Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 31, 2020, Acasti Pharma Inc. (“Acasti”) issued a press release announcing that Acasti had completed its revisions to the pre-specified Statistical Analysis Plan (“SAP”) for the TRILOGY 2 Phase 3 trial of CaPre and filed the SAP with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). Acasti remains blinded to the TRILOGY 2 data and remains on track to report topline triglyceride data on or about August 31, 2020.

Acasti also announced that it plans to host a conference call on or about August 31, 2020 to discuss the TRILOGY 2 topline results as well as provide an update on the timing for reporting of the secondary and exploratory endpoints and the pooled results from both TRILOGY studies. As a result, Acasti will not host its usual quarterly conference call to discuss the financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 but expects to report and file its first fiscal quarter 2021 financial results on August 13, 2020.
