IMCIVREE’s label expansion to treat patients living with acquired HO was approved by the U.S. FDA on March 19, 2026, and a similar expansion of its marketing authorization was approved by the European Commission on April 30, 2026, making it the first approved therapy in the United States and the first approved therapy in Europe for patients with this rare disease. These approvals were supported by the positive pivotal Phase 3 TRANSCEND trial of setmelanotide in 142 patients with acquired HO. The global study met its primary endpoint, with a statistically significant -18.4% placebo-adjusted reduction in body mass index (BMI). For the primary endpoint of mean BMI change from baseline, study participants on setmelanotide therapy (n=94) achieved a -15.8% reduction compared with a +2.6% increase among patients on placebo (n=48) at 52 weeks (p<0.0001). Setmelanotide was generally well tolerated in the Phase 3 trial. The most common adverse events (affecting >20% of participants) were skin hyperpigmentation, nausea, vomiting and headache. In addition, on May 5, 2026, we announced that our Japanese New Drug Application (JNDA) for setmelanotide to treat acquired HO was accepted, validated and is now under review by Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). We anticipate PMDA's decision on the application in the second half of 2026 and, if positive, expect commercial launch by the end of 2026.
Current report
We also are advancing MC4R agonists with the intention to improve the treatment landscape for patients living with Prader‑Willi syndrome (PWS), a rare, complex genetic neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by hyperphagia, severe obesity risk, and significant metabolic, cognitive, and behavioral complications. PWS affects approximately one in 10,000 to 30,000 individuals worldwide, and approximately 20,000 patients in the United States. Based on the central role of MC4R pathway dysfunction in PWS, we believe that targeting this biology represents a compelling therapeutic approach. On December 11, 2025, we announced positive interim results from our exploratory Phase 2 trial of setmelanotide in patients with PWS. Setmelanotide demonstrated BMI and hyperphagia reductions at month 3 and month 6, as well as safety and tolerability results consistent with setmelanotide’s well-established clinical profile. In addition to this ongoing trial of setmelanotide, we have begun enrolling patients in a Phase 2 trial evaluating RM-718 in PWS.

Previous report
On April 7, 2025, we announced positive topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 TRANSCEND trial evaluating setmelanotide for the treatment of acquired hypothalamic obesity. The global trial, which we believe is the largest and longest placebo-controlled trial to evaluate a therapy for patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity, met its primary endpoint with a statistically significant and highly clinically meaningful reduction in body mass index (BMI) with setmelanotide in both adult and pediatric patients versus placebo. No new safety signals with setmelanotide were observed, in line with setmelanotide’s well-established and well-understood safety profile. We completed applications to seek regulatory approval for setmelanotide as a treatment for acquired hypothalamic obesity in the United States and Europe in the third quarter of 2025.
Previous report
On August 20, 2025, we announced that the U.S. FDA accepted for filing our supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for setmelanotide seeking approval for the treatment of conditions associated with hypothalamic obesity. The FDA granted Priority Review of the sNDA and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of December 20, 2025. Additionally, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) confirmed validation or the Type II variation submissions to the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for setmelanotide. The application review began on August 16, 2025, by the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), which will issue an opinion to the European Commission (EC) regarding potential approval. We also anticipate reading out data from a 12-patient cohort in Japan in the first quarter of 2026 which we believe, if successful, could support registration of setmelanotide in Japan for this disease. With these planned submissions, we believe setmelanotide has the potential to become the first-ever approved therapy for patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity. We estimate there are approximately 10,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in the U.S., 5,000 to 8,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in Japan, and approximately 10,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in the E.U.
Previous report
On November 4, 2025, we announced net product revenue from global sales of IMCIVREE® (setmelanotide) of $51.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of 6% percent on a sequential basis from the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by sales of IMCIVREE for the treatment of patients with BBS. In the third quarter of 2025, revenue of $38.2 million, or 74% of product revenue, was generated in the United States, an increase of 19% on a sequential basis. Revenue of $13.1 million, or 26% of product revenue, was generated outside the United States, a sequential decrease of $3.4 million or 21%. The decrease in ex-U.S. revenue was primarily due to an agreement reached with the French Economic Committee for Health Products (CEPS) on final reimbursement pricing for IMCIVREE for BBS and POMC and LEPR deficiencies. This resulted in a change to the Company’s price estimate associated with the paid, early-access program that began in 2022, reducing product revenue by approximately $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, of which approximately $1.7 million related to periods prior to 2025. Ex-U.S. revenue also was affected modestly by European seasonality and variability in ordering patterns from named patient sales in certain countries.

