MIRA Pharmaceuticals reports mouse study showing SKNY-1 weight and fat reduction
MIRA Pharmaceuticals announced initial results from an exploratory preclinical pilot study of SKNY-1, its oral obesity drug candidate, in diet-induced obese mice. The study reported statistically significant reductions in body weight and fat mass versus vehicle controls, and compared SKNY-1 with semaglutide on food intake, lean mass, and weight regain, but these are early animal results with no financial figures disclosed.
Key points
- Oral SKNY-1 produced statistically significant reductions in body weight and fat mass versus vehicle-treated mice in a diet-induced obesity model.
- At Day 14, SKNY-1 mice showed no statistically significant lean-mass loss, while semaglutide mice showed statistically significant lean-mass loss.
- During a two-week observation period after treatment stopped, SKNY-1 mice showed slow, limited weight regain, versus rapid rebound with semaglutide.
- The press release is dated October 29, 2026; the company says its next study will measure energy expenditure and metabolic parameters.
