Aardvark Therapeutics: Regulatory Uncertainty Clouds ARD-101 Path Forward

Aardvark Therapeutics, Inc. faces a pivotal regulatory setback as the FDA placed a clinical hold on ARD-101 due to unexpected cardiac signals. AARD now trades as a cash-backed option, with the stock reflecting little value beyond its $91M cash position and a 1.15x price-to-book ratio.
