"We believe Revita has the potential to offer a transformational new approach to durable weight maintenance and a clinically needed off ramp from GLP-1 therapy. Our first quarter results reflect continued execution across every dimension of our business toward that goal," said Harith Rajagopalan, co-founder and CEO of Fractyl. "Topline 6-month randomized data from the REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort remains on track for early Q4 2026. This registrational study is prospectively designed and statistically powered to demonstrate Revita's potential effect across the full cohort, with enrichment in participants with higher run-in weight loss and longer ablation length. Ahead of that readout, we expect to report 1-year REVEAL-1 Cohort data in Q2 2026 and 1-year REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort randomized data in Q3 2026. Fractyl stands alone in developing the first potential procedural option for post-GLP-1 weight maintenance, and with cash runway into early 2027, we are funded beyond the anticipated pivotal data readout."

Fractyl Health announced completion of participant randomization in its REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort, a double-blind, sham-controlled study evaluating Revita for weight maintenance following GLP-1 therapy discontinuation. "Completion of randomization in the REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort marks an important milestone as we advance Revita toward the definitive clinical evidence we believe will clearly establish its role in post-GLP-1 weight maintenance," said Harith Rajagopalan, M.D., Ph.D., Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Fractyl Health. "This study was prospectively designed and statistically powered to demonstrate Revita's effect. The clinical insights from our REVEAL-1 and REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohorts, as well as ongoing follow-up from our Germany Real-World Registry study, informed both the study design and our confidence in this program. With randomization now complete and our balance sheet positioned to support us through and beyond the pivotal readout, our focus is on disciplined execution as we prepare to report topline 6-month results in early Q4 2026. We are grateful to the participants, investigators, and clinical site teams whose commitment has made this progress possible."
