Corporate presentation summary
29 May, 2026Strategic focus and pipeline development
Advancing MC4R agonist therapies across genetic, acquired, and next-generation indications, including setmelanotide, bivamelagon, and RM-718 for rare neuroendocrine diseases.
IMCIVREE (setmelanotide) is approved for acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO) in the US and EU, with launches in additional countries planned.
Pipeline includes ongoing and planned trials in congenital HO, Prader-Willi syndrome, and next-generation oral and injectable MC4R agonists.
U.S. patent protection for next-generation assets extends into the 2040s.
Market opportunity and commercial execution
Estimated prevalence for acquired HO: ~10,000 in both the US and Europe, 5,000–8,000 in Japan; Prader-Willi syndrome: ~20,000 in the US, ~400,000 worldwide.
IMCIVREE is available in over 25 countries, with more than 100 employees across 13 countries and eight new country launches in 2025.
Net product revenues have shown steady growth since the BBS launch, reaching $60.1M in Q1 2026.
U.S. launch for acquired HO is off to a strong start, with ~110 patient start forms and >150 unique prescribers as of May 2026.
Clinical efficacy and safety data
Phase 3 trial in acquired HO showed a -18.8% placebo-adjusted BMI reduction at 52 weeks (p<0.0001), with consistent efficacy across age groups and in patients with prior or concomitant GLP-1 use.
Real-world and long-term extension data confirm sustained BMI reductions and improvements in hunger and body composition.
Bivamelagon achieved statistically significant BMI reductions at all doses in a Phase 2 trial, with up to -9.3% mean BMI reduction at 600mg.
Both setmelanotide and bivamelagon demonstrated meaningful reductions in hunger scores.
