Barclays 28th Annual Global Healthcare Conference summary
11 Mar, 2026Platform technology and clinical pipeline
Precision endocrine peptides (PEPs) platform enables extended and controlled peptide drug exposure for endocrine and metabolic diseases.
Cleared a key regulatory milestone with FDA for hypoparathyroidism, advancing to phase III in Q3 with a once-weekly PTH replacement therapy.
Obesity portfolio includes MBX 4291 (GLP-1/GIP co-agonist prodrug) targeting once-monthly dosing and improved tolerability, with a 12-week multiple ascending dose readout in Q4.
Additional obesity candidates include single and triple agonists, with candidate selection and development milestones in Q2 and Q3.
Cash runway supports operations into 2029, providing flexibility for advancing programs.
Hypoparathyroidism program and phase III design
Phase III will be a six-month, placebo-controlled study with a primary composite responder endpoint and a key secondary endpoint of urine calcium normalization.
Open-label extension will follow for 78 weeks, with FDA agreement on study design and endpoints.
Differentiation from competitors centers on pre-specified urine calcium endpoint, which could support label claims.
Once-weekly dosing addresses significant patient burden and unmet need, with strong support from patients and endocrinologists.
Market research indicates 80% of endocrinologists would switch patients from daily to weekly therapy if available.
Phase II data and upcoming milestones
Avail phase II showed 63% response at 12 weeks and 79% at six months, with placebo rates comparable to competitors.
Phase III will stratify for endogenous PTH to ensure balanced arms.
One-year follow-up data from Avail phase II to be presented in Q2, including retention, response, biomarkers, urine calcium, bone mineral density, safety, and tolerability.
Expectation is BMD will decrease but remain within normal range for the population.
