$Altimmune (ALT.US)$ Altimmune Presents Data From Its Phase 2, MRI-Based Body Composition Sub-study Of Pemvidutide In Subjects With Overweight And Obesity
Benzinga· 1 min ago
In an MRI sub-study of 67 subjects from the Phase 2 MOMENTUM obesity trial, 50 of whom were treated with pemvidutide for 48 weeks, the lean loss ratio, defined as the change in lean mass compared to the change in total mass, was 21.9%.
Lean mass preservation was greater in subjects aged 60 years and older, in whom the lean loss ratio was only 19.9%. In addition to lean mass preservation, there was a preferential reduction of VAT, the adipose tissue associated with cardiovascular risk.
At the 2.4mg dose of pemvidutide, VAT was reduced by 25.6% at Week 48 compared to a 20.1% loss in subcutaneous adipose tissue.
