Theratechnologies Presents Novel Data at ACTHIV 2025 Underscoring Importance of Managing Excess Visceral Abdominal Fat (EVAF) in People with HIV
VAMOS analysis highlights link between EVAF and reduced muscle quality
Case series reports success with combination tesamorelin/GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy
MONTREAL, May 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Theratechnologies Inc. ('Theratechnologies' or the 'Company') (TSX: TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced two poster presentations at the 19th Annual American Conference for the Treatment of HIV (ACTHIV 2025), taking place May 1-3 in Chicago, Ill. Both presentations focus on issues surrounding excess visceral abdominal fat (EVAF), a common comorbidity in people with HIV (PWH).
One poster presents a new analysis of data from the Visceral Adiposity Measurement and Observations Study (VAMOS), in which EVAF was associated with reduced muscle quality in aging PWH. VAMOS is the first trial designed to improve the understanding of the impact of EVAF on cardiovascular disease, steatotic liver disease, insulin resistance, and other metabolic parameters in PWH. The second presentation reports on a first-of-its-kind case series in which the combination of tesamorelin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) therapy was highly effective in reducing both EVAF and obesity in a real-world setting.
'We are proud to continue our exploration into the complexities of excess visceral abdominal fat in people with HIV,' said Christian Marsolais, Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Theratechnologies. 'As people with HIV live longer, analyses such as the data we are presenting at ACTHIV are critical to addressing this population's evolving health needs. Our research adds to the growing understanding that body composition, most importantly EVAF, is a key factor in aging-related functional decline in HIV, and we are committed to investigating this complex relationship.'
VAMOS Analysis
Poster Title: Reduced Muscle Quality is Highly Prevalent in Aging People with HIV (PWH) and is Associated with Excess Visceral Abdominal Fat (EVAF)
First Author: Zachary Henry, DO, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
In the latest analysis from the multicenter VAMOS study, researchers investigated how EVAF, compared to subcutaneous fat, is associated with muscle quality in PWH on modern anti-retroviral regimens, and explored potential drivers of this relationship. Among the 170 participants, EVAF prevalence was 58%. Muscle quality was found to be lower with increasing age of participants (r= -0.465; p<0.0001), but was not significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI) (r= -0.118; p=0.124). EVAF was associated with lower skeletal muscle quality, as demonstrated by lower muscle mean attenuation (r= -0.445; p<0.0001). The researchers concluded that increased levels of visceral fat – more so than subcutaneous fat or increasing BMI – strongly correlate with reduced skeletal muscle quality, which may amplify age-related functional declines.
Tesamorelin/GLP-1 RA Case Series
Poster Title: High Levels of Treatment Success Seen with Combined Use of Tesamorelin and GLP1-RAs in People with HIV
First Author: Daniel Lee, MD, University of California San Diego Department of Medicine, San Diego, Calif.
In the case series, investigators reported on the real-world use of tesamorelin for the treatment of EVAF in PWH, in combination with GLP-1 RAs, which are commonly used for diabetes and obesity management in the general population. Among the seven PWH evaluated in the case series, tesamorelin was initiated first in all cases to address EVAF, with a mean reduction in waist circumference of 1.3 inches. The principal reasons for adding a GLP-1-RA included improving BMI and diabetic control. Following at least six months of combination therapy, patients saw mean reductions in weight (-13 pounds), BMI (-2.2 kg/m2), and waist circumference (-3.4 inches), with six of the seven patients achieving their metabolic and body composition goals. Combination therapy is ongoing in most of the patients (6/7). This is the first known report of the dual use of these agents in PWH, highlighting their complementary but distinct mechanisms of action.
'The combination of tesamorelin and GLP-1 medications represents a new frontier in metabolic care for people with HIV,' noted Dr. Marsolais. 'By distinguishing between and targeting both excess visceral abdominal fat and generalized obesity, treatment strategies can be tailored to address the specific needs of people living with HIV.'

