VKTX’s oral formulation of VK2735 is expected to have at best ~60% of the weight-loss efficacy of the injected formulation, according to VKTX’s 2Q23 CC today.
The oral formulation may also have a fasting requirement. When asked about this on the CC, management said this detail has not been disclosed, which implies that there is or may be a fasting requirement. (If there were definitely no fasting requirement, management would presumably have said so.)
