BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fractyl Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GUTS) (the Company or Fractyl), a clinical stage metabolic therapeutics company focused on pioneering novel approaches to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), today announced that it will host a virtual Commercial Strategy Day on Tuesday, September 1, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET to discuss the potential commercial opportunity and go-to-market strategy for Revita®. To register, click here.
The event follows the Company’s positive one-year randomized data from the REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort, which showed weight maintenance one year after a single Revita procedure. The treatment effect was greatest in a pre-specified optimized population, combining complete duodenal ablation (>14 cm) with higher GLP-1-induced run-in weight loss (≥17.5%), where Revita-treated participants maintained approximately 84% of their GLP-1-induced weight loss compared to 46% in sham participants (least squares mean weight regain of 4.1% versus 13.5% of body weight; n=10 versus 8 for Revita versus sham).
An estimated 30 million U.S. adults are currently on GLP-1 therapy and Revita is designed to be their one-time procedural off-ramp when they stop. Ahead of the anticipated early Q4 2026 six-month topline readout of the REMAIN-1 Pivotal Cohort, Fractyl’s management team will discuss the potential market opportunity for Revita, its plans for bringing the therapy to patients and providers if it receives FDA marketing authorization, the reimbursement path ahead, and the Company’s potential FDA De Novo marketing application submission anticipated in late Q4 2026. Together, these milestones mark Fractyl’s transition from late stage clinical development toward commercial readiness.
A live Q&A session will follow the formal presentations. A live webcast of the event can be accessed in the “Events” section of Fractyl Health’s website at http://ir.fractyl.com. The webcast will be archived and available for replay for 90 days following the live event.