Ozempic Alternative May Offer Weight Loss Without Injections or Muscle Loss
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A new weight loss pill currently undergoing clinical trials could help burn fat and lower blood sugar levels like Ozempic and similar GLP-1 agonists, but without muscles loss as a potential side-effect. This is the conclusion of a new study by an international team of researchers led from the biotech firm Atrogi AB. "This drug represents a completely new type of treatment and has the potential to be of great importance for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity," said paper author professor Shane Wright of the Karolinska Institutet in a statement. "Our substance appears to promote health aging weight loss—and, in addition, patients do not have to take injections." Stock image of weight loss pills. Stock image of weight loss pills. celsopupo/iStock / Getty Images Plus GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic work, in part, by altering gut-brain signals to decrease hunger; however, their side effects can include a loss in muscle mass. The new drug, in contrast, is a type of so-called "β2 agonist" which works by activating signaling pathways in the body in such a way that has a positive effect on muscles. Unlike existing β2 agonists, however, it does not have the drawback of overstimulating the heart. In mice models of diabetes and rat models of obesity, the drug has demonstrated benefits for both body composition and blood sugar control. "Our results point to a future where we can improve metabolic health without losing muscle mass," said paper co-author and Stockholm University molecular biologist professor Tore Bengtsson in a statement. "Muscles are important in both type 2 diabetes and obesity—and muscle mass is also directly correlated with life expectancy." While the effectiveness of the new treatment has yet to be evaluated in humans, a phase I clinical trial (which involved 48 healthy subjects and 25 people with type 2 diabetes) has shown that the drug is well-tolerated in humans. A further advantage of the new drug, the team explained, is that because it has a different mechanism of action to Ozempic and other GLP-1 agonists, they could be taken together. "This makes them valuable both as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with GLP-1 drugs," explained Wright. With this initial study complete, researchers are now looking to undertake a larger clinical study to see if the drug offers the same benefits to humans with type 2 diabetes or obesity as it did in the mice models of these conditions.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market To Observe Growth at a CAGR of 6.1% by 2033
The global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market is undergoing gradual yet impactful transformation, driven by advancements in neurodegenerative disease research, gene-targeted therapies, and biomarkers innovation. Emerging therapeutic approaches, including antisense oligonucleotides and monoclonal antibodies, are enhancing precision treatment for genetically defined amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) subtypes, such as SOD1-linked ALS. Although ALS remains a rare condition, with an incidence of about 2 per 100,000 annually, it is receiving increased attention due to heightened awareness, improved diagnostic capabilities, and robust investment in R&D. The evolving treatment landscape is also benefiting from a growing emphasis on personalized medicine, which is reshaping disease management strategies for this devastating condition. Chicago, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market is projected to grow from USD 724.5 million in 2024 to USD 1,234.5 million by 2033, reflecting a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period. This moderate yet steady expansion is supported by a rising aging population, advancements in disease-modifying therapies, and increasing prevalence rates. Although curative therapies remain elusive, the pipeline is increasingly populated with targeted investigational drugs, including small molecules, peptides, and biologics. Institutions and regulatory agencies are placing a growing focus on biomarker validation to accelerate clinical development and improve treatment outcomes. The recognition of biomarkers such as neurofilament light chain (NfL) as indicators of therapeutic response marks a pivotal step forward in streamlining ALS drug development. Download Free Sample Pages: The rising incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, particularly among adults aged 60 to 79, underscores the growing healthcare burden. In the U.S., the National ALS Registry estimated over 32,800 cases in 2022, with projections nearing 36,300 by 2030. The progressive nature and high mortality rate of ALS necessitate rapid intervention and proactive management. The predominance of sporadic ALS, comprising 90% of all cases, presents challenges in early detection and treatment targeting. Conversely, familial ALS, which accounts for roughly 10%, presents distinct genetic markers such as C9ORF72 and SOD1 mutations, offering a clearer path for precision therapies like Qalsody (Tofersen), which received FDA approval in 2023. Innovative drug approvals and clinical research are driving optimism. Treatments such as Riluzole, Edaravone, and more recently, gene-targeted agents like Tofersen and AMX0035, have brought incremental benefits. However, setbacks remains, for example; AMX0035 (Relyvrio) was withdrawn in 2024 following unsatisfactory phase III results. Nonetheless, therapeutic progress continues, with a growing number of trials exploring novel approaches, including stem cell-based interventions and gene editing technologies. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has committed substantial funding, including a $25 million investment over five years, to accelerate ALS research and drug discovery efforts. Despite these advances, the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market continues to face notable challenges. The high cost of care, particularly in late-stage disease, imposes a significant financial burden. Treatment expenses in the U.S. can exceed $120,000 annually as the disease progresses, compounded by delayed diagnoses and complex care requirements. Furthermore, innovative gene therapies while promising carry a high price tags, as seen with Qalsody, which costs over $16,000 per 15 mL dose. Nevertheless, the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market holds promising potential, bolstered by biomarker innovation, gene-specific therapies, and a commitment to earlier diagnosis and intervention. With increasing efforts from academic research centers, pharmaceutical companies, and patient advocacy groups, the field is gradually shifting from symptomatic care toward disease-modifying approaches. As regulatory pathways evolve and precision medicine takes hold, the market is expected to offer more effective and personalized treatments, transforming the outlook for patients living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).Market Forecast (2033) USD 1,234.5 million CAGR 6.1% Top Driver Increasing Incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Among the Aging Population Top Trend Emerging Biomarkers in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Top Challenge Elevated Cost of