Accordingly, the Company believes that treating internal disputes or disagreements among certain shareholders as grounds to negate transaction arrangements already undertaken by the Company with registered shareholders lacks a factual basis and may mislead the market and the public. The Company will not disregard the objective facts created by duly executed transaction documents and the actual identity of shareholders based on unilateral statements made by individual members of management or other persons through media, social media, or third-party channels.

IV. The Company Will Continue to Advance Relevant Approvals, Closing Procedures, and Subsequent Integration Efforts in a Lawful and Compliant Manner

The Company reminds investors that the HyalRoute transaction is currently still in the process of advancing through the relevant closing conditions, regulatory approvals, and procedural arrangements contemplated by the transaction agreements. The transaction can become effective and close only after the agreed conditions and applicable regulatory approvals have been satisfied.

The Company will continue to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and listing rules, and will timely fulfill its disclosure obligations with respect to approval progress, closing progress, and other material developments relating to the transaction.

The Company also welcomes other shareholders of HyalRoute, as well as other relevant creditors and debt counterparties, to participate in and support this package equity acquisition arrangement on the same acquisition terms as those set forth in the existing executed transactions. After approximately three years of negotiations, the Company has advanced the relevant equity transactions on the basis of the current transaction terms, including a price of US$10.00 per share and an implied overall valuation of US$4.0 billion for HyalRoute. The Company welcomes all relevant parties and management to maintain rational and constructive communication with the Company, so as to jointly promote the steady advancement of the relevant matters on a lawful, compliant basis and with full respect for shareholder rights.

V. The Company Reserves the Right to Pursue Legal Remedies With Respect to False Statements

With respect to any false statements disseminated through media, social media, or other public channels that are materially inconsistent with the facts and may mislead the market, damage the Company's reputation, or harm investor interests, the Company reserves the right to take all necessary legal measures, including, without limitation, requiring cessation of infringing conduct, demanding clarification of the facts, and pursuing liability in accordance with law.

The Company further reminds all parties that information disclosures by a listed company should be based on the Company's formal announcements, lawfully disclosed filings, and regulatory filings. Investors are advised to carefully assess the source of information, exercise rational judgment, and be mindful of investment risks.***

The second edition of the popular topiary showcase introduces an interactive area starring Disney's Frozen, and more beloved Disney and Pixar character dioramas including Toy Story 5 and Disney Princess

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 June 2026 - Disney magic blooms anew at Singapore's premier horticultural destination Gardens by the Bay as the second edition of Disney Garden of Wonder, opens today. Featuring 23 vibrant topiaries inspired by beloved Disney and Pixar characters, the enchanting showcase transforms Floral Fantasy into a world of floral artistry and imagination through 14 March 2027.

Organised in collaboration with Disney and supported by the Singapore Tourism Board, Disney Garden of Wonder is inspired by Disney and Pixar stories that have charmed generations of fans around the world, inviting people of all ages to re-discover their favourite stories of courage, kindness, friendship and love through the beauty of plants. Following the success of its debut at Gardens by the Bay in 2024, the enthralling floral showcase returns in an even more special second edition.

Visitors can look forward to five themed areas:

Frozen, in which topiary versions of Anna, Elsa and Olaf preside over an enchanting snowy landscape, brought to life through themed lighting that imagines a frost-kissed world of wonder. Inspired by Elsa's Ice Palace, visitors can step on a floor where magical snowflakes dance and respond to movement.

Disney princesses, where Rapunzel appears alongside her best friend Pascal the chameleon; Belle is with the Beast and their enchanted companions; and Jasmine is accompanied by her loyal tiger Rajah.

Hundred Acre Wood, where Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet and Tigger gather in a cheerful party scene. Tigger bounces up and down while Piglet twirls, and visitors can picture themselves joining everyone at the table!

Toy Story 5, where Woody, Jessie and Buzz Lightyear appear as topiaries in a playful setting inspired by Bonnie's Room, alongside displays of new characters Lilypad and Smarty Pants.

Go Local, a Singaporean-themed zone where Disney characters are reimagined in familiar local settings. Chip 'n Dale perch atop a giant ice cream sandwich; Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck share the spicy rice noodle dish laksa; and Mickey Mouse makes the traditional beverage teh tarik with Donald Duck.

