Veru: Saving Muscle Mass Amidst The GLP-1 Drug Boom

  • Veru Inc. has pivoted to focus on preventing lean mass reduction in patients using GLP-1 agonists, leveraging its lead asset, enobosarm. A Phase 2b trial showed that a 3mg dose of Enobosarm reduces lean mass loss by 99%, preserves physical function, and enhances selective fat loss when combined with semaglutide (Wegovy). VERU's lean balance sheet, with $20 million in cash and no debt, positions it favorably to take advantage of near-term catalysts.
