Metavia Doses First Patient in Higher-Dose Phase 1 Obesity Study for DA-1726
Summary
MetaVia Inc. has dosed the first patient in the higher-dose portion of its Phase 1 study for DA-1726, a GLP-1 and glucagon dual agonist targeting obesity. This represents a positive operational milestone for the company's lead pipeline candidate. While Phase 1 is an early stage of clinical development, progress in this high-interest therapeutic area is important for a micro-cap biotech, especially given the company's recent "going concern" warning and dilutive financing. Data from the Phase 1 Part 3 trial is expected in Q4 2026, which will be a key catalyst to watch.