To date, we have generated approximately $365.1 million in product revenue. Our lead product candidate, IMCIVREE, was approved by the FDA in November 2020 for chronic weight management in adult and pediatric patients six years of age and older with obesity due to POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiency confirmed by genetic testing. IMCIVREE became commercially available in the United States in the first quarter of 2021. We recorded our first sales of IMCIVREE in the United States in March 2021 and we made our first sales in the EU in March 2022 under a paid early access program. IMCIVREE was approved by the FDA and the EC in adult and pediatric patients six years of age and older with obesity due to BBS in June and September 2022, respectively. In 2024, IMCIVREE was approved by the FDA to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with syndromic or monogenic obesity due to BBS or POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR deficiency as determined by an FDA-approved test demonstrating variants inPOMC, PCSK1, orLEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance (VUS). Also in 2024, the EC and MHRA authorized IMCIVREE for the treatment of obesity and the control of hunger associated with genetically confirmed BBS or loss-of-function biallelic POMC, including PCSK1, deficiency or biallelic LEPR deficiency in adults and children 2 years of age and above. We expect our sales of IMCIVREE will continue to grow as we identify and treat more patients with this disease and obtain reimbursement throughout the international markets in which we operate, however, we cannot estimate or predict with certainty the rates at which sales in any of our markets will grow and whether such sales will grow at a higher or lower pace as compared to sales in the United States.
Current wording
IMCIVREE is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reduce excess body weight and maintain weight reduction long term in adult and pediatric patients aged 4 years and older with acquired HO and in adult and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with syndromic or monogenic obesity due to BBS or pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1), or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency as determined by genetic testing demonstrating variants in POMC, PCSK1, or LEPR genes that are interpreted as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or of uncertain significance (VUS). The European Commission (EC) has authorized IMCIVREE for the treatment of obesity and the control of hungerin adults and children 4 years of age and above with acquired hypothalamic obesity (aHO) due to hypothalamic injury or impairment, andfor the treatment of obesity and the control of hunger associated with genetically confirmed BBS or loss-of-function biallelic POMC, including PCSK1, deficiency or biallelic LEPR deficiency in adults and children 2 years of age and above. The United Kingdom’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has authorized IMCIVREE for the treatment of obesity and the control of hunger associated with genetically confirmed BBS or loss-of-function biallelic POMC, including PCSK1, deficiency or biallelic LEPR deficiency in adults and children 2 years of age and above. In addition to the United States, we have achieved market access or named patient sales of IMCIVREE for BBS or POMC and LEPR deficiencies, or both, in more than 25 countries outside the United States, and we continue to collaborate with authorities to achieve access in additional markets.
Previous wording
Acquired hypothalamic obesity is a rare form of obesity that occurs following damage to the hypothalamic region of the brain. This disease most frequently follows the growth or surgical removal of craniopharyngioma, astrocytoma or other rare brain tumors. Additional causes of injury may include traumatic brain injury, stroke, or inflammation due to infection. Patients experience accelerated weight gain, a reduction in energy expenditure, and hyperphagia (a chronic pathological condition characterized by insatiable hunger, impaired satiety, and persistent abnormal food-seeking behaviors) leading to severe obesity within six to 12 months following tumor resection or other injury.

We estimate there are approximately 10,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in the U.S., 5,000 to 8,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in Japan, and approximately 10,000 people living with hypothalamic obesity in the E.U.

In addition to our commercial efforts and inclusive of late-stage development efforts, we are advancing what we believe is the most comprehensive clinical research and development program ever initiated in MC4R pathway diseases, with multiple ongoing and planned clinical trials. Our MC4R pathway program is designed to expand the total number of patients who we believe would benefit from setmelanotide therapy or from one of our new drug candidates, RM-718, which is designed to be a more selective MC4R agonist with weekly administration, or bivamelagon, an investigational oral small molecule MC4R agonist in Phase 2 clinical trials. As mentioned above, our Phase 3 trial of setmelanotide in patients with acquired hypothalamic obesity met the primary and key secondary endpoints, and we have initiated an additional, independent substudy in patients with congenital hypothalamic obesity as part of that trial.

We continue to leverage what we believe is the largest known DNA database focused on obesity - with approximately 120,000 sequencing samples as of December 31, 2025 - to improve the understanding, diagnosis and care of people living with severe obesity due to certain variants in genes associated with the MC4R pathway. Our Phase 3 EMANATE trial did not achieve the primary endpoint in each of its four independent substudies evaluating setmelanotide in genetically caused MC4R pathway diseases, but we did see positive signals in two genetic indications. We continue to analyze the EMANATE results and evaluate potential clinical development paths to develop one of our product candidates in patients with SRC1 (NCOA1) deficiency and POMC insufficiency, including with our next-generation MC4R agonists bivamelagon or RM-718. In addition, we plan to continue to evaluate the potential for MC4R agonism in the genes and gene families previously identified through the exploratory Phase 2 DAYBREAK trial, including the SEMA3 family, PHIP, TBX3 or PLXNA family.

Our sequencing-based epidemiology estimates show that each of these genetically-defined MC4R pathway deficiencies are considered rare diseases, according to established definitions based on patient populations. Our epidemiology estimates are approximately 4,600 to 7,500 for U.S. patients in initial FDA-approved indications, including obesity due to biallelic POMC, PCSK1 or LEPR deficiencies, and BBS. Our epidemiology estimates for the two more prevalent indications being studied in our Phase 3 EMANATE trial (SH2B1 and POMC/PCSK1) suggest that approximately 29,000 U.S. patients with one of these genetically driven obesities have the potential to respond well to setmelanotide. Similarly, our epidemiology estimates for patients with genetic indications who demonstrated an initial response following stage 1 of our Phase 2 DAYBREAK trial is approximately 65,300. We believe that all these patients face similar challenges as other patients with rare diseases, namely lack of awareness, resources, tests, tools and, especially, therapeutic options.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased by $5.1 million to $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 from $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of 53%, which was driven by an increase in sales volume and net product revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Cost of sales is composed of royalty expense due to Ipsen on our net product revenue; amortization of our capitalized sales-based milestone payment made to Ipsen, upon our first commercial sale in the United States and European Union, the cost of product, as well as costs associated with our patient assistance programs. Specifically, the $5.1 million increase in cost of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from the same period in 2024 was due to $2.5 million of additional royalties due to our growth in sales and $2.6 million attributed to increased product costs associated with higher sales volume. We expect cost of sales as a percentage of revenue to continue to be in a range of 10% to 12% in the foreseeable future.
