Viking Therapeutics, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, specializing in the creation of novel treatments for metabolic and endocrine conditions. The company's leading investigational drug, VK2809, is an orally administered, tissue and receptor-selective agonist of the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRß). This compound is currently progressing through Phase IIb clinical trials, targeting both non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in biopsy-confirmed patients and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Viking's pipeline also features VK5211, an oral, non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator undergoing Phase II studies for individuals recuperating from non-elective hip fracture surgery. Additionally, VK0612, an oral drug candidate for type 2 diabetes, is poised to enter Phase IIb trials. The firm is also developing VK0214, another orally active, tissue and receptor-selective TRß agonist, specifically aimed at X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. Founded in 2012, Viking Therapeutics is headquartered in San Diego, California.
