Overview

We are a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet need, initially focused on angioedema and other bradykinin-mediated diseases. Our first molecule, deucrictibant, is a novel, oral, small-molecule bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist under development for the prevention or treatment of attacks due to bradykinin-mediated angioedema, including hereditary angioedema (HAE) and acquired angioedema due to C1-inhibitor deficiency (AAE-C1INH). Deucrictibant has the potential to address unmet medical need by improving upon the therapeutic profile of existing medicines and providing patients with quality of life and ease-of-administration that is superior to current standard-of-care. We believe deucrictibant has the potential to provide injectable-like efficacy and placebo-like tolerability with the convenience of an oral therapy for both the prophylactic and on-demand treatment of HAE attacks.

Deucrictibant may address unmet medical needs of people living with HAE by both preventing attacks from occurring, using an extended-release (XR) tablet formulation of deucrictibant, as well as treat the manifestations of HAE attacks, using an immediate-release (IR) capsule formulation of deucrictibant. The XR tablet formulation is designed to maintain therapeutic levels for at least 24 hours and to achieve a steady-state plasma concentration within 72 hours, supporting a once-daily dosing regimen. The IR capsule formulation is designed to rapidly reach therapeutic exposure in order to mitigate HAE attacks symptoms quickly and completely with a single oral dose.

In addition to the differentiation of our individual products, having on-demand and prophylactic products with the same active ingredient enables patients to maintain a trusted active medicine when they change their dosing regimen and delivery mechanism moving from on-demand to prophylactic treatment (or the other way around). This may be particularly valued by children or adolescents who typically begin therapy with on-demand only and gradually move to prophylaxis as attack frequency increases (commonly after puberty).

In our Phase 1 clinical trials to-date, we have observed rapid exposure and predictable linear pharmacokinetics (PK) with and without food. In addition, we observed deucrictibant to be a potent antagonist of the bradykinin B2 receptor, in vitro and in vivo with healthy volunteers.

A Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and tolerability of deucrictibant IR capsules for the on-demand treatment of attacks in patients with HAE type 1 and 2 (RAPIDe-1) commenced in February 2021 and reported positive topline Phase 2 data in December 2022, demonstrating the clinical efficacy and tolerability of deucrictibant. We believe these positive Phase 2 data support further development of deucrictibant as a potential oral on-demand therapy for HAE attacks. In March 2024, we initiated a global, pivotal, randomized, double-blind-placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, RAPIDe-3, of orally administered deucrictibant IR capsule (20 mg) for the on-demand treatment of HAE attacks in adults and adolescents (12 years and older), and have enrolled approximately 120

1


 

participants. Topline data from RAPIDe-3 is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2025 and, pending positive data, we expect to submit a New Drug Application with the FDA in the first half of 2026.

A Phase 2 placebo-controlled trial evaluating the efficacy and the safety and tolerability of deucrictibant for long-term prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in HAE type 1 and 2 (CHAPTER-1) commenced in 2021 using twice-daily dosing of deucrictibant IR capsules as a proof-of-concept for once-daily deucrictibant XR tablets, and announced positive topline data in December 2023, demonstrating the clinical efficacy and tolerability of deucrictibant. We believe these positive Phase 2 data support further development of deucrictibant as a potential oral prophylactic therapy for HAE attacks. In December 2024, we initiated a global, pivotal, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study, CHAPTER-3, of orally administered deucrictibant extended-release tablet for the prophylaxis against angioedema attacks in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) with HAE. The study aims to enroll approximately 81 participants with HAE and randomize them in a 2:1 ratio to receive deucrictibant XR tablet (40 mg/day), which is the intended commercial dosage, or placebo, once daily for 24 weeks. Topline data from CHAPTER-3 is anticipated in the second half of 2026.

In addition, we are also running open-label extension studies in both on-demand and prophylactic settings to collect long-term safety and efficacy data in HAE patients.

In August 2022, the FDA placed a hold on the clinical trials of deucrictibant in the U.S. based on its review of nonclinical data. The FDA requested that Pharvaris conduct an additional long-term rodent toxicology study and update the Investigator’s Brochure. Pharvaris participated in a Type A meeting with the FDA to discuss paths to address the on-demand and prophylactic holds and aligned on a protocol for a 26-week rodent toxicology study. Following review of data from a preplanned interim analysis of the ongoing 26-week nonclinical rodent study, the FDA lifted the clinical hold on the IND application for deucrictibant for the on-demand treatment of HAE in June 2023. In January 2024, the FDA lifted the clinical hold on the IND application for deucrictibant for the prophylactic treatment of HAE attacks following review of the full data set from the completed 26-week rodent toxicology study.

