About Veru Inc.
Veru is a late clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative medicines for the treatment of cardiometabolic and inflammatory diseases. The Company’s drug development program includes two late-stage novel small molecules, enobosarm and sabizabulin. Enobosarm, a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), is being developed as a next generation drug that makes weight reduction by GLP-1 RA drugs more tissue selective for loss of fat and preservation of lean mass thereby improving body composition and physical function. Sabizabulin, a microtubule disruptor, is being developed for the treatment of inflammation in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Obesity Program- enobosarm is a next generation drug that makes weight reduction by GLP-1 RA more tissue selective for fat loss– Phase 2b QUALITY clinical study.
On January 27, 2025, the Company announced positive topline results from its Phase 2b, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-finding QUALITY clinical trial to evaluate enobosarm 3mg, enobosarm 6mg, or placebo as a treatment to preserve lean body mass and augment loss of fat in 168 obese or overweight older (>60 years of age) patients receiving semaglutide (Wegovy).

The trial met its prespecified primary endpoint with a statistically significant and a clinically meaningful benefit in the preservation of total lean body mass in all patients receiving enobosarm + semaglutide versus placebo + semaglutide at 16 weeks (71% relative reduction in lean mass loss, p=0.002). The enobosarm 3mg + semaglutide was the best dose with a >99% mean relative reduction in loss of lean mass (p <0.001).
