SAN FRANCISCO, March 16, 2026- Structure Therapeutics
Inc. (NASDAQ: GPCR), a clinical-stage global biopharmaceutical company developing novel oral small molecule therapeutics for metabolic
diseases, with a focus on obesity, today announced positive topline data from the ACCESS clinical program of aleniglipron for the treatment
of people living with obesity and/or overweight with at least one weight related co-morbidity. This includes 44-week data from the Phase
2 ACCESS II study and interim data from the ongoing body composition study and the ACCESS open label extension (OLE) study. Aleniglipron
is an investigational orally-available, once-daily, nonpeptide small molecule agonist of the glucagon-like-peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor
designed to address patient needs and accessibility.
In the Phase 2 ACCESS II study, aleniglipron achieved clinically meaningful
and statistically significant placebo-adjusted mean weight loss of 16.3% (39 lbs; p<0.0001) at the 180 mg dose and 16.0% (37 lbs; p<0.0001)
at the 240 mg dose at 44 weeks. In the ACCESS OLE study, aleniglipron achieved continued weight loss from 36 weeks, up to 16.2% (40.5
lbs) with 120 mg at 56 weeks. Both studies continue to demonstrate no evidence of weight loss plateau.
Aleniglipron continues to demonstrate a tolerability profile that is
consistent with the GLP-1 receptor agonist class and a compelling safety profile with no off-target events. In ACCESS II, across all active
arms in participants who reached doses 120 mg or higher from 28 to 44 weeks, there was only one (3.7%) adverse event (AE)-related treatment
With a median follow-up of 20 weeks, the tolerability data as of the
February 20, 2026 cutoff date from the interim analyses of the OLE and the body composition studies provide further support that the use
of 2.5 mg as a lower starting dose very meaningfully reduces the rate of AE-related discontinuations during the titration phase. In the
OLE, with a median follow-up of 20 weeks, there was an overall AE-related discontinuation rate of 2%. In the body composition study, with
a median follow-up of 20 weeks, there was an overall AE-related discontinuation rate of 3.4% in the aleniglipron arm.
Together, these positive efficacy, tolerability and safety findings
continue to support the advancement of aleniglipron into Phase 3 clinical development, with initiation anticipated in the second half
"The totality of efficacy and tolerability data across the Phase
2 program continue to demonstrate clear differentiation of aleniglipron, with the highest weight loss observed for an oral GLP-1RA to
date and a safety profile appropriate for chronic use in a disease that impacts millions of people," said Raymond Stevens, Ph.D.,
CEO of Structure Therapeutics. "The consistent weight loss observed across multiple studies to date reaffirms aleniglipron's
potential to be a best-in-class oral GLP-1, with injectable-like efficacy that could become a backbone oral small molecule therapy for
"The weight-lowering data from these ACCESS studies,
without apparent plateau by Week 56, are encouraging-particularly the weight loss from baseline of up to -15.3% vs +1.1% at
180 mg in ACCESS II that hopefully will be confirmed in larger, longer-term studies," said Julio Rosenstock, MD, Chair of the
ACCESS program Steering Committee and Clinical Professor of Medicine, Univ. of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center. "In
addition, the tolerability profile of starting at a low dose of 2.5 mg and the slow titration, positions the program ready for Phase
ACCESS II Study - Evaluating higher doses up to 240 mg
ACCESS II is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical
study of aleniglipron that enrolled 85 adult participants living with obesity or overweight (defined as a BMI of greater than 25 kg/m2)
with at least one weight-related comorbidity. The 44-week study was designed to evaluate two higher doses of aleniglipron. Participants
started at 5 mg of aleniglipron (or placebo) and followed a 4-week titration schedule up to target doses of 120 mg, 180 mg and 240 mg.
As reported in December 2025, at 36 weeks, each of the three dose cohorts
in the ACCESS II study met statistical significance compared to placebo. Results from the primary efficacy estimandi
at 44 weeks are as follows:
Aleniglipron 120 mg Aleniglipron 180 mg Aleniglipron 240 mg Placebo
Mean percent change in body weight at 44 weeks compared to baseline -13.6 -15.3 -15.0 +1.1
Placebo-adjusted mean percent change in body weight at 44 weeks compared to baseline -14.7 -16.3 -16.0 -
P-value p<0.0001 p<0.0001 p<0.0001 -
Aleniglipron demonstrated a tolerability profile consistent with the
GLP-1 receptor agonist class following repeated, once-daily dosing of up to 240 mg. As expected for the GLP-1 receptor agonist drug class,
the most common AEs were gastrointestinal (GI)-related, and the two most common AEs in the titration phase were nausea and vomiting.
Body Composition Study - Evaluating lower 2.5 mg starting dose
Structure Therapeutics is conducting a randomized, placebo-controlled
body composition study that enrolled 71 adult participants to assess the effect of aleniglipron (up to 120 mg) on body fat loss over a
40-week evaluation period. Participants in the aleniglipron treatment arm start at a 2.5 mg dose, and titrate up monthly to a target dose
Data from a pre-specified interim analysis after a median
follow-up of 20 weeks demonstrated that starting at a lower dose of 2.5 mg for the first four weeks supported a manageable
tolerability profile with meaningful improvements in AE-related discontinuations compared to what was observed at a starting
titration dose of 5 mg in the ACCESS and ACCESS II studies. Additionally, at a 2.5 mg start and after a median follow up of 20 weeks
(~ 30 mg titration step) aleniglipron showed a 6.8% weight loss.
ACCESS Open-Label Extension Study - Following randomized 36-week
period, evaluating lower 2.5mg starting dose in the placebo crossover arm and efficacy beyond 36 weeks in previously treated participants
Following the 36-week randomized controlled portion of the Phase 2b
ACCESS study, participants were provided an option to roll over into the OLE and receive aleniglipron for an additional 36 weeks. A pre-specified
interim analysis after a median follow-up of 20 weeks (a total of 56 weeks) demonstrated continuing weight loss in all dose cohorts, with
no evidence of weight loss plateau. Patients who received aleniglipron in the three active dose arms during the initial double-blind portion
were titrated to a maximum dose of 120mg during the OLE. These patients achieved continued weight loss of up to 16.2% from baseline out
Participants who received placebo in the initial double-blind portion
transitioned to aleniglipron at a starting dose of 2.5 mg and titrated monthly to a target dose of 120 mg. Initial data from this group
of participants after a median follow-up of 20 weeks are consistent with the findings from the body composition study, showing that starting
at a 2.5 mg and titrating slowly was associated with a meaningful improvement in key tolerability markers compared to what was observed
in the starting 5 mg titration dose in ACCESS and ACCESS II studies.
Aleniglipron demonstrated a compelling safety profile in more than
625 participants across all studies. Importantly, to date, there have been no cases of drug-induced liver injury, no persistent liver
enzyme elevations, and no QTc prolongation across all aleniglipron studies.
Data from ACCESS, ACCESS II, body composition, and the ACCESS OLE studies
continue to provide a strong foundation to advance aleniglipron into Phase 3 clinical development. The Company has a Type B End-of-Phase
2 meeting with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scheduled in the second quarter of 2026 to finalize the Phase 3 design,
which is currently designed with a starting titration dose of 2.5 mg with the intent to evaluate multiple doses up to 240 mg. Structure
Therapeutics anticipates initiating the Phase 3 program in the second half of 2026.
