Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 23, 2025, Fractyl Health, Inc. (the “Company”) issued the press releases furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report (including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly provided by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 23, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing positive 3-month data from the open-label REVEAL-1 cohort of its ongoing REMAIN-1 pivotal study. To date, 22 participants have been treated in the REVEAL-1 Cohort, with 3-month follow-up data available for 13 individuals. At 3 months, 12 of 13 participants either lost or maintained their weight after GLP-1 discontinuation and a single Revita procedure. Notably, 6 of 13 experienced further weight loss. Median weight remained stable through 3 months, compared to the typical 5-6% rebound seen in clinical studies such as SURMOUNT-4. Only one participant experienced weight regain similar to that seen after tirzepatide withdrawal. Early signs also point to excellent weight stability following Revita procedure, with essentially no weight change between 1 and 3 months. Consistent with prior studies of Revita, the procedure was well tolerated, with no unanticipated or serious adverse effects. No new safety concerns were observed. The Company also announced that REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort data expected in the third quarter of 2025 and 6-month primary endpoint data from the REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort expected in the second half of 2026.
On June 23, 2025, the Company also issued a press release announcing new preclinical data from its Rejuva® Smart GLP-1™ pancreatic gene therapy platform, presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 85th Scientific Sessions. The data demonstrated that a single dose of Rejuva was well tolerated in healthy animals and prevented obesity and hyperglycemia in animals exposed to a high-fat diet. The Company also announced that these findings support continued advancement of RJVA-001, Rejuva’s first clinical candidate, toward first-in-human studies. Preliminary clinical data from RJVA-001 are anticipated in 2026.
