Overview
Viking Therapeutics has demonstrated strong clinical results with its lead programs. VK2735, a dual GLP‑1/GIP agonist for obesity, showed up to ~14% weight loss in a Phase II trial and will enter Phase III in H1'2025. An oral version of VK2735 also showed promising efficacy (~8% weight loss in four weeks post-treatment). VK2809 met primary/secondary endpoints in a large Phase IIb NASH study with significant reductions in liver fat and LDL-C. VK0214 reduced very long-chain fatty acids safely in X‑ALD patients during early trials.
