Pemvidutide: Research & Evidence

Emerging Evidence

Published research, clinical trial data, and evidence grading for Pemvidutide across studied indications.

Back to Pemvidutide overview

Research Summary

Pemvidutide has approximately 3-5 RCTs completed or ongoing across obesity, MASH, and alcohol use disorder indications. The Phase 2b IMPACT trial achieved its primary endpoint with 59.1% MASH resolution without fibrosis worsening at 24 weeks (PMC12529369). The Phase 2 MOMENTUM trial demonstrated meaningful weight loss at 48 weeks. Altimmune has expanded into AUD (RECLAIM trial) and ALD (RESTORE trial) — innovative applications of GLP-1/glucagon dual agonism. FDA Fast Track designation was granted for MASH. As of March 2026, pemvidutide remains investigational with no FDA approval, and Phase 3 trials are planned pending 48-week IMPACT data.
