Frequently asked questions about MBX-2982

What is MBX-2982 used for?

MBX-2982 is an investigational small molecule developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It was studied as a once-daily oral monotherapy in adults with type 2 diabetes. It has not been approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What does MBX-2982 target?

MBX-2982 targets GPR119, a G protein-coupled receptor. It acts as a GPR119 agonist. GPR119 is expressed in the pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, where receptor activation is associated with glucose-dependent insulin release and incretin hormone secretion.

Who is developing MBX-2982?

MBX-2982 is being developed by Gilead Sciences, Inc., which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker GILD. Gilead holds the asset as part of its metabolic disease pipeline.

What phase is MBX-2982 in?

MBX-2982 is in Phase 2 development. It is an investigational drug and has not received FDA approval. The Phase 2 program in type 2 diabetes has been completed, and no trials of MBX-2982 are currently active.

What clinical trials is MBX-2982 in?

MBX-2982 has been evaluated in one completed Phase 2 trial, NCT01035879. That study assessed the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of daily MBX-2982 given as monotherapy for four weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes. It enrolled 100 participants across the United States, Georgia, and India.

How was the MBX-2982 Phase 2 trial designed?

NCT01035879 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study of MBX-2982 as monotherapy in adults with type 2 diabetes. It enrolled 100 participants aged 18 years and older of any sex, and it did not use biomarker-based patient selection.
