About Vivani
Vivani Medical is an emerging biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of miniature, long-term, subdermal, drug implants with its proprietary NanoPortal™ technology.
Vivani’s lead candidate is NPM-119, a six-month GLP-1 receptor agonist implant candidate being developed to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. NPM-119 is designed to optimize GLP-1 therapy by addressing two main challenges in achieving the full potential benefits of this therapy, medication non-adherence and tolerability.
Vivani plans to begin LIBERATE-1, a Phase 2 study assessing NPM-119’s safety and pharmacokinetic profile in type 2 diabetes patients, in 2023. In addition to an active control arm with Bydureon BCise, LIBERATE-1 will also evaluate NPM-119’s effect on both glycemic control and weight.
NanoPortal™ has broad potential application across a range of molecule types including peptide therapeutics. Vivani's current portfolio includes unpartnered implant candidates and feasibility programs with large pharma partners.
