About Viking Therapeutics (VKTX)

Viking Therapeutics Inc (VKTX) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for metabolic and endocrine disorders. The company's lead candidate is VK2809, an orally available small molecule thyroid hormone receptor beta agonist that is being evaluated for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and dyslipidemia. NASH is a chronic liver disease that is characterized by the accumulation of fat in the liver, leading to inflammation and fibrosis. It is estimated that NASH affects up to 5% of the global population and is a leading cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

In recent news, Viking Therapeutics Inc announced positive results from a Phase 2 study of VK2809 in patients with biopsy-confirmed NASH. The study demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in liver fat content compared to placebo, as well as improvements in key markers of liver health. These results support the potential of VK2809 as a novel treatment for NASH, a disease for which there are currently no approved therapies. The company is now preparing for a Phase 3 clinical trial of VK2809 in NASH patients.
