Viking Therapeutics, Inc.（VKTX）今日盘前股价大涨12.26%，引起了市场的高度关注。
消息面上，公司宣布计划在今年第三季度将其试验性口服肥胖症药物VK2735推进到后期试验阶段。公司认为，同时提供口服和注射剂型是VK2735区别于竞争药物的一个重要因素，因为目前还没有其他双效或三效激动剂同时提供这两种剂型。
中期研究数据显示，VK2735口服片剂每日一次，在13周后帮助患者平均体重下降达12.2%。这一进展被视为公司在肥胖症治疗领域的重要里程碑，增强了投资者对其药物商业化前景和未来增长潜力的信心。此外，公司表示其充足的现金储备（截至2025年底持有7.06亿美元）将支持VK2735的后期研究顺利完成。
