Reminder—A link to the latest version of Mufaso’s table on oral weight-loss drugs resides in the Compilations section at the bottom of the main page for the Biotech Values board.
UPDATED 07/07/24-List of ORAL Weight loss candidates.
07/07/2024 Changes
Most Interesting NME's as peptides/large molecules
Owner Drug MOA Comments
VKTX VK2809 GLP1/GIP Had exceptional tolerability in Ph1 while providing 3.3% weight loss vs placebo. Longer/larger trial may show improved benefits due to long half life.
NVO Amycretin GLP1/Amylin Great topline wt. loss in ph1 but... Not progressing until injectable form data out...very limited data released by NVO…small study. This is a combination of GLP1 and amylin a single drug.
Hercules HRS-9531 GLP1/GIP Hercules is private co formed from 4 JV firms licensing from Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceutical. This dual agonist is being trialed in both oral and subq forms. No public data available
Most Interesting NME's small molecules from PUBLIC companies
Owner Drug MOA Comments
LLY Orforglipron GLP1 In ph2 the highest dose of 120mg got 3% weight loss at 4 wks, 8% at 8wks, and 13% at 36 weeks per GSBR comparison presentation
AZN AXD5004 GLP1 2 Phase 2b studies planned (Obese and T2D)- small molecule GLP1- AZN paid 185mill + up to 1.8B milestones + royalties for compound
PFE PF-06954522 GLP1 GLP1 for Type 2 Diabetes - just entered Ph1- very little info
GPCR GSBR-1290 GLP1 In ph2 study only showed 4% weight loss at 8weeks but released updated data to show 6.2% at 12 wks. Still looks inferior to LLY's Orforglipron for both weight loss and T2D (Significant weight loss shown in 28day Phase 1 (up to 4.9%) was not borne out in larger ph2 study) Note that PBO weight loss was as 0% so PBO adjusted and absolute weight loss %’s ar4e the same.
TERN TERN-601 GLP1 Data due 2h24 from phase 1.
PFE Not Named GLP1 Oral in Ph1- mentioned Leerink. M Dolsten said ->The second is another GLP-1 that has some different features also in the clinic and looks encouraging when it comes to PK and dose.
PFE Not Named Non-GLP1 See #msg-173587109. Also- At Leerink M Dlosten said "But it's one of those mechanisms that being validated by biologicals from companies that are in that space,...the type of mechanism that you hear from Lilly and Novo. ... being the first company to make an oral version of it.
Most Interesting NME's small molecules from PRIVATE companies
Empros EMP16 Non GLP1 Avg 8% wt. loss over a year. targeted at maintenance. Uses a combo of two off patent drugs Orlistat and Acarbose.
NodThera NT-0796 NLRP3 Not as effective as a GLP1 for weight loss but may be for those who can't tolerate GLP1 or has cardio issues
Kallyope K757&K833 Hormone new oral nutrient receptor agonists that stimulate the secretion of multiple appetite-suppressing satiety hormones
Hercules HRS-7525 GLP1 In Chinese ph2 trial. Hercules is private co formed from 4 JV firms licensing from Jiangsu Hengrui- very little public data.
Aphaia APHD-012 Hormone Specially coated oral glucose. In Ph2. Private company
Aardvark ARD-101 TAS2R TAS2R agonist that is supposedly activating GLP1 and CCK. This drug originally was for the rare disease market for Prader-Willi syndrome a rare genetic form of obesity see #msg-174141586
May surprise
Owner Drug MOA Comments
PFE PF-06882961 GLP1 Danuglipron- Small Molecule- completed ph1 and in ph2b
NOVO Rybelsus GLP1 Semaglutide- approved for Diabetes only but used off label
GILD GS-4571 GLP1 did preclinical work with obese monkeys that showed some promise.
Not going forward
Owner Drug MOA Comments
PFE Lotiglipron GLP1 Discontinued due to elevated liver enzymes
AMGN AMG736 Undisclosed Dropped pursuit of oral and going full speed ahead with Maritide AMG133 (injectable) instead.
