On or around May 27, 2021, Centessa conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 16.5 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) priced at $20.00 per share. Then, on June 2, 2022, Centessa issued a press release “announc[ing] that it has made the strategic decision to discontinue development of lixivaptan for Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) including both the Phase 3 ACTION Study and the open-label ALERT Study.” Centessa specified that “[t]he decision is based on a thorough reassessment of the commercial potential of lixivaptan as a potential best-in-class therapy for patients with ADPKD, and the incremental development challenges and associated costs, following a recent observation of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevations in one subject in the ALERT Study.” On this news, Centessa’s ADS price fell sharply during intraday trading on June 2, 2022.
