Pivotal Trial Fully Randomized and Executing on Plan
REMAIN-1 pivotal cohort completed randomizations in February with >300 participants across >30 U.S. sites; described as the largest sham-controlled GI endoscopy pivotal trial ever conducted. Participant retention exceeds 90% and blinded adverse event profile remains reassuring. Top-line 6-month primary endpoint data expected in early Q4 2026; last patient 6-month visit expected in Q3 2026.
Clear and Growing Clinical Signal
REMAIN-1 midpoint data showed a larger treatment effect in participants with higher run-in GLP-1 weight loss and a statistically significant dose-dependent effect tied to duodenal ablation length. Findings received external validation at DDW (selected for PRESS) and were endorsed by an advisory board of leading clinicians.
Regulatory and Reimbursement Momentum
Favorable FDA feedback on de novo classification (consistent with moderate risk) and Breakthrough Device designation in GLP-1 weight maintenance and Type 2 diabetes. CMS RAPID pathway announced could materially accelerate Medicare national coverage aligned with FDA authorization. Company expects to file a Category III CPT code application this summer (effective 2027) and highlights transitional pass-through payment as a path to favorable hospital margins.
Rejuva Program Advances to Clinical Stage in EU
EU regulatory authorization received to initiate Phase 1/2 first-in-human study of RJVA-001 (Rejuva), described as the first AAV-based gene therapy candidate to enter clinical development for Type 2 diabetes. First-in-human dosing and preliminary data expected in H2 2026, pending site activation. Rejuva clinical development is funded within existing cash runway into early 2027.
Commercial Opportunity and Market Dynamics
Company highlights market tailwinds: tens of millions on GLP-1s, ~1 million patients discontinuing GLP-1s per month, and new oral GLP-1 approvals expanding the population who may later need a durable off-ramp. Management positions Revita as the only potential procedural therapy specifically developed for post-GLP-1 weight maintenance with pivotal data expected within the year.
Cost Discipline and Operating Expense Reductions
Research & development expenses decreased to $15.6M in Q1 2026 from $19.4M in Q1 2025, a reduction of approximately 19.6%, attributed to reduced spending on Revita and Rejuva programs and lower personnel-related costs. Total operating expenses were $3.9M lower versus prior year period.
Improved Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Performance
Adjusted EBITDA improved to negative $18M in Q1 2026 from negative $23M in Q1 2025 (an improvement of $5M). Management attributes decreases in operating expenses as a driver of the improvement.
Capital Plan and Milestone-Focused Runway
Cash and cash equivalents of $63.2M as of 3/31/2026. Management states runway into early 2027, intends no capital raise before pivotal data, and has closed the ATM facility to preserve current capital posture.
