Background of the Investigation
On March 26, 2026, Wave Life Sciences announced positive interim Phase 1 data from INLIGHT, its clinical trial evaluating WVE-007, an investigational INHBE GalNAc-siRNA for people living with overweight or obesity.
Wave reported that, at six-month follow-up, a single 240 mg dose of WVE-007 produced placebo-adjusted reductions in visceral fat of 14.3%, total fat of 5.3%, waist circumference of 3.3%, and body weight of 0.9%, while lean mass increased 2.4%. The Company also reported that, in the 400 mg cohort, three-month data showed placebo-adjusted reductions in visceral fat of 5.0% and total fat of 0.7%, with lean mass preservation.
Following this news, Wave’s stock declined sharply, damaging investors.
In light of these disclosures, Johnson Fistel is investigating whether Wave Life Sciences complied with state and federal laws, including the federal securities laws. If you suffered losses, or are a long-term holder of Wave Life Sciences stock, contact Johnson Fistel.