PBMs cause higher drug prices, FTC says:
https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/big-pharmacy-benefit-managers-increase-drug-costs-ftc-says-c6a40ee6
Roche enters_the CGM market—in EU only—(for now):
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/07/09/2910036/0/en/Roche-receives-CE-Mark-for-its-AI-enabled-continuous-glucose-monitoring-solution-offering-critical-predictions-to-people-living-with-diabetes.html
This may explain why ABT and DXCM are down 2%-3% this week.
OPT/OPT.AX touts relevance of VEGF-C/VEGF-D pathways_in wAMD:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/07/09/2910252/0/en/Opthea-Announces-Publication-on-VEGF-C-and-D-Signaling-Pathways-as-Potential-Targets-for-Treatment-of-Wet-AMD.html
OPT-302 phase-2b data in wAMD: #msg-150372392. OPT302 is also being tested in DME, as far as I know (#msg-156178510).
AEON repositions ABP-450 as_a potential Botox biosimilar:
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/aeon-biopharma-announces-strategic-reprioritization-120000126.html
AEON is nearly insolvent (#msg-174417740), so it’s hard to see how they complete a phase-3 trial to obtain FDA approval using the 351(k) pathway.
This looks like another instance of Zebra’s Law.
Reminder: ABP-450 is the same drug as EOLS’ Jeuveau, sourced from Korea’s Daewoong.
Thanks, db. Excluding 2008—when a severe bear market lowered valuations enough to generate a 112% average buyout premium—I do not discern a pattern in the data.
It may be that the average buyout premium in a given year is inversely related to the average deal size for that year.
Having survived endolphthalmitis resulting from a leaky glaucoma surgery bleb many years ago with vision intact, I can testify it is not a side effect I care to experience again. Indeed, I keep a bottle of antibiotics in my refrigerator as a prophylactic for situations where I have any reason to believe I might have an eye infection.
If, as you say, patients "substantially preferred" the implant over monthly injections notwithstanding the fact that the insertion is not trivial and the risks described in the package insert WorstLuck linked to are pretty horrifying, that suggests to me that the demand for a longer lasting but safer product is huge.
In the case of EYPT, bioerodible.
If I get a burger from a drive thru - the burger is mostly bioabsorbable through digestion but the packaging, which may be biodegradable, would be hard or impossible to digest.
They may all technically be a form of biodegradable, but when asked to compare a 'canister' to something 'biodegradable' all that comes to mind is a landfill, lol. [eom]
Use bioabsorbable or bioresorbable if you prefer.
No problem (eom).
Dew, hope you don't mind I linked to and used your data(?) https://stocktwits.com/bs010101/message/578825976
Pretty sure biodegradable isn't the term you want.
Wiki:
Addendum—The pros/cons of a refillable implant versus a biodegradable implant for wAMD would seem to be apropos to the threads on OCUL and EYPT.
Thanks. Didn’t think so, but thought I’d ask.
PLSE. Dew a little " blast from the past "....or Duggan strikes again
Roche’s Susvimo—(6mo Lucentis implant)—back_on_US_market_for_wAMD_following_quality-control_enhancements:
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/07/08/2909827/0/en/Roche-to-reintroduce-Susvimo-in-the-US-for-people-with-neovascular-age-related-macular-degeneration-nAMD.html
Susvimo won FDA approval for wet AMD in Oct 2021, but Roche recalled the product one year later due to quality-control issues (https://www.gene.com/download/pdf/Susvimo_DHCP_Important_Prescribing_Information_2022-10-18.pdf ).
Susvimo is refillable, not biodegradable.