Outside Floral Fantasy, a 4m-tall Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey marks the entrance and welcomes visitors to Gardens by the Bay.

The hand-assembled topiaries are crafted from more than 40 species of preserved and dried floral materials, which took more than 16,000 man hours.

Each material was selected for its colour, texture and form, helping to reflect each character's features. Plenty of flowers are used for the Disney princesses for example, while Rapunzel's hair is crafted from Stipa, a perennial grass that has fluffy or oat-like flowerheads.

The surrounding landscapes also use plant palettes that reflect the mood of each zone ? sunflowers and marigolds reflect the honey-toned meadow setting of Winnie the Pooh, while lilies and roses bring out the romantic and jewel-toned settings of Disney Princess stories. Hydrangeas and dusty miller evoke the icy blues, whites and silvers of Frozen.

Throughout the duration of Garden of Wonder, visitors can enjoy select weekend Meet and Greet sessions with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in outfits inspired by Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim. Donald Duck and Daisy Duck will also join the experience on select weekends, dressed for a sunny getaway on our tropical island. Meet and Greet dates are available at www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/disneygardenofwonder.

Visitors can round off their experience with shopping at the gift shop, which carries items launching exclusively at Disney Garden of Wonder.

New analysis from the IMPACT-TD Registry demonstrates that treatment with AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR led to reductions in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) scores in all participants, which were associated with improved activities of daily living.

Further data from the 3-year RIM-TD study reinforces the importance of sustained treatment, showing >50% of patients achieve a clinically meaningful response to AUSTEDO by week 15, with additional patients achieving response with continued treatment.

The comprehensive data package presented at Psych Congress Elevate advances clinical understanding of TD from diagnosis to long-term management, underscoring Teva's commitment to improving outcomes for the full spectrum of individuals living with TD.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. and TEL AVIV, Israel, June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced new data that highlight the comprehensive tardive dyskinesia (TD) symptom improvement from treatment with AUSTEDO and AUSTEDO XR. The new findings, drawn from three separate studies, were presented at Psych Congress Elevate, held June 3 - 6, 2026, in Las Vegas, NV.

"The data presented at Psych Congress Elevate represent Teva's pursuit to better understanding the full human experience of tardive dyskinesia," said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. "We are dedicated to not only advancing science but also striving to close critical gaps in diagnosis and clinical management of tardive dyskinesia. By generating robust evidence for a broader range of patients, including those with mild TD, and providing insights that guide optimal long-term treatment strategies, we are working to deliver innovations that make a meaningful difference in the day-to-day lives of those living with this condition."

The new findings from Teva's latest research revealed:

Benefit in Mild TD (IMPACT-TD): New real-world insights from the IMPACT-TD Registry, the largest real-world study of TD,1 evaluated patients with mild symptoms who were starting AUSTEDO or AUSTEDO XR treatment. At three months, all participants showed reductions in their Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) score while maintaining their psychiatric stability; and participants with a clinically meaningful baseline burden in areas such as activities of daily living, psychosocial functioning, speech and communication reported improvement in these domains due to the reduction of TD movements.

Value of Sustained Treatment (RIM-TD): An analysis from the 3-year RIM-TD open-label study found that an increasing percentage of patients responded to treatment over the course of the study. While >50% showed AIMS improvement within 15 weeks, an additional 23% saw improvement after week 15. This underscores the possibility of increasing improvement when patients stay on treatment.

Closing the Diagnosis Gap: A study focused on caregiver education found that providing TD-specific educational content developed in collaboration with patient advocacy groups via online platforms prompted crucial conversations with healthcare professionals. Within six months, 53% of care recipients at risk of TD discussed TD with a provider, and 34% received a TD diagnosis, highlighting an effective strategy to improve disease recognition.

"These findings are significant because they add to the real-world evidence supporting treatment benefit for patients with mild tardive dyskinesia," said Richard Jackson, MD, Assistant Clinical Adjunct Professor at the University of Michigan School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry and IMPACT-TD principal investigator. "In clinical practice, we know that even so-called 'mild' involuntary movements can have a profound, multidimensional impact on a person's quality of life. These data give clinicians greater confidence to identify and treat TD early, offering the potential to improve outcomes for patients who might have previously been overlooked."

