(“Terns” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TERN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of small-molecule product candidates to address serious diseases, including oncology, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and obesity, today announced that new preclinical data from a transgenic mouse model evaluating TERN-601, a novel oral GLP-1R agonist, has been accepted for poster presentation at the American Diabetes Association’s 83rd Annual Scientific Sessions taking place June 23-26, 2023 in San Diego, California. The abstract will also be published online on the journal Diabetes® website. Following are details of the upcoming presentation: Abstract Title:TERN-601, a novel oral GLP-1R agonist, suppresses food intake and improves glucose tolerance in transgenic mice expressing human GLP-1 receptorPresenter:Olivia Osborn, Director of Biology, Terns PharmaceuticalsPoster Session Date/Time:Sunday, June 25, 2023 from 11:30 AM-12:30 PM PT “We are excited to present these data before an audience of world leading endocrinologists,” said Sen Sundaram, chief executive officer at Terns. “Obesity is a growing epidemic and GLP-1 agonists have demonstrated broad metabolic benefits in obesity and Type 2 diabetes in clinical trials. Unfortunately, they are often limited by injectable dosing, poor tolerability and cost concerns. We believe TERN-601 has the potential to provide an alternative that is safe, effective and affordable with the convenience of a once-a-day tablet.” As a reminder, all information contained in the submitted abstract should be considered preliminary and subject to change until the study is fully presented at the 83rd Scientific Sessions.
