Windtree Announces Issuance of Istaroxime Patent for the United States for Acute Heart Failure

1.3 million patients are hospitalized annually in the U.S. from acute heart failure and it is the #1 cause of hospitalization in patients >65 years old

If istaroxime is approved in the US for acute heart failure, this patent would provide protection to 2039

WARRINGTON, Pa., July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. (“Windtree” or the “Company”) (NasdaqCM: WINT), a diversified company focused on revenue generation in multiple growing industries is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued an istaroxime patent for the United States - application number 18/150,870 directed to “ISTAROXIME-CONTAINING INTRAVENOUS FORMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE HEART FAILURE.”

Acute heart failure, or AHF, impacts millions of patients globally and istaroxime has previously completed two positive Phase 2 AHF studies and two positive early cardiogenic shock studies caused by acute heart failure.

“We are pleased to strengthen our intellectual property for istaroxime with this patent for the United States,” said Jed Latkin, CEO of Windtree. “Istaroxime is approaching Phase 3 readiness in cardiogenic shock and acute heart failure. If istaroxime is approved in AHF, this patent would provide protection until 2039. We believe the profile of istaroxime is differentiated from currently available drugs and drug treatment innovation is desired for patients.”

About Istaroxime

Istaroxime is a first-in-class dual-mechanism therapy designed to improve both systolic and diastolic cardiac function. Istaroxime is a positive inotropic agent that increases myocardial contractility through inhibition of Na+/K+- ATPase with a complimentary mechanism that facilitates myocardial relaxation through activation of the SERCA2a calcium pump on the sarcoplasmic reticulum enhancing calcium reuptake from the cytoplasm. Data from multiple Phase 2 studies in patients with early cardiogenic shock or acute decompensated heart failure demonstrate that istaroxime infused intravenously can significantly improve cardiac function and blood pressure without increasing heart rate or the incidence of clinically significant cardiac rhythm disturbances.
