Current report
The increase in research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, was primarily due to increased expenses related to clinical studies of $170.7 million, salaries and benefits of $2.9 million, third-party consultants of $2.2 million, and stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, partially offset by decreased expenses related to manufacturing of our drug candidates of $8.5 million and preclinical studies of $3.7 million.

Previous wording
The Phase 2 VENTURE study was a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and weight loss efficacy of VK2735, administered subcutaneously, once weekly. The 13-week study enrolled adults who were obese (BMI >= 30 kg/m2) or adults who were overweight (BMI >= 27kg/m2) with at least one weight-related co-morbidity condition. The primary endpoint of the study was the percent change in body weight from baseline to week 13, with secondary and exploratory endpoints evaluating a range of additional safety and efficacy measures. In October 2023, we announced completion of patient enrollment in the Phase 2 VENTURE study and on February 27, 2024, we announced that patients receiving weekly doses of VK2735 demonstrated statistically significant reductions in mean body weight after 13 weeks, ranging up to 14.7% from baseline. Patients receiving VK2735 also demonstrated statistically significant reductions in mean body weight relative to placebo, ranging up to 13.1%.

Under the terms of the Manufacturing Agreements, we have secured dedicated capacity for the annual manufacture and supply of multiple metric tons of VK2735 API. In addition, CordenPharma will provide fill/finish capacity for both the injectable and oral formulations of VK2735. This includes dedicated manufacturing lines and an annual commitment to supply 100 million autoinjectors and an additional 100 million vial and syringe products for the subcutaneous formulation, as well as an annual capacity of over one billion oral VK2735 tablets. These API and final finished product capacities are further expandable at Viking’s option. In exchange for dedicated API and fill/finish capacity, we will make prepayments to CordenPharma, to be paid over the period from 2026 to 2028. These prepayments will be fully credited against future orders.

In 2024, we announced a new, internally developed Dual Amylin and Calcitonin Receptor Agonist, or DACRA, program for the treatment of obesity and highlighted the effects of treatment on body weight, food intake and metabolic profile in both healthy rats and in diet-induced obese mice. The results demonstrated that our DACRAs reduced food intake in lean rats in the period from 0 – 72 hours following a single subcutaneous dose. In April 2026, we announced that we filed an IND application for our Novel Amylin Agonist VK3019. We plan to initiate a Phase 1 Trial evaluating VK3019 in the second quarter of 2026.

Other programs include VK5211, an orally available, non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator. In November 2017, we announced positive top-line results from a Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial in 108 patients recovering from non-elective hip fracture surgery. Top-line data showed that the trial achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant, dose dependent increases in lean body mass, less head, following treatment with VK5211 as compared to placebo. The study also achieved certain secondary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant increases in appendicular lean body mass and total lean body mass for all doses of VK5211, compared to placebo. VK5211 demonstrated encouraging safety and tolerability in this study, with no drug-related serious adverse events reported. Our intent is to continue to pursue partnering or licensing opportunities for VK5211 prior to conducting additional clinical studies.

The process of conducting the necessary clinical research to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming and the successful development of our drug candidates is highly uncertain. Our future research and development expenses will depend on the clinical success of each of our drug candidates, as well as ongoing assessments of the commercial potential of such drug candidates. In addition, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which drug candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans and capital requirements. We expect to incur increased research and development expenses in the future as we continue our efforts towards advancing our VK2735 subcutaneous, VK2735 oral, VK2809 and VK0214 programs and seek to advance our additional programs.
