MetaVia reports 68% placebo-adjusted liver fat cut in DA-1726 Phase 1 interim data
MetaVia said interim Part 3B data from its Phase 1 trial of DA-1726 showed a 68% placebo-adjusted reduction in liver fat and 13.5% placebo-adjusted weight loss after 16 weeks, with 15 DA-1726-treated and four placebo participants in the interim analysis. The company said the results support a planned 48-week Phase 2 study in up to 150 patients with MetALD and ALD, targeted to begin in the second half of 2027, but the sample is small and full data are not due until the first quarter of 2027.
Key points
- Liver fat (MRI-PDFF) fell 68% placebo-adjusted at Day 109 (p<0.001); all five participants with baseline steatosis fell below 5%
- Body weight fell 13.5% placebo-adjusted (p<0.001); HbA1c fell 0.24 percentage points versus placebo (p=0.006) in participants without diabetes
- One serious adverse event, severe vomiting, was considered possibly related to treatment; the participant recovered
- Full Part 3A and 3B data expected in Q1 2027; Phase 2 study targeted to start in 2H 2027
