$VKTX biggest issue with Attain maintain trial ( u can look it up ) is $LLY reporting GI issue C/w previous trials. If people face 24% vomit rate despite slow orfor titration then don’t beleive it will be that successful and with 5 kg wt gain For $NVO sema there are ongoing trials. But u probably have to titrate 1-4-9-25 mg over 4 months. So u may gain some wt unless u work on it. Vomit rate with oral sema de novo 30%. Uncertain how much after tirzapetide. But again Orfo seems to cause GI issues post TZP although Lilly provided no details

I would think if it’s the same drug they would not…..

$RVMD $VKTX $MRK ends talk with RVMD Are they going to drop it like they did to Viking a year ago ? I doubt it as it is a bio bull market now . May drop a little but not for long. I thought $30 B was too much risk given many other RAS inh in development although RVMD may reach > $30 on its own ina couple of years. MRK is back into obesity. Its management is very weird and hard to understand .

$VKTX been taking about emerging tolerability of vanquish 1 Compare to amycretin. This is from lancet paper Look at DC rate among higher doses and even the vomit rate was calculated for all ITT pts ( like 4/16 pts in the 5 mg dose. But they claim a lot of DC not due to side effects ? So the vomit rate is significantly higher than 25% even in the smaller 5 mg. If you look at 20 or 60 mg .. the vomit rate is enormous ( although placebo also had high vomit from sc. weird. Very small placebo sample ..). Look at slow escalation rate . Novo can’t escalate anymore. It is a poor drug. Doesn’t matter how many phase 3 trials they would start this year.

$VKTX questions for @biolover and the test of my esteemed Bio pros - if we launched a maintenance dosing study with Subq and PO wouldnt that also be enough evidence that PO will go to Ph3? i guess im not understanding how this wouldnt go to phase 3 given the existing programs underway.

$VKTX All the negative posts! Don’t blame you.. I’ve been in this stock for over 2 years and actually, stupidly bought some at the $85 offering.. figuring it was a $150+ stock.. Been downhill since.. other GLP companies with a weaker, early stage drug got bought out already or at least their stock price has skyrocketed.. GPCR.. MTSR.. etc I’m still confident we will be rewarded but it has been a very weary journey with little hope from management. GL all My 2nd largest holding.

$VKTX $LLY started Triumph 9 with 104 wks if retatrutide in obese non diabetics Lilly likely doing slow escalation and longer duration with Trumph 9 -600 pt. Probably unhappy with DC rate in Trimuph 4 and likely other ongoing retatrutide trials. Lilly will start soon to feel heat coming from VK2735 ( I know there are people here who only think big vs small.. and not from drug qualities ) But VK2735 in the hands of $ABBV , $BMY even MRK could pose a serious challenge to Lilly dominance. Unlike $NVO crowd here who are excited about oral semaglutide ( that pts have not tried in market for long yet ) , there is nothing still in NVo pipeline that poses serious threat to Lilly.

$VKTX Ignore the fear-mongers & bashers. Seize the opportunity instead. BUY & Accumulate😉 Down -3.9% EOD, -8.4% YTD with pending Q4'25 earnings CC on Feb 04. With EOP2 FDA meeting minutes on deck that has to potential to confirm oral VK2735 is going straight from P2A-->P3. Hmmm... Sounds like a buying opportunity to me 🤑☘️💎