A wide variety of events beyond our control, including natural or man-made disasters, power shortages, fires, extreme weather conditions, pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases, political instability or other events could disrupt our business or operations or those of our development partners, manufacturers, regulators or other third parties with whom we conduct business now or in the future. These events may cause businesses and government agencies to be shut down, supply chains to be interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable, and individuals to become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Additionally, we are exposed to a variety of risks in the ordinary course of our business, including, but not limited to, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk and changes in regulations and customs, tariffs and trade barriers. We regularly assess each of these risks to minimize any adverse effects on our business as a result of those factors. For a detailed discussion, see Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in the Annual Report.

In addition, the retaliatory measures that have been taken, or could be taken in the future, by the United States, NATO, and other countries in response to escalating regional conflicts, such as the Russia/Ukraine War, that have created global security concerns and also could adversely affect our ability to conduct ongoing and future clinical trials of our product candidates. For example, our current studies have participants enrolled at sites in approximately 30 countries. A further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine may potentially impact our ability to complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials in these countries on a timely basis, or at all. Clinical trials in these countries could be suspended or terminated, and we may be prevented from obtaining data on patients already enrolled at affected sites. Any of the foregoing could impede the execution of our clinical development plans.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenues

We did not record any revenues during the period covered by the historical financial information included in this Report. We do not expect to recognize any product sales related revenues before we are able to commercialize our first product.

Research and development expenses

We are focused on the clinical development of deucrictibant. Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to research and development efforts relating to the development of deucrictibant and our product candidates IR and XR. We expect that we will continue to incur significant research and development expenses as

2


 

we seek to complete the clinical development of, and achieve regulatory approval for, our product candidates IR and XR, and in connection with discovery and development of any additional product candidates.

Research and development expenses consist of the following:

employee benefits expenses, which includes salaries, pensions, share-based compensation expenses, bonus plans and other related costs for research and development staff;
nonclinical expenses, which include costs of our outsourced discovery and nonclinical development studies and associated travel;
clinical expenses, which includes costs of conducting and managing our sponsored clinical trials, including clinical investigator cost, costs of clinical sites, costs for CROs assisting with our clinical development programs and associated travel;
manufacturing expenses, which include costs related to manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and manufacturing of the products used in our clinical trials and research and development activities and associated travel;
costs related to regulatory activities, including collecting data, preparing and submitting filings, communicating with regulatory authorities and reviewing the design and conduct of clinical trials for compliance with applicable requirements;
costs in connection with investigator-sponsored clinical trials and evaluations;
advisers’ fees, including discovery, nonclinical, clinical, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls-related and other consulting services;
intellectual property costs, which includes costs associated with obtaining and maintaining patents and other intellectual property; and
license costs.

We expect that our total research and development expenses will increase in 2025 as we continue to focus on the development of our product candidates IR and XR, as well as explore potential expansion programs. We anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to increase as we continue to progress IR and XR through clinical development.

There is a risk that any clinical development or product discovery program may not result in commercial approval. To the extent that we fail to obtain approval to commercialize our product candidate in a timely manner, we would need to continue to conduct nonclinical studies or clinical trials over a longer period of time, and we anticipate that our research and development expenses may further increase.

Clinical development timelines and associated costs may vary significantly and the successful development of our product candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts, including patient recruitment and selection that will be necessary to complete the development of, or the period, if any, in which material net cash inflows may commence from, our product candidates. Moreover, we cannot assure that we will be able to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates, if approved for marketing. This is due to numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing drugs. See “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk factors” in our Annual Report and under “Risk factors” in any other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties.

Sales, Marketing, and Distribution expenses

If our product candidates are approved for registration and marketing, we anticipate incurring substantial sales, marketing, and distribution expenses in future periods in order to complete the commercial infrastructure we have begun and manufacture commercial quantities of our product candidates.

