The company aims to address medication non-adherence and improve tolerability in obesity and chronic weight management with its long-acting GLP-1 implants.
Vivani Medical has announced plans to begin the first clinical study for its NPM-115 program, focused on a 6-month GLP-1 (exenatide) implant for chronic weight management in obese or overweight patients, in Q4 2024 in Australia, pending regulatory approval. The study, named LIBERATE-1, will test the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of the implant. Patients will receive weekly semaglutide injections for 8 weeks before randomization into three treatment groups. Results are expected in 2025. The company has prioritized obesity treatment due to significant medical need and market demand. Positive preclinical data and FDA clearance for a related program (NPM-119) support the initiative.
Vivani Medical has received FDA clearance for its Investigational New Drug Application (IND) and the lifting of a clinical hold on NPM-119, enabling the initiation of the LIBERATE-1 Phase 1 clinical trial. This trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of NPM-119, a miniature six-month GLP-1 implant for type 2 diabetes. The LIBERATE-1 trial will be the first clinical application of Vivani's NanoPortal™ implant technology in humans. NPM-119 aims to address medication non-adherence and improve tolerability issues associated with oral and injectable type 2 diabetes medications. Vivani is also developing NPM-115 and NPM-139 for chronic weight management. The company anticipates starting the LIBERATE-1 trial in the second half of the year.
Vivani Medical (Nasdaq: VANI) announced positive data on its OKV-119 exenatide implant for feline weight loss, published in BMC Veterinary Research. The study highlights that a single OKV-119 implant delivers exenatide over 3 months, leading to significant weight loss in cats. This reinforces the potential of Vivani's NanoPortal™ technology for addressing obesity in both humans and animals. Vivani's development partner, Okava Pharmaceuticals, is exploring the use of OKV-119 for pre-diabetes, diabetes, and obesity in companion felines. The promising results support further clinical evaluations of the implant for chronic weight management in humans.
