Briefing

Reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

89bio reported a net loss of $48.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to increased R&D expenses to advance the company’s Phase 3 clinical trials, increased G&A expenses associated with higher headcount, and expenses to support the Company’s expanded operations.

  • Initiated two pivotal Phase 3 trials addressing non-cirrhotic MASH and MASH with compensated cirrhosis.
  • Continued to take important steps forward that will strategically enhance preparedness for potential commercialization of pegozafermin including commercial manufacturing readiness.
  • Enrollment is ongoing in ENTRUST, the Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of pegozafermin in patients with SHTG.
  • Dr. Charles McWherter joined the Board of Directors, effective July 30, 2024.
