BioAge halts obesity drug trial after liver enzyme issues; stock plummets.

BioAge Labs has halted its Phase 2 trial for the obesity drug azelaprag after some participants showed elevated liver enzymes. The drug was being tested alone and with Eli Lilly’s tirzepatide. No issues were reported in the tirzepatide-only group. BioAge will share updated plans for azelaprag in early 2025. The company’s stock dropped over 60% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