Teva remains deeply committed to advancing the science of tardive dyskinesia and supporting the full needs of the TD community.

About Tardive Dyskinesia (TD)

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a highly debilitating, chronic movement disorder that affects one in four people who take certain mental health treatments and is characterized by uncontrollable, abnormal, and repetitive movements of the face, torso, and/or other body parts, which may be disruptive and negatively impact individuals.2,3,4

About AUSTEDO XR Extended-Release Tablets and AUSTEDO Tablets

AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are the first vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in adults for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. AUSTEDO XR is the once-daily formulation of AUSTEDO.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

AUSTEDO XR (deutetrabenazine) extended-release tablets and AUSTEDO (deutetrabenazine) tablets are indicated in adults for the treatment of chorea associated with Huntington's disease and for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 

Depression and Suicidality in Patients with Huntington's Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO can increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior (suicidality) in patients with Huntington's disease. Balance the risks of depression and suicidality with the clinical need for treatment of chorea. Closely monitor patients for the emergence or worsening of depression, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Inform patients, their caregivers, and families of the risk of depression and suicidality and instruct them to report behaviors of concern promptly to the treating physician. Exercise caution when treating patients with a history of depression or prior suicide attempts or ideation. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients who are suicidal, and in patients with untreated or inadequately treated depression. 

Contraindications: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are contraindicated in patients with Huntington's disease who are suicidal, or have untreated or inadequately treated depression. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO are also contraindicated in: patients with hepatic impairment; patients taking reserpine or within 20 days of discontinuing reserpine; patients taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), or within 14 days of discontinuing MAOI therapy; and patients taking tetrabenazine or valbenazine.   

Clinical Worsening and Adverse Events in Patients with Huntington's Disease: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause a worsening in mood, cognition, rigidity, and functional capacity. Prescribers should periodically re-evaluate the need for AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO in their patients by assessing the effect on chorea and possible adverse effects. 

QTc Prolongation: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may prolong the QT interval, but the degree of QT prolongation is not clinically significant when AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO is administered within the recommended dosage range. AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO should be avoided in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias.  

Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex reported in association with drugs that reduce dopaminergic transmission, has been observed in patients receiving tetrabenazine. The risk may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. The management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO; intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems.   

Akathisia, Agitation, and Restlessness: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may increase the risk of akathisia, agitation, and restlessness. The risk of akathisia may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops akathisia, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy. 

Parkinsonism: AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO may cause parkinsonism in patients with Huntington's disease or tardive dyskinesia. Parkinsonism has also been observed with other VMAT2 inhibitors. The risk of parkinsonism may be increased by concomitant use of dopamine antagonists or antipsychotics. If a patient develops parkinsonism, the AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO dose should be reduced; some patients may require discontinuation of therapy. 

Sedation and Somnolence: Sedation is a common dose-limiting adverse reaction of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO. Patients should not perform activities requiring mental alertness, such as operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery, until they are on a maintenance dose of AUSTEDO XR or AUSTEDO and know how the drug affects them. Concomitant use of alcohol or other sedating drugs may have additive effects and worsen sedation and somnolence. 

Hyperprolactinemia: Tetrabenazine elevates serum prolactin concentrations in humans. If there is a clinical suspicion of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia, appropriate laboratory testing should be done and consideration should be given to discontinuation of AUSTEDO XR and AUSTEDO.   

Binding to Melanin-Containing Tissues: Deutetrabenazine or its metabolites bind to melanin-containing tissues and could accumulate in these tissues over time. Prescribers should be aware of the possibility of long-term ophthalmologic effects. 

Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (>8% and greater than placebo) in a controlled clinical study in patients with Huntington's disease were somnolence, diarrhea, dry mouth, and fatigue. The most common adverse reactions for AUSTEDO (4% and greater than placebo) in controlled clinical studies in patients with tardive dyskinesia were nasopharyngitis and insomnia.  Adverse reactions with AUSTEDO XR extended-release tablets are expected to be similar to AUSTEDO tablets. 

Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning.

Kabuni Premier League (KPL) - a new competition format designed for the next generation of athletes

The event included an unforgettable live demonstration featuring cricket icons Sourav Ganguly, AB de Villiers, Shane Watson and India T20 Captain Shreyas Iyer, competing alongside grassroots cricketers from Mumbai, demonstrating how technology can help bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity.

Richard Diaz, CEO of Black Castle Capital Partners, commented:

"The energy in the room was extraordinary. Seeing cricket legends sharing the stage with grassroots players, educators discussing the future of learning, and young athletes interacting with technology that simply did not exist a few years ago was genuinely remarkable.

I left Mumbai more convinced than ever that Kabuni Sports has the potential to become one of the most important sports technology companies to emerge from the UK in the coming decade. For everyone fortunate enough to be in that room, it felt like the beginning of something very special."

A New Chapter for Grassroots Sport

For decades, access to elite coaching, meaningful performance data and structured development pathways has largely been reserved for professional athletes.

Kabuni believes that should change.

The company has spent the last year building an entirely new category at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sports technology, gaming and education.

Its proprietary PlayOS platform combines computer vision, biomechanics, motion tracking, performance analytics and AI coaching to provide young athletes with real-time feedback and personalised development insights.

The result is a platform designed not simply to coach athletes, but to unlock human potential at scale.

The Future of Sport is Play

At the heart of the showcase was Kabuni's central belief:

The battle for attention created screen time.

The opportunity ahead is playtime.

Rather than competing with technology, Kabuni is harnessing it to inspire movement, participation and real-world activity.

Its K10 format transforms training into competition, allowing players to improve through challenges, rankings, leagues and gameplay mechanics powered by real sporting performance.

Every shot played, every ball bowled and every training session completed contributes to a player's digital progression.

It is a model that has the potential to reshape how an entire generation engages with sport.

India Chosen as the First Global Launch Market

Kabuni selected India as the launchpad for its global ambitions for one simple reason.

No nation combines passion for cricket, youth participation and technological adoption at the scale of India.

The company believes the country represents the ideal environment to demonstrate how AI can democratise access to coaching, talent identification and sporting opportunity.

The launch follows the announcement of strategic education partnerships, including White Canvas India, as Kabuni begins building one of the largest school and grassroots sporting ecosystems in the country.

Through the Kabuni Premier League, schools, students and communities will gain access to a connected platform where coaching, competition and talent development operate as a single experience.

A Defining Moment for Kabuni Sports

Yesterday's showcase represented more than a product launch.

It marked the public unveiling of a vision that has been years in the making.

A vision where elite coaching becomes accessible.

Where technology encourages participation rather than inactivity.

Where data enhances development rather than replacing human insight.

And where every child has the opportunity to discover and fulfil their sporting potential.

What began as an ambitious idea has now emerged onto the global stage.

Nimesh Patel, Co-Founder and CEO of Kabuni, said:

"Yesterday was about demonstrating what becomes possible when sport, technology and purpose come together. We believe every child deserves access to great coaching, meaningful competition and the opportunity to realise their potential. Kabuni exists to help make that possible."

Patrick Badenoch, Co-Founder and CFO of Kabuni, added:

"PLAYTIME 2026 was the beginning of something much bigger than a product launch. It was the first step in building a global movement around participation, development and opportunity through sport. The response from athletes, schools, educators and partners has been extraordinary."

The Beginning of an Annual Global Gathering

Kabuni also confirmed that PLAYTIME will become its flagship annual event.

If Apple has WWDC and Salesforce has Dreamforce, Kabuni now has PLAYTIME.

An annual gathering dedicated to the future of grassroots sport, coaching, education, competition and technology.

The company plans to use future editions to unveil new products, partnerships, sports and innovations as its ecosystem continues to expand globally.

Beyond Cricket: Building a Global Multi-Sport Platform

While cricket provides the foundation for Kabuni's initial rollout, the company's ambitions extend far beyond a single sport.

The PlayOS architecture unveiled in Mumbai has been designed as a multi-sport operating system capable of supporting coaching, performance analysis, competition and talent development across a wide range of disciplines.

