•Translational data presented at ADA demonstrate icovamenib’s potential to promote muscle preservation and fat reduction, supporting its broader therapeutic utility in obesity and diabetes, including as a complementary therapy alongside GLP-1 receptor agonists to enhance metabolic health outcomes 
• Clinical data presented at ADA from COVALENT-112 show improvements in HbA1c and C-peptide in type 1 diabetes patients treated with icovamenib, with no evidence of immune activation, and inflammatory markers stable or reduced
• Additionally, the Company expanded its Phase I BMF-650 study to evaluate a rapid one-step titration and enhanced weight loss potential with its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist

STAMFORD, Conn., June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oban BioPharma today announced that preclinical data for OBT-676, a lead small-molecule candidate for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, has been selected for a late-breaking presentation at the upcoming American Diabetes Association (ADA) 86th Scientific Sessions being held from June 5^th-8^th in New Orleans, LA. The study characterizes OBT-676 as a new molecular entity that achieves potent full agonism at the amylin and calcitonin receptors (DACRA) while simultaneously delivering partial agonism across the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon (Triple-G) pathways. OBT-676 demonstrated significant reduction in food intake and adipose-selective weight loss in the industry-standard rat diet-induced obesity (DIO) model.
