Vivani Medical (NASDAQ: VANI) has initiated its first-in-human clinical trial, LIBERATE-1™, testing a novel GLP-1 (exenatide) implant for obesity and overweight treatment at two Australian centers. The trial marks the first clinical application of their proprietary NanoPortal™ drug implant technology, designed to provide comparable efficacy to semaglutide with twice-yearly administration.
The randomized trial will evaluate safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics in participants who will first undergo 8 weeks of semaglutide titration before being randomized into three groups: exenatide implant (n=8), weekly exenatide injections (n=8), or weekly semaglutide injections (n=8) for 9 weeks. Top-line data is expected in mid-2025.
