Today, Gubra announced that its partner AbbVie presents detailed data from the 12/13-week Phase 1 study of ABBV-295 in a short oral presentation at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2026 Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy.
The detailed results being presented are from the 60 participants in Part 2B/2C of the MAD study, who were randomized to receive ABBV-295 (n = 45) or placebo (n = 15). Participants had a mean age of 41.5 years and a mean BMI of 29.3 kg/m2, and 88% were male. ABBV-295 was dose-escalated to 4, 6, or 14 mg once weekly, 14 mg every other week, or 8 mg monthly, and administered for 12 or 13 weeks. ABBV-295 is an investigational therapy that represents a mechanistically distinct class from incretin-based therapies such as GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists.
“The detailed data presented at EASD further highlight the differentiated profile of ABBV-295, including meaningful weight loss, favorable safety and tolerability, and a pharmacokinetic profile supporting the evaluation of dosing intervals beyond weekly administration. We are pleased to see the program advancing under AbbVie’s leadership,” said Markus Rohrwild, CEO of Gubra.
Key highlights from the short oral presentation include:
