Veru Inc. reported a significant decrease in net loss and operating loss for the fiscal third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year, driven by reduced research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The company also announced positive clinical trial results for enobosarm, its lead drug candidate for chronic weight loss management.
Net loss from continuing operations decreased to $7.3 million, or $0.50 per share, in Q3 2025, down from $10.3 million, or $0.71 per share, in Q3 2024.
Operating loss from continuing operations decreased to $7.5 million in Q3 2025 from $10.5 million in Q3 2024.
Research and development expenses decreased to $3.0 million in Q3 2025 from $4.8 million in Q3 2024.
The company reported positive efficacy and safety data from its Phase 2b QUALITY and Maintenance Extension studies for enobosarm, showing muscle preservation, greater fat loss, and reduced weight regain.
Veru anticipates FDA feedback to clarify the regulatory pathway for enobosarm to preserve lean mass during chronic weight loss management and plans to make a novel modified release oral enobosarm formulation available for further clinical studies and commercialization.
