CARMEL, Ind., June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MBX Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel precision peptide therapies for the treatment of endocrine and metabolic disorders, today announced presentations at the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions, taking place June 20-23. 2025, Chicago, IL.
846-P - Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of MBX 1416, a Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Antagonist, in Healthy Volunteers: A Phase 1 Randomized Trial
Presenter: Elisa Fabbrini, MD. PhD.
Session: General Poster Session
Date: Sunday June 22nd, 2025
Time 12:30-1:30pm CT
845-P - MBX 1416, a Selective GLP-1 Antagonist, Elevates and Sustains Blood Glucose in Rats without Change in Body Weight
Presenter: Richard DiMarchi, PhD.
Session: General Poster Session
Date: Sunday June 22nd, 2025
Time: 12:30-1:30pm CT
The findings presented in the posters demonstrate the mechanism of action of MBX 1416 and illustrate its potential benefits as a once-weekly treatment for post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH). MBX announced earlier this year that MBX 1416 demonstrated positive topline results in a Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial in healthy adult volunteers. A Phase 2 trial is expected to be initiated in the second half of 2025.
Following congress publication, the presentations will be available for review on MBX Biosciences publications page https://investors.mbxbio.com/news-events/presentations.
MBX 1416 is an investigational long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor antagonist in development as a potential treatment for PBH. It was designed using the Company’s novel, proprietary PEP™ platform to prevent the occurrence of severe hypoglycemia in individuals with PBH so they can lead healthier and more independent lives.
About Post-bariatric Hypoglycemia
Post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a rare and serious complication of bariatric surgery. PBH is characterized by repeated episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia, triggered by exaggerated secretion of GLP-1 levels following a meal, and can present as early as six months after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Hypoglycemic episodes can occur multiple times per day and can periodically manifest with severe symptoms, such as dizziness, confusion, loss of consciousness or seizure. The unpredictability of hypoglycemic episodes and their associated risks may meaningfully hinder daily activities. As a result, the patient burden can be substantial, and many individuals cannot drive, work, or live alone. To date, there are no approved pharmacotherapies to treat PBH. As the use of surgery to address metabolic conditions continues to rise, the incidence of PBH is expected to increase, reinforcing the need for safe and effective therapies.