General and administrative expenses

We anticipate that we will continue to incur significant general and administrative expenses as we advance our research and development portfolio. General and administrative expenses consist of the following:

employee benefits, including salaries, pensions, share-based compensation expenses, bonus plans and other related costs for staff and independent contractors in executive and operational functions;

3


 

independent auditors’ and advisers’ fees, including accounting, tax, legal and other consulting services;
rental expenses, insurance, facilities and IT expenses and other general expenses relating to our operations; and
expenses related to the build-out of our commercial organization, including assessments of the HAE market landscape, pricing research and congress attendance.

We anticipate that the continuing development of our business and the expense of maintaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, will contribute to future increase in general and administrative expenses. We also expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we incur additional costs associated with being a public company in the United States.

We undertook a review of our expense classification methodology within the General and Administrative section to better align with the nature of the underlying activities and industry practices. As a result of this review, certain pre-commercial costs previously reported under “Other expenses” were determined to be more appropriately classified as “Professional Fees.” We recorded approximately €0.5 and €1.6 million in Professional fees for the three and six months ending June 30, 2025, respectively. This reclassification had no impact on the total General and Administrative expenses.

Share-based compensation expenses

In 2016, we implemented an Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan"), in order to advance the interests of our shareholders by enhancing our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to us and by providing such persons with performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of our shareholders. In order to incentivize our directors and employees, our Board adopted the Pharvaris N.V. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) for employees, consultants and directors prior to the completion of our initial public offering (“IPO”). The 2021 Plan became effective upon our conversion from Pharvaris B.V. into Pharvaris N.V., which occurred prior to the consummation of our IPO. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, performance stock awards, other stock-based awards, performance cash awards and substitute awards. The fair values of these instruments are recognized as personnel expenses in either research and development expenses or general and administrative expenses.

Result of operations

The financial information shown below was derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Report on Form 6-K. The discussion below should be read along with these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to them.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, we undertook a review of our expense classification methodology to better align with the nature of the underlying activities and industry practices. As a result of this review, certain personnel, consulting, and facility related costs previously reported under General and Administrative expenses were determined to be more appropriately classified as Research and Development expenses. The Company reclassified approximately €0.5 million and €0.7 million from General and Administrative expenses to Research and Development expenses for the three and six months ending, June 30, 2025, respectively. This reclassification had no impact on the total operating expenses, net loss, or loss per share.

Research and development expenses increased from €23.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to €29.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to the increase in personnel expenses, which includes increased headcount to support the three Phase 3 studies (IR, XR and AAE), as well as an increase in nonclinical expenses.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, personnel expenses were €9.4 million and €6.5 million, respectively. This represents an increase of €2.9 million, or 45%. The increase in personnel expenses is driven by the hiring of additional employees. Personnel expenses include €2.8 million of share-based compensation versus €1.8

5


 

million in the prior year period. The three month increase in share based compensation is due to the net effect of the annual and new hire grants awarded through June 30, 2025.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, nonclinical expenses were €2.9 million and (€0.1 million), respectively. This represents an increase of €3.0 million. The increase is primarily due to non-deucrictibant preclinical activities.

General and administrative expenses decreased from €11.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to €10.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the current period, the increase in personnel expenses was offset by decreases in other categories primarily consulting fees and other expenses.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, personnel expenses were €5.8 million and €4.4 million, respectively, an increase of €1.4 million, or 31%. The increase in personnel expenses is driven by the hiring of additional employees, and the increase in share-based compensation due to the net effect of the annual and new hire grants awarded through June 30, 2025. Personnel expenses include an amount of €2.7 million of share-based compensation versus €2.1 million in the prior-year period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, consulting fees were €0.03 million and €0.7 million, respectively, a decrease of €0.7 million, or (96)%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in investor relations expenses due to one-time payments to two financial advisory firms in the prior-year period.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other expenses were €0.9 million and €1.3 million, respectively, a decrease of €0.4 million, or (33)%. The decrease is primarily due to the general and administrative reclassification discussed above which was approximately €0.5 million of pre-commercial expenses now recorded in professional fees.

 

Finance (expense) / income - net

Finance (expense) income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were (€4.9) million and €4.7 million, respectively. Of the change of €9.6 million, €9.1 million relates to translating the group’s bank balances and other balance sheet items held in USD to EUR, which is the reporting currency of the Company.

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with IAS 34. The interim period is considered part of a larger financial year, where the income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated tax expenses are determined based on a full-year basis and subsequently allocated using the expected full-year effective tax rate. The one-off

6


 

items are recognized in full in the interim period in which they emerge. In the total interim tax charge, no distinction is made between current and deferred tax expenses/income.

