On November 15, 2024, Altimmune, Inc. presented data from its 12-week Phase 1b trial of pemvidutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) at The Liver Meeting® of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
The data were derived from an analysis of plasma samples from subjects who completed a randomized placebo-controlled Phase 1b trial of pemvidutide in subjects with overweight or obesity and MASLD. In the Phase 1b clinical trial, 94 subjects with obesity or overweight and liver fat content (LFC) greater than or equal to 10% were dosed 1:1:1:1 to pemvidutide (1.2mg, 1.8mg and 2.4mg) or placebo administered once-weekly subcutaneously for 12 weeks. In this study, pemvidutide reduced LFC relative to baseline by up to 68.5% and decreased total cholesterol and triglycerides by up to 12.2% and 44.6%, respectively, after 12 weeks of treatment.
