"Viking Therapeutics' Oral Weight Loss Pill Shows Promising Results in Clinical Trial"

Viking Therapeutics announces positive results from a Phase 1 clinical trial of VK2735, a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, showing up to 3.3% placebo-adjusted mean weight loss and low rates of gastrointestinal adverse events after 28 days of oral tablet formulation. The company plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in obesity later this year and will host a conference call to discuss the results. VK2735 demonstrated promising early weight loss and tolerability, with potential for additional weight loss with longer treatment duration and higher doses.

Promising Results for Intranasal COVID Vaccine in Early Trials

Codagenix has announced promising findings for its live-attenuated intranasal COVID vaccine candidate, CoviLiv, which prompted robust humoral and cellular immunity in adults during a phase 1 clinical trial. The vaccine, developed in collaboration with the Serum Institute of India, is currently undergoing a phase 3 efficacy trial as part of the WHO Solidarity vaccine trials. Intranasal vaccines are attractive for their needle-free formulation and potential to stimulate mucosal immunity. Codagenix's vaccine, which is easy to administer and doesn't require refrigeration, may be more appealing for use in low-resource settings. The vaccine mimics natural infection and induces a specific type of local immune response, potentially contributing to hybrid immunity.
