Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Study Design and Objectives
INLIGHT is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial in overweight or mildly obese adults (BMI ~32), with no diet or exercise modifications required and over 100 enrolled across US and Europe.
Dosing cohorts included single ascending doses of 75 mg, 240 mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg, with 32 subjects per therapeutic cohort and body composition measured by DEXA.
The study assesses safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, with exploratory endpoints including body composition, biomarkers, and body weight.
Baseline characteristics were balanced across arms, with mean BMI around 32 kg/m².
No diet or exercise modifications were instituted during the trial.
Key Interim Results
A single 240 mg dose of WVE-007 led to a 9.4% reduction in visceral fat, 4.5% reduction in total fat mass, and a 3.2% increase in lean mass at three months, with no significant changes in the placebo group.
Placebo-adjusted reductions in total fat mass and visceral fat were on par or greater than those seen with semaglutide at 12 weeks, but with preservation of lean mass.
Durable, dose-dependent reductions in serum Activin E (>75%) were achieved, supporting the potential for once or twice-yearly dosing.
All adverse events were mild, with no discontinuations, serious events, deaths, or clinically meaningful lab changes through 600 mg.
No clinically meaningful changes in lipids or other laboratory measurements, including liver function tests, were observed.
Mechanism and Differentiation
WVE-007 is a GalNAc-siRNA targeting INHBE (Inhibin E), reducing hepatic Activin E production and promoting adipocyte lipolysis, leading to fat loss while preserving muscle.
The approach is orthogonal to GLP-1s, which act via appetite suppression and often cause muscle loss.
Human genetic data support the mechanism, with INHBE loss-of-function carriers showing healthier metabolic profiles.
Proprietary SpiNA chemistry enhances silencing potency and durability, differentiating WVE-007 from other siRNA approaches.
Preclinical data in mice showed durable reductions in Activin E, significant fat loss, and muscle preservation after a single dose.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
