Viking Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of innovative therapies for metabolic and endocrine disorders. The company is actively engaged in advancing its pipeline of novel treatments, including VK2735 for obesity and VK2809 for lipid and metabolic disorders.
In its second-quarter 2025 financial results, Viking Therapeutics reported significant progress in its clinical programs, notably the initiation of Phase 3 VANQUISH trials for VK2735 in obesity and the completion of enrollment for the Phase 2 VENTURE-Oral Dosing trial. The company also highlighted continued progress in its amylin program, with an IND filing expected later in the year.
Financially, Viking reported a net loss of $65.6 million for the second quarter, driven by increased research and development expenses. The company’s strong cash position of $808 million at the end of the quarter provides a solid foundation for ongoing and future clinical trials. The increase in expenses reflects the company’s commitment to advancing its clinical pipeline.
Looking ahead, Viking Therapeutics remains focused on delivering key clinical milestones, with top-line results from the VENTURE-Oral study expected in the second half of 2025. The company is well-positioned to continue its development efforts, supported by a robust financial position and a promising pipeline of therapeutic candidates.
