Terns Pharmaceuticals shares new TERN-601 preclinical data at ADA

Terns Pharmaceuticals announced that new preclinical data from a transgenic mouse model evaluating TERN-601, the Company’s novel oral GLP-1R agonist, were highlighted in a poster presentation at the American Diabetes Association’s 83rd Annual Scientific Sessions, which took place from June 23-26, 2023 in San Diego. “We are excited by these new preclinical data shared at ADA, which demonstrate the ability of TERN-601 to significantly improve glucose tolerance, suppress food intake and slow gastric emptying in transgenic mice,” said Sen Sundaram, chief executive officer at Terns. “These data are very encouraging and support our plans to initiate a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial in subjects with an elevated body mass index in the second half of this year, with top-line data expected in 2024.”…In addition, Terns announces that management will participate in a Fireside Chat at the Piper Sandler Inaugural Obesity Investor Day and will host a webinar to review Terns’ obesity franchise, including the TERN-601 program and additional development efforts underway in obesity.