Following the successful launch of cricket, Kabuni confirmed that development is already underway for additional sports, with golf expected to be the next major sport integrated into the platform.

The company's long-term vision is to create a unified ecosystem where athletes can learn, train, compete and develop across multiple sports through a single AI-powered infrastructure.

By combining computer vision, biomechanics, performance analytics and personalised coaching, Kabuni believes the same technology principles that can transform cricket can ultimately be applied to sports around the world.

From schools and academies to grassroots clubs and aspiring athletes, the opportunity extends far beyond a single market or discipline.

What launched in Mumbai was the first chapter.

The destination is a global sports technology platform capable of supporting millions of athletes across multiple sports, countries and communities.

Nimesh Patel added:

"Cricket is where our journey begins because it provides an incredible opportunity to demonstrate the power of PlayOS at scale. But Kabuni has always been designed as a multi-sport platform. The same technology that can help a young cricketer improve their game can ultimately help athletes across many different sports. Our vision is to build the operating system for grassroots sport globally, and Mumbai was the first major step on that journey."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summary

The onsemi Elite Pairing Studio is an online design environment that simplifies pairing SiC MOSFETs and gate drivers for demanding power electronics applications, including AI data centers, electric vehicles, and industrial systems. By providing visibility into device-level behavior and pairing trade-offs, the Studio enables earlier, better-informed engineering decisions and helps reduce design iterations. The Elite Pairing Studio serves as the front door to onsemi's broader suite of design tools, enabling a seamless path to system-level evaluation of performance, efficiency, and thermal behavior.

News Highlights

onsemi's industry-first Elite Pairing Studio helps engineers by analyzing device combinations and recommending well-matched SiC MOSFET and gate driver pairings based on their system requirements

Online tool accelerates development by enabling evaluation of device-level switching behavior, losses, and trade-offs early in the design process, reducing iteration before advancing to full system-level analysis

Interactive, personalized simulation environment gives engineers visibility into timing, waveform behavior, and trade-offs behind each recommended pairing

Additional onsemi technologies will be added to the Elite Pairing Studio in the future

What's New: onsemi today announced its Elite Pairing Studio, an industry-first online design tool that enables engineers to move beyond traditional component-level selection to quickly identify recommended combinations of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and gate drivers based on their specific requirements. The interactive tool makes it easier to evaluate pairing behavior and trade-offs, helping accelerate the development of power electronics designs. It also serves as the front door to onsemi's broader simulation toolset for system-level performance and efficiency analysis.

Why it Matters: As power electronics grow more complex, engineers must carefully match gate drivers with switching devices to achieve optimal efficiency, minimize losses, and ensure safe operating temperatures. Early component selection decisions have a direct impact on these system-level outcomes, particularly as teams balance competing requirements. Traditionally, this process requires time-consuming manual evaluation and simulation via extensive datasheet comparisons, spreadsheet analysis, and empirical testing.

The onsemi Elite Pairing Studio simplifies this challenge by guiding engineers through a step-by-step process to identify the ideal combination of an onsemi gate driver and SiC MOSFET based on their requirements. Well-matched pairings can be compared quickly, helping reduce iterations and refine power architectures earlier in the development process. This reduces design risk, shortens time to market, and helps ensure systems perform as intended in real-world conditions.

How it Works: The cloud-based environment gives engineers access to a private and secure workspace on onsemi.com where they can use an intuitive workflow to explore device combinations based on their inputs. The tool evaluates a wide range of gate driver combinations with the selected SiC MOSFET, using transparent methods based on established industry equations and real-world performance calculations. The evaluation logic is clear and inspectable for users.

Through the Elite Pairing Studio, engineers can examine key figures of merit for each pairing, including:

Switching timings

Gate voltage and current (V/I) waveforms

Voltage overshoot margins relative to device ratings

Switching energy losses, such as turn-on and turn-off energy

These insights allow engineers to compare pairing trade-offs relevant to their application and gain early visibility into factors that influence electromagnetic interference behavior and reliability margins. Results are visualized through an interactive waveform viewer, enabling more informed pairing decisions before designs are advanced into full system-level simulation. Additional onsemi technologies will be added to the Elite Pairing Studio in the future.