 

The tax expense over the three months ended June 30, 2025 relates to the Company's U.S. and Dutch fiscal unity.

The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to the increase in clinical expenses in the ongoing deucrictibant Phase 3 studies (IR, XR and AAE), as well as increased personnel expenses due to increased headcount to support the three Phase 3 studies.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, personnel expenses were €17.8 million and €11.6 million, respectively, an increase of €6.1 million, or 53%. The increase in personnel expenses is primarily driven by the hiring of additional employees. Personnel expenses include €5.0 million of share-based compensation versus €2.9 million in the prior-year period. The six month increase in share-based compensation is due to the net effect of the annual and new hire grants awarded through June 30, 2025.

General and administrative expenses increased from €21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, to €22.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the current period, increases in personnel expenses and professional fees were substantially offset by decreases in other categories, primarily consulting fees; accounting, tax and auditing fees; and other expenses.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, personnel expenses were €10.8 million and €7.7 million, respectively, an increase of €3.1 million, or 41%. Personnel expenses includes €4.7 million of share-based compensation versus €3.4 million in the prior-year period and is due to the net effect of the annual and new hire grants awarded through June 30, 2025.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, professional fees were €4.3 million and €3.3 million, respectively, an increase of €1.0 million, or 29%. The increase was primarily due to the general and administrative reclassification discussed above which was approximately €1.6 million of pre-commercial expenses now recorded in professional fees partially offset by a reduction in legal fees driven by not reactivating the at-the-market financing facility put in place in 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, accounting, tax and auditing fees were €1.4 million and €2.1 million, respectively, a decrease of €0.7 million, or (35)%. The decrease reflects Pharvaris’ ongoing efforts of moving from external consultants to employees.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, consulting fees were €0.1 million and €0.9 million, respectively, a decrease of €0.8 million, or (91)%. The decrease is primarily due to lower investor relations expenses as the prior-year period included one-time payments to two financial advisory firms.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, other expenses were €2.2 million and €3.0 million, respectively, a decrease of €0.8 million, or (27)%. The decrease was primarily due to the general and administrative reclassification discussed above which was approximately €1.6 million of pre-commercial expenses now recorded in professional fees and partially offset by increased software licensing expenses.

Finance (expense) / income - net

Finance (expense) / income - net, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was €(8.8) million and €5.3 million, respectively. Of the change of €14.1 million, €14.9 million relates to translating the group’s bank balances and other balance sheet items held in USD to EUR, which is the reporting currency of the Company. While interest and other income remained flat over the comparative periods.

 

Income taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with IAS 34. The interim period is considered part of a larger financial year, where the income tax is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated tax expenses are determined based on a full-year basis and subsequently allocated using the expected full-year effective tax rate. The one-off items are recognized in full in the interim period in which they emerge. In the total interim tax charge, no distinction is made between current and deferred tax expenses/income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Since inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred losses of €91.8 million and €57.7 million, respectively. Since inception, we have not generated any revenues or net cash flows from sales. We will not receive any revenues or net cash flows from sales until we successfully develop a product candidate, obtain regulatory approval and successfully commercialize it. There is no assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

To date, we have relied on the issuance of equity securities to finance our operations and internal growth. We have previously offered and sold ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants pursuant to underwritten offerings, private placements and at-the-market sales programs. In July 2025, we conducted an underwritten offering of ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase ordinary shares that generated net proceeds of approximately $189 million.

 

As of June 30, 2025 we held cash and cash equivalents of €199.6 million. Of the cash on hand, €0.1 million relates to guarantees. We do not expect positive operating cash flows in the foreseeable future and remain dependent on additional financing to fund our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses and financing costs. We believe that the available cash balances are sufficient to execute our operating plan and strategies and to meet the anticipated working capital requirements and settle all expected liabilities for at least twelve months from the issuance date of the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

Our future viability is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital to finance operations. We will need to finance our operations through public or private securities offerings, debt financings or other sources, which may include licensing, collaborations or other strategic transactions or arrangements. Although we have been successful in raising capital in the past, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain funding, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs for product candidates, product portfolio expansion or commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations.

 

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2025 amounted to €133 million primarily related to research and development contracts.
