ALT -54% on purportedly-positive phase-2 obesity data for Pemvidutide:

ALT’s weight-loss efficacy data are no better than what patients are already achieving with approved GLP-1 drugs such as NVO’s Wegovy and LLY’s Mounjaro, and its safety/tolerability data may be worse. Hence, the Pemvidutide program looks like it won’t be competitive unless the phase-3 data are considerably better than the (interim) phase-2 data, which is pretty unlikely.
