlying risk profile, and studies of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in this patient population have not provided clear answers. Furthermore, a recent Phase 2 trial of chronic hemodialysis patients sponsored by a global company showed no benefit from the new class of Factor XI inhibitors in maintaining vascular access graft patency. To date, no prospective studies have examined the benefit of oral anticoagulation in preventing thrombotic events at the time of dialysis initiation.

“Initiating dialysis carries substantial excess risk of cardiovascular events and mortality, and to date, this risk has not been sufficiently addressed. Tecarfarin, a next-generation Vitamin K antagonist with a unique metabolism pathway that is not significantly affected by kidney impairment, has potential promise in this area of unmet need,” said Wolfgang Winkelmayer, Professor of Medicine and Chief of Nephrology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas.

Release – Cadrenal Therapeutics Highlights New Research on Anticoagulation Burden for LVAD Patients

Research News and Market Data on CVKD

  • LVAD patients face a high risk of bleeding events associated with oral anticoagulation alongside increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events such as stroke
  • Hospitalization costs for patients following a major bleeding event associated with oral anticoagulation use averages $39,000 per event
  • Tecarfarin, with its novel metabolic pathway, potentially may offer an alternative to warfarin in this vulnerable population

PONTE VEDRA, Fla. – Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVKD), a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for patients with cardiovascular disease, today announced new findings from third-party research on the economic and medical burdens faced by advanced heart failure patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) requiring chronic anticoagulation.

The research recently conducted by Guidehouse, an AI-led professional services firm delivering advisory, technology, and managed services to the commercial and government sectors, underscores the significant clinical and economic burden for LVAD patients who require chronic oral anticoagulation. Key findings include:

  • Major bleeds remain a primary cost driver, with average hospitalization costs (per event) of $54,100 for intracranial hemorrhage, $26,900 for gastrointestinal bleeds, and $36,600 for other major bleeds.

Guidehouse’s analysis also identified tecarfarin – a novel, Phase 3-ready oral anticoagulant being developed by Cadrenal – as a potential alternative to warfarin to address the current unmet need in this patient population. Tecarfarin is designed to provide more consistent anticoagulation control by avoiding the multiple metabolic pathways associated with warfarin. Its unique metabolism via a single enzyme (CES2) may reduce the risk of drug interactions, dietary complications, and adverse bleeding or thrombotic events.

“Despite decades of use, warfarin has significant limitations – especially in complex patients with LVADs,” said Quang X. Pham, Chairman and CEO of Cadrenal Therapeutics. “This research reinforces our conviction that tecarfarin has the potential to transform anticoagulation management for this high-risk population who currently has no alternative options.”

The finalized Collaboration Agreement with Abbott validates the critical need in the market for a new anticoagulant for patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). And our meeting with the FDA provided additional guidance in the design of a pivotal trial.”

Highlights from the Quarter Ended March 31, 2025, and Other Recent Events:

Leadership Advances

In February 2025, Cadrenal appointed James J. Ferguson, M.D., FACC, FAHA, as Chief Medical Officer to lead the review of business development opportunities to expand the Company’s pipeline and drive the late-stage clinical development of tecarfarin for conditions requiring chronic anticoagulation therapy.

Regulatory Update

In February 2025, Cadrenal met with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a Type D meeting. The FDA provided additional guidance on the appropriate design for a Phase 3 tecarfarin trial and welcomed submission of a final study design for review.

Collaboration Agreement with Abbott

In March 2025, we announced a Collaboration Agreement with Abbott (NYSE: ABT) to support our pivotal TECarfarin Anticoagulation and Hemocompatibility with Left Ventricular Assist Devices (TECH-LVAD) trial. Under the agreement, Abbott will share insights from recent HeartMate 3™ clinical trials and will support Cadrenal with trial design, site identification, trial awareness, and HeartMate 3™ expertise.

Operational Milestones

During the quarter, Cadrenal successfully completed the technical transfer and manufacturing of its tecarfarin drug substance (API) from a CDMO site located in Asia to a CDMO site in the United States. This initiative was done to support the company’s clinical and regulatory development strategy for tecarfarin and to improve supply chain security.

