Viking Therapeutics announced that it will present two posters on its VK2735 program at the 33rd European Congress on Obesity (ECO) taking place in Istanbul, Türkiye on May 12-15, 2026. VK2735 is a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors that Viking is developing in subcutaneous and oral formulations for the potential treatment of various metabolic disorders, including obesity.

At ECO, Viking will present a poster highlighting data from its Phase 2 VENTURE-Oral Dosing trial, focusing on key efficacy and safety endpoints, including weight loss and tolerability during the 13-week study.
