MIRA Reports Positive 7-Day Dog Study Results for SKNY-1
MIRA Pharmaceuticals reported positive toxicokinetic results from a 7-day repeated-dose study of its obesity candidate SKNY-1 in Beagle dogs, demonstrating dose-dependent systemic exposure and rapid absorption.
The findings support dose selection for the upcoming GLP toxicology program and bolster the IND-enabling pathway for the oral obesity treatment candidate.
SKNY-1 has demonstrated the ability to reduce weight while preserving lean body mass in preclinical models and is not classified as a controlled substance by the DEA.