Re: SOLV-MDWD
GLP- only approved for TD2 (and obesity). True, and at a basic level, this makes sense since GLP-1 mainly encourages the pancreas to produce more insulin and in TD1, the pancreas are not functioning. But apparently there are studies using GLP-1 in TD1 and off label use. Likely better sources but here is one discussion;

This is company's CEO comment in Goog auto translation:
Is_this_strictly_for type 2 diabetes, versus type 1?
I.e., T2D Implies Type two diabetes, often associated with obese patients, as opposed to type one diabetics, who are born that way, and have to start taking insulin from a very young age.
I’m told that as young children they are given a banana or an orange to start stabbing with a needle so they can get used to doing it into their own skin in order to deliver insulin.
That, plus watching what you eat from childhood, can’t be a lot of fun.
Thanks, Midas. Is there any hint about who is the source for Yoram Gavizon's report?
I am long SOLV as a consequence of having owned 3M.
Best critique I've seen. TLDR: the propensity score matching didn't control for severity of T2D (eg duration of disease, other treatments, HbA1c) and Ozempic isn't first line treatment. So by definition the more severe diabetics were more likely to get Ozmpic
DO GLP-1 Agonists Really Cause Eye Disease
— Ed Livingston (@ehlJAMA) July 7, 2024
There has been a huge amount of press about a report showing an association between the use of GLP-1 agonists and Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)https://t.co/unSdVTE6Zs

Yoram Gavizon - A reputable reporter for the financial newspaper
JAMA paper - NAION risk associated with GLP-1 meds
I don't know if you are skeptical or not but you did say it is reasonable to be skeptical. I certainly am skeptical of this. NAION risk didn't show up according to Novo in any of their much larger trials. This JAMA paper cited trial was relatively small in comparison to the prior NOVO studies. Also, this was a single center study where investigator bias may have shown up.

Mediwound which developed a product for healing wounds, became an attractive target for acquisition
A successful trial of the flagship product that showed superiority over the leading product for healing chronic wounds, fundamental changes in insurance policy in the US and the product's success in treating the burns of the war-wounded in Gaza - all of these made Mediwound an attractive asset for wound healing companies ¦ The American Solventum is interested in acquiring Mediwound at a premium of 118% at its current price

Vericel Enters into Exclusive License Agreement with MediWound for North American Rights to

Thanks for that link to a MDWD rumor(?). We hold shares of 3M, SOLV, as well as ~ 15k shares of VCEL….I could be wrong, but doesn’t VCEL have some exclusive rights to MDWD burn therapy IP at least in the U.S.?
MDWD +35% on rumored buyout interest from SOLV:
https://invezz.com/news/2024/07/05/mediwound-stock-soars-on-solventum-takeover-interest/
The above article does not give the source of the rumor.
SOLV is the recent (4/1/24) healthcare spinoff from 3M (#msg-174387294).
cabotegravir is approved for Prep already, and also superior efficacy to oral Prep in studies. However it is every other month not every 6 months, there were some breakthrough infections, and it is associated with more discomfort. You also have the theoretical risk of integrase resistance which is currently the backbone of first line therapy for most patients.
GSK will probably talk about their longer acting cabotegavir formulation, they are also working on subcutaneous, but I do think GILD will retain the clear edge here for those that do want long acting prep

Morgan Stanley says impact to Lilly GLP-1 opportunity from NAION link 'very low'
Morgan Stanley notes that following a JAMA publication discussing an increased risk of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or NAION, in patients who received Novo Nordisk's (NVO) semaglutide that the firm received some inbound questions on the GLP-1 safety profile. In an accompanying editorial in JAMA discussing the study, the author noted that at this time the potential risk of NAION should not deter the use of GLP-1s in people with type 2 diabetes or obesity, notes the analyst, who also notes Novo Nordisk has commented that the risks aren't something they have seen in their extensive clinical trial programs or pharmacovigilance surveillance, which is why it is not noted in the label.
From an Eli Lilly (LLY) perspective, any link between NAION and GLP-1s remains subject to further exploration, but at this point the firm sees the risk and potential impact to the commercial opportunity as "very low," the analyst tells investors. The firm maintains an Overweight rating and $1,023 price target on Eli Lilly shares.
