SEATTLE and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Achieve Life Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACHV), a late-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the global development and commercialization of cytisinicline as a treatment for nicotine dependence, today announced that new data evaluating the efficacy of 52 weeks of cytisinicline treatment for cigarette smoking and e-cigarette cessation will be presented at CHEST 2026, held October 18-21 in Phoenix, Arizona.

Achieve Life Sciences is rated a 'buy' as it nears a second NDA resubmission after resolving prior manufacturing issues. ACHV's FDA setback was manufacturing-related, not efficacy or safety, with two successful Phase 3 trials and over 1,500 exposures supporting its profile. ACHV is well-capitalized, holding $188 million in cash post-private placement, sufficient to fund the NDA resubmission and initial launch activities.

Achieve Life Sciences is navigating a manufacturing reset for cytisinicline following a Complete Response Letter citing facility compliance, not efficacy or safety concerns. I remain bullish on ACHV, contingent on resolving manufacturing issues and leveraging a funded transition to commercialization, not market expansion or first-line displacement. ACHV's cash runway, bolstered by $180M upfront financing, appears sufficient through potential FDA approval in 1H 2027, but dilution and arbitration risks must be monitored.