By providing well-matched pairings of SiC MOSFETs and gate drivers tailored to application needs, the onsemi Elite Pairing Studio enables earlier design decisions with a clearer understanding of switching behavior and trade-offs. Those pairing insights can then be carried forward using Studio-generated PLECS system-level simulation models and evaluated in the onsemi Elite Power Simulator to fine-tune efficiency, thermal, and loss performance. Together, this seamless development path helps designers translate early pairing insights into improved system-level efficiency and performance for demanding applications including AI data centers, electric vehicles, industrial systems, and electrification infrastructure.

The onsemi Elite Pairing Studio is available now through the onsemi website and will be demonstrated at the onsemi booth (Hall 9-332) at PCIM Expo 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany.

*Boehringer Ingelheim's survodutide Phase III trial showed targeted 34% visceral and 63% liver fat reduction, while minimizing lean mass loss in pre-specified analysis, supporting improved metabolic health in people living with obesity

*News builds on previously announced positive topline results from SYNCHRONIZE-1 76-week trial, which met its primary endpoints and showed up to 16.6% weight loss with survodutide, a novel glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonist, from baseline.1 ​

*Detailed pre-specified analysis from a sub study of SYNCHRONIZE-1 show that, relative to baseline, survodutide achieved a reduction of up to 34% in visceral fat, with the proportion of lean mass loss reflecting no more than 10.8% of change in total tissue mass at the highest dose, alongside an up to 63.1% reduction of liver fat, indicating a targeted reduction in metabolically harmful fat after 76 weeks.2,3

*Detailed results presented from SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD, showed that the trial met both its primary endpoints, with additional results showing that, relative to baseline, liver fat normalization was reached by 6 out of 10 participants living with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obesity or overweight who were treated with survodutide after 48 weeks.4

*The SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD results were presented at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 2026 Scientific Sessions and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine and Nature Medicine, respectively.5,6

Ingelheim, Germany - Boehringer Ingelheim today announced positive results from two global Phase III trials of its glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonist survodutide (BI 456906), SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD.2,4 The results demonstrate survodutide's potential to reduce weight and therefore improve metabolic health in two distinct populations: adults living with obesity or overweight, without type 2 diabetes (SYNCHRONIZE-1),2 and adults with overweight or obesity with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) with evidence of inflammation and or fibrosis (SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD).4 Full results from SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD were presented today at the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 2026 Scientific Sessions and published simultaneously in The New England Journal of Medicine and Nature Medicine respectively.5,6

SYNCHRONIZE-1 Results

The 76-week Phase III SYNCHRONIZE-1 trial investigated survodutide in adults living with obesity or overweight, without type 2 diabetes. Positive topline data announced in April showed that the trial met its primary endpoints using both the treatment-regimen* and efficacy? estimands.1 Sustained weight loss of up to an average of 16.6% was seen using the efficacy estimand, a statistically significant decrease versus 3.2% in the placebo arm (p<0.0001).2? 

In a sub study of the trial the fat loss observed in the patients who provided MRI measurements at baseline and end of study while on treatment, showed a relative reduction of up to 34.0% visceral fat.2 Additional analysis showed that lean mass accounted for no more than 10.8% of change in total tissue mass at the highest dose, indicating that weight loss was primarily driven by reductions in fat mass.2 In the same sub study, a pre-specified analysis showed adults treated with survodutide had liver fat reduction of up to 63.1% further demonstrating survodutide's potential to positively impact metabolic health.2 

"For people living with obesity, weight loss is only one part of the story. They face an increased risk of developing serious conditions driven by obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction, including metabolic liver disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. There is an urgent need for treatments that go beyond weight loss to also address these related conditions," Dr Lee Kaplan, M.D., Ph.D., Director of The Obesity and Metabolism Institute, Boston, MA, USA, Chair of the SYNCHRONIZE program executive committee said. "I am delighted to see that these data reveal that the glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonism of survodutide offers a promising approach for people with obesity, and for those with obesity-associated metabolic liver diseases including MASLD and MASH."   

