Welcome to our dedicated page for MetaVia news (Ticker: MTVA), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on MetaVia stock.
MetaVia Inc. (Nasdaq: MTVA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on cardiometabolic diseases, and its news flow centers on the development of two key product candidates: DA-1726 for obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), and vanoglipel (DA-1241) for MASH and type 2 diabetes. Company announcements frequently highlight clinical trial progress, new data readouts, and regulatory or listing updates that are relevant to investors and healthcare professionals following obesity and liver disease therapeutics.
News about DA-1726 includes Phase 1 multiple ascending dose results in obese but otherwise healthy adults, pharmacokinetic data supporting once-weekly subcutaneous dosing, and extended 8-week dosing cohorts at 48 mg. MetaVia has reported statistically significant weight loss, reductions in waist circumference, improvements in fasted glucose, and reductions in liver stiffness as measured by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), along with a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The company also releases updates on scientific presentations at meetings such as ObesityWeek, where DA-1726 data are shared with the medical community.
For vanoglipel (DA-1241), MetaVia’s news coverage includes Phase 2a trial results in presumed MASH patients, showing clinically meaningful reductions in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), improvements in liver inflammation and fibrosis markers, better liver steatosis and stiffness measures, and favorable shifts in plasma lipidomic profiles. The company announces poster presentations at major conferences such as the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) The Liver Meeting, where detailed hepatic and metabolic data are presented.
In addition to clinical data, MetaVia issues news on corporate and capital market developments, including its 1-for-11 reverse stock split and communications regarding compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. Readers of the MTVA news page can expect updates on trial milestones, conference presentations, research collaborations, and listing status, providing a consolidated view of MetaVia’s progress in cardiometabolic and liver disease drug development.
MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) reported positive AI-modeling results from its Syntekabio collaboration, where Syntekabio's DeepMatcher® platform identified inflammatory, cardiometabolic, and cancer-related target pathways for MetaVia's oral GPR119 agonist vanoglipel (DA-1241). The analysis supports MetaVia's focus on MASH and potential type 2 diabetes.
MetaVia noted its Phase 2a study in 109 patients over 16 weeks showed direct hepatic activity, improved glucose metabolism, and a favorable safety and tolerability profile. The company will continue AI-driven exploration to refine indications and optimize vanoglipel's therapeutic profile.
MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) closed an underwritten public offering on Jan 16, 2026, raising approximately $9.3 million gross, which reflects full exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option.

MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) presented positive Phase 2a data for oral GPR119 agonist vanoglipel (DA-1241) in presumed MASH at AASLD 2025.
In a 16-week randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 109 patients, vanoglipel produced mean HbA1c reductions of –0.54%p (monotherapy) and –0.66%p (100 mg + DPP4i) at Week 16; early HbA1c drops were seen by Week 4. Treatment improved liver inflammation, steatosis (CAP), and liver stiffness (VCTE), lowered biomarkers of cell death, inflammation and fibrosis (CK18F/M30, hs-CRP, CCL2, TIMP1), and reduced pathogenic plasma lipids (glycerolipids DG36:4, TG52:4; glycerophospholipids PE38:4, PE38:5). Vanoglipel was well tolerated with no treatment-emergent discontinuations attributed to drug.
MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) reported Q3 2025 results and a corporate update on Nov 6, 2025. Key clinical highlights include dosing the first patient in an 8-week, 48 mg MAD cohort of DA-1726 with top-line data expected by year-end 2025, Phase 1 results showing up to 6.3% mean body-weight reduction, up to 3.9-inch waist reduction, linear dose-proportional PK and an ~80-hour half-life supporting once-weekly dosing. Vanoglipel (DA-1241) Phase 2a showed reductions in liver fat, inflammation and fibrosis; full data to be presented at AASLD 2025. Financially, cash was $14.3M at Sept 30, 2025, expected to fund operations into 2026.
MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) will present new Phase 1 and preclinical data on DA-1726 at ObesityWeek® 2025 (Nov 4-7, 2025). Phase 1 results after four weeks showed favorable safety, tolerability, linear dose-proportional PK with an approximate 80-hour half-life, and clinically meaningful weight loss without titration.
At the 32 mg dose participants had up to 6.3% weight reduction (mean 4.3% at Day 26) and waist decreases up to 3.9 inches. No serious adverse events or discontinuations were reported. Preclinical DIO mouse data showed comparable weight loss to pemvidutide and superior lipid reductions versus pemvidutide and tirzepatide, driven partly by increased energy expenditure.
MetaVia (Nasdaq: MTVA) announced an accepted poster presentation on Vanoglipel (DA-1241), a GPR119 agonist, at the AASLD Liver Meeting 2025 in Washington, D.C., November 7–11, 2025.
The poster reports results from a 16-week randomized placebo-controlled trial in presumed MASH patients assessing hepatoprotective effects through improvements in inflammation and liver metabolism. Presenting author is Rohit Loomba, M.D., MHSc.
