December 2023 NASDAQ: NRBO 1 Jan 2025 NASDAQ: MTVA DA-1241 Phase 2a Topline Data MASH-TAG 2025 2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Secur

Key Takeaway: MTVA's DA-1241 Phase 2a trial has reported promising topline data showing significant reductions in ALT, HbA1C, CAP, and FAST scores compared to placebo. The study included various dosing regimens and demonstrated a strong safety profile in patients with presumed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Importantly, the company is financially well-positioned with approximately $21.7 million in cash, which supports its operations and future studies. However, the prognosis relies on various uncertain factors as highlighted in the forward-looking statements.