"Obesity is a complex disease linked to how the body manages metabolism. Excess visceral fat, which is found primarily around the abdomen, is a known contributor to metabolic dysfunction and is closely connected to impaired liver function," said Shashank Deshpande, Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors and Head of Human Pharma, Boehringer Ingelheim. "By tackling obesity alongside visceral fat and liver fat, survodutide has the potential to redefine what a targeted weight management therapy can achieve, as we aim to address key drivers of metabolic dysfunction often associated with obesity."

Metabolic health refers to how the body processes nutrients and maintains homeostasis.7 As a complex disease, obesity goes beyond weight, having associations with disruptions in metabolic processes.8 Up to three in every four people living with obesity have MASLD, where excess fat builds up in the liver.9 For about one in three people living with obesity, this can advance to a more serious stage called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which is characterized by inflammation and liver damage.9 

SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD results

Positive Phase III results from the SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD trial further reinforce survodutide's potential in metabolic health by demonstrating improvements in weight loss and a targeted reduction in liver fat.4 The SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD trial investigated survodutide for 48 weeks among adults with obesity or overweight who had MASLD with evidence of inflammation and or fibrosis, both with and without type 2 diabetes.4 

The trial met its co-primary endpoints using both the treatment-regimen and efficacy estimands, with results showing that up to 84.2% of participants treated with survodutide experienced at least a 30% relative liver fat reduction using the efficacy estimand, a statistically significant improvement over 24.3% in the placebo arm (p<0.0001).4 The trial met its other co-primary endpoint with a relative reduction in body weight of up to 12.2%, using the efficacy estimand versus 1.0% in the placebo arm (p<0.0001).4 Additional detailed results, from a secondary endpoint, showed up to 6 out of 10 patients (61.0%) reached liver fat normalization (liver fat content <5%) at Week 48 using the efficacy estimand, versus 5.7% in the placebo arm.4 

Positive trends were also observed across other secondary endpoints evaluating liver-related biomarkers, such as alanine transaminase (ALT) levels, signaling reduction in inflammation.4 

As expected with GLP-1 based therapies, in SYNCHRONIZE-1 the most commonly reported adverse events for survodutide were gastrointestinal (GI) events, which were mostly mild to moderate in severity and usually occurring during the dose escalation phase.2 The more frequent events included nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation compared with placebo.2 The treatment discontinuation rates due to GI adverse events were 19% in people treated with survodutide compared to 2.9% on the placebo arm.2 These results were consistent across the SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD trial and with the known class effects. No new safety signals were identified in both trials.4 Looking ahead, Boehringer is committed to helping patients and clinicians make informed decisions through more optimized, patient centered dosing guidance and protocols.

Collectively, SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD show the potential benefits of glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonism for people living with obesity and people with MASLD with evidence of inflammation and or fibrosis.2,4,10 Survodutide could address the unmet need for treatment of these conditions as its GLP‑1 agonism decreases appetite while increasing fullness and satiety,11 while its glucagon agonism is thought to directly act on the liver to reduce hepatic fat, regulate metabolic function, resolve inflammation, and improve fibrosis.12,13,14 Survodutide is an investigational agent and has not been approved for use; its efficacy and safety have not been established.

Additionally, as part of the broader evidence program, a set of Phase IIIb studies are being advanced to address key unmet needs in people living with obesity and real-world care. Initiating later this year, SYNCHRONIZE-HERA will evaluate survodutide in women's health; ELEVATE-LIVER will assess the impact of survodutide in the preservation of cardiac function and structure in people living with MASLD or early MASH; and SYNCHRONIZE-START will examine real-world titration approaches, including treatment initiation and switching from GLP-1 RAs, with a focus on tolerability. These efforts complement SYNCHRONIZE-1 and SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD within the broader global Phase III obesity program in overweight and obesity, including key sub-populations.15,16,17,18,19,20 Survodutide is also being studied in two global Phase III clinical trials LIVERAGE and LIVERAGE-Cirrhosis investigating the efficacy and safety of survodutide in adults with MASH and fibrosis stages 2 or 3 and in those with compensated MASH cirrhosis (fibrosis stage 4).21,22
