Arrowhead's RNAi drugs ARO-INHBE and ARO-ALK7 showed strong early weight loss and fat reduction in obese patients when combined with tirzepatide, with no serious safety issues.
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals reported promising early results from Phase 1/2a trials of two RNAi therapies, ARO-INHBE and ARO-ALK7, for treating obesity.
When combined with tirzepatide, ARO-INHBE led to nearly double the weight loss and tripled reductions in visceral, total, and liver fat compared to tirzepatide alone, with up to 9.4% weight loss and 77% liver fat reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes.
ARO-INHBE also significantly lowered Activin E levels and increased lean tissue.
ARO-ALK7 showed dose-dependent gene silencing and a 14.1% reduction in visceral fat.
Both therapies were well-tolerated with no serious safety concerns.
Results are preliminary, and additional data are expected in 2026.