Treating Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Biomarker Innovation: Advancing Diagnostic Precision and Accelerating ALS Therapeutics Rapid strides in biomarker research are transforming the treatment paradigm for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), ushering in a new era of precision diagnostics and targeted therapeutic strategies. Historically constrained by delayed diagnoses and limited tools for tracking disease progression, the ALS field is now benefitting from biomarker technologies that enhance early detection, improve patient monitoring, and streamline the development of novel therapies. A pivotal breakthrough came in 2023 when the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to Tofersen (Qalsody), establishing neurofilament light chain (NfL) as a qualified response biomarker. Clinical data revealed that reductions in NfL were indicative of slower neurodegeneration, validating its role in assessing treatment effectiveness. Building on this momentum, researchers are expanding their focus to identify other biomarkers, including abnormal forms of the TDP-43 protein, strongly associated with ALS pathology. Early detection of these proteins in cerebrospinal fluid or blood may enable real-time disease monitoring and inform more individualized treatment plans. Public-sector institutions are playing a key role in driving this progress. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is actively funding initiatives aimed at validating emerging biomarkers, particularly to shorten diagnostic timelines for patients with atypical or early-stage ALS. These efforts are critical to improving prognostic accuracy and tailoring therapeutic approaches to each patient's disease trajectory. As biomarker science continues to evolve, its integration into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment and research is poised to deliver meaningful clinical and commercial impact. From optimizing trial design to facilitating faster regulatory approvals, biomarkers are redefining how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is diagnosed and managed moving the field closer to a future of earlier intervention, personalized care, and more effective therapies Global Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Treatment Market: Regional Drivers Shaping the Future of Neuromuscular Care The global amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa, with North America maintaining a dominant position. In the United States alone, an estimated 30,000 individuals are currently living with ALS, underscoring the urgent need for effective therapeutic options. The region leads in research and development, with most ALS medications receiving initial regulatory approval there. Key organizations like the ALS Association play a pivotal role in advancing treatment efforts, supporting a wide range of initiatives including grant-funded stem cell therapy programs.

Breakthrough Therapy Designation based on promising early clinical evidence observed with daraxonrasib in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) RASolute 302, a Phase 3 registrational study of daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC, expected to substantially complete enrollment this year REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to daraxonrasib, the company's RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, for previously treated metastatic PDAC in patients with KRAS G12 mutations. The Breakthrough Therapy Designation is based on encouraging data from the Phase 1 RMC-6236-001 clinical trial evaluating daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC. 'This Breakthrough Therapy Designation underscores the enormous need for new treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer and highlights the potentially important role the investigational drug, daraxonrasib, may have in helping patients living with this disease,' said Mark A. Goldsmith M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines. 'We look forward to substantially completing enrollment of the RASolute 302 study this year to enable an expected readout in 2026, and should the results support it, working closely with the FDA and other regulatory agencies around the world to bring daraxonrasib to patients as quickly as possible.' Breakthrough Therapy Designation is intended to expedite the development and review of potential new medicines designed to treat serious conditions and address significant unmet medical needs. The medicine needs to have shown encouraging preliminary clinical evidence that demonstrates substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint over available medicines. More than 90% of patients living with PDAC have tumors carrying a RAS cancer driver mutation with ~85% carrying a KRAS G12 mutation. Revolution Medicines is currently enrolling patients in RASolute 302, a global Phase 3 registrational study of daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC. The study design focuses on a core population of patients with PDAC harboring RAS mutations at position 12 (RAS G12X) and an expanded population that includes patients with tumors harboring RAS mutations at position G12 (RAS G12X), G13 (RAS G13X) or Q61 (RAS Q61X), or those without any identified targetable mutation. The dual primary endpoints for the study are progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the core patient population. Key secondary endpoints include PFS and OS in the expanded population of patients. Additional information about RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) is available at About Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal AdenocarcinomaPancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by its typically late-stage diagnosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and high mortality rate. In the U.S., recent estimates indicate that in 2024, approximately 60,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer1, and about 50,000 people will die from this aggressive disease. The most common form of pancreatic cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its variants, accounts for approximately 92% of all pancreatic cancer cases2. Due to the lack of early symptoms and detection methods, approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed with PDAC at an advanced or metastatic stage. It is the most commonly RAS-addicted of all major cancers, and more than 90% of patients have tumors that harbor RAS mutations3. Metastatic PDAC remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., with a five-year survival rate of approximately 3%4. About DaraxonrasibDaraxonrasib (RMC-6236) is an oral, direct RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor with the potential to help address a wide range of cancers driven by oncogenic RAS mutations. Daraxonrasib suppresses RAS signaling by blocking the interaction of RAS(ON) with its downstream effectors. It does so by targeting oncogenic RAS mutations G12X, G13X and Q61X that are common drivers of major cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). About Revolution Medicines, Inc. Revolution Medicines is a late-stage clinical oncology company developing novel targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers. The company's R&D pipeline comprises RAS(ON) inhibitors designed to suppress diverse oncogenic variants of RAS proteins.