Cadrenal also conducted strategic market opportunity research for multiple indications, including patients with left ventricular assist devices. This research indicates that tecarfarin is uniquely positioned to provide clinical value to patients in the rapidly growing LVAD market, which is projected to nearly double by 2032. This research also showed that tecarfarin has the potential to provide clinical benefit in additional high-need cardiovascular, renal, and mechanical heart valve indications, reinforcing tecarfarin’s potential value proposition for patients.

Participation in Key Investor, Medical, and Business Development Conferences

About Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc.

Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics for patients with cardiovascular disease. Cadrenal’s lead investigational product is tecarfarin, a novel oral vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant that addresses unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy. Tecarfarin is a reversible anticoagulant (blood thinner) designed to prevent heart attacks, strokes, and deaths due to blood clots in patients requiring chronic anticoagulation. Although warfarin is widely used off-label for a number of indications, extensive clinical and real-world data have shown it can have significant, serious side effects. With tecarfarin, Cadrenal is advancing an innovative solution to address the unmet needs in anticoagulation therapy, aiming to reduce the clinical complexities of warfarin and capture value in a market with high demand for safer, more manageable treatment options.

Cadrenal is pursuing a pipeline-in-a-product approach with tecarfarin. Tecarfarin received Orphan Drug designation (ODD) for advanced heart failure patients with implanted mechanical circulatory support devices, including Left Ventricular Assisted Devices (LVADs). The Company also received ODD and fast-track status for tecarfarin in end-stage kidney disease and atrial fibrillation (ESKD+AFib).

Cadrenal is opportunistically pursuing business development initiatives with a longer-term focus on creating a pipeline of cardiovascular therapeutics. For more information, visit https://www.cadrenal.com/ and connect with us on LinkedIn.

Cadrenal Therapeutics (CVKD) – FY2024 Report Reviews A Pivotal Year For Tecarfarin


Friday, March 14, 2025

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

FY2024 Was A Productive Year. Cadrenal reported a 4Q24 loss of $4.2 million or $(2.55) per share and FY2024 loss of $10.7 million or $(8.73) per share. An important development discussed in our Research Note on March 5 was Cadrenal’s announcement of a collaborative agreement with Abbott (ABT, Not Rated) for support of its pivotal trial testing tecarfarin in patients with left ventricular assist (LVAD) devices. Cash and equivalents on December 31 were $10.0 million.

Tecarfarin Is In Development For Several Patient Populations With Coagulation Needs. Many patients that are at risk for cardiovascular events (stroke, embolism, deep vein thrombosis) take anticoagulants in the direct oral anticoagulant class (DOACs, such as Eliquis or Xarelto). However, there are several patient populations that must take warfarin, an older drug, due to lack of efficacy or high bleeding risk. Tecarfarin is being developed to replace warfarin in these populations. Cadrenal has Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for implanted mechanical devices (LVADs) and prevention of systemic thromboembolism in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Cadrenal Therapeutics (CVKD) – Development Agreement With Abbott Brings Another Tecarfarin Indication To Clinical Trials


Wednesday, March 05, 2025

Robert LeBoyer, Senior Vice President, Equity Research Analyst, Biotechnology, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Cadrenal and Abbott Announce The LVAD Collaboration We’ve Been Waiting For. Cadrenal announced a development agreement with Abbott (ABT, Not Rated) to develop Tecarfarin in patients with Abbott’s HeartMate3 LVAD (left ventricle assist device). Under the agreement, Abbott will support Cadrenal’s pivotal TECH-VLAD (TECarfarin Anticoagulation and Hemocompatibility with Left Ventricular Assist Devices) trial in its design, site selection, recruitment, and its HeartMate3 experience.

LVAD Patients Have An Unmet Need For A New Anticoagulant. While Direct Oral Anticoagulation Drug (DOAC) category has been highly successful, there are several populations where they are not effective or have safety risks. Patients with LVAD devices can only use warfarin, a drug that has variable efficacy with several drawbacks, including a requirement for frequent patient monitoring. LVAD patients have less effective anticoagulation and remain at high risk for coagulation events (bleeding, stroke, myocardial infarct).
