Operational Updates

Elevai Biosciences

• Preclinical Advancements for EL-22 in Obesity Treatment: Elevai Biosciences engaged KCRN Research, Inc., a renowned contract research organization, to support regulatory submissions for EL-22—a novel myostatin-targeting treatment for obesity. EL-22 aims to mitigate muscle loss, a common side effect of GLP-1 medications, by preserving muscle mass while reducing fat mass. This approach leverages EL-22’s novel myostatin pathway blockage, promising an innovative and complementary solution for the weight-loss market.
• Preclinical Data for EL-32: Additional studies validated EL-32, a myostatin/activin-A blocker, which has shown promise in improving grip strength, body composition, and motor function, further positioning Elevai to address muscle preservation needs in obesity. Based on the preclinical data from our licensing partner, Elevai believes that EL-32 has the potential to treat obesity in combination with GLP-1 by preserving muscle mass while decreasing fat mass. The Company intends to conduct additional animal studies to advance EL-32 towards an Investigational New Drug (IND) application. Full preclinical data is expected to be shared at a future scientific conference.
• Patent Filings for EL-22: Elevai Biosciences expanded its patent portfolio with filings for EL-22 as a myostatin-targeting treatment in obesity, reinforcing Elevai’s leadership in clinical innovation for muscle preservation in weight management.
