BioAge Labs to Present Preclinical Data on APJ Agonism for Diabetic Obesity and Heart Failure at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 85th Scientific Sessions

Treatment with apelin receptor agonist enhanced glycemic control and demonstrated cardioprotective effects, with additive benefits observed in combination with incretin therapy

Data support development of next-generation APJ agonists for obesity and key comorbidities

EMERYVILLE, Calif., June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BioAge Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOA) (“BioAge”, “the Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging, today announced that it will present new preclinical data supporting apelin receptor (APJ) agonism for the treatment of diabetic obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The data will be presented at the American Diabetes Association’s 85th Scientific Sessions, held June 20–23, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois.

“Our preclinical data demonstrated that APJ activation can confer multiple benefits in models of diabetic obesity and heart failure, and enhance the effects of incretin therapy,” said Kristen Fortney, PhD, CEO and co‑founder of BioAge. “We are advancing next‑generation APJ agonists to translate this promising biology into new therapies for obesity and its major comorbidities.”

APJ is the receptor for apelin, an exercise-induced signaling molecule known as an exerkine. Apelin has been shown in preclinical studies to have the potential to recapitulate many of the downstream benefits of exercise. BioAge’s discovery platform identified apelin signaling as a therapeutic target based on analysis of human aging cohorts, which revealed that higher levels of circulating apelin are predictive of improved physical function and increased longevity. BioAge has shown that in preclinical obesity models, APJ agonism can approximately double the weight loss induced by GLP-1 receptor agonists while restoring body composition and muscle function, suggesting that APJ agonists could serve as pharmacological exercise mimetics to enhance incretin therapy.

BioAge is advancing multiple APJ agonist approaches, including both oral small-molecule and long-acting injectable formulations, with an IND filing targeted for 2026 [link].

In their two presentations, BioAge CMO and EVP Research Paul Rubin, MD, and scientist Shijun Yan, PhD, MBA, will present data that demonstrated that in preclinical models of diabetic obesity and HFpEF, APJ agonist treatment had potential as monotherapy that could be enhanced in combination with incretin therapies.

  • Enhanced glycemic control in diabetic obesity — Dr. Rubin’s oral presentation will show that in mouse models of diabetic obesity, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced HbA1c to levels comparable to lean controls and improved glucose tolerance by 25%. When combined with an incretin, APJ agonism further improved glycemic control compared to the incretin alone. Currently, fewer than half of patients with type 2 diabetes achieve optimal glycemic control on current incretin therapies.
  • Cardioprotective effects in HFpEF — Dr. Yan’s poster will show that in a mouse model of obesity-associated heart failure, APJ agonist monotherapy reduced cardiac hypertrophy and suppressed markers of cardiac injury. Combination of APJ agonism with an incretin provided enhanced cardioprotective benefits and greater weight loss compared to either treatment alone. Over half of heart failure patients have preserved ejection fraction, and approximately two-thirds of these patients have obesity. Current therapeutic options for obesity-associated HFpEF remain limited.

Oral presentation: Saturday Jun 21, 2025 5:00 PM – 5:15 PM CDT
Title: An Oral Apelin Receptor Agonist Enhances Glycemic Control in Preclinical Models of Diabetic Obesity Both as Monotherapy and in Combination with Tirzepatide
Session: Early Phase, Post Hoc, and Subgroup Analyses from Clinical Trials Testing Incretin-Based Therapies—Take 1; W181 A-C
Presenter: Paul Rubin, MD, Chief Medical Officer and EVP-Research

Poster presentation: Sunday Jun 22, 2025 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM CDT
Title: The Apelin Receptor Agonist Azelaprag Shows Cardioprotective Effects as Monotherapy and Enhanced Benefits with Semaglutide in a Diet-Induced Obesity Model of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Session: Poster Hall F1, Board No. 866
Presenter: Shijun Yan, PhD, MBA, Senior Scientist, In Vivo Biology

The visual materials for the presentations will be made available on the BioAge investor website https://ir.bioagelabs.com concurrent with the beginning of their respective sessions.

About BioAge Labs, Inc.

BioAge is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic product candidates for metabolic diseases by targeting the biology of human aging. The Company’s lead product candidate, BGE-102, is a potent, orally available, brain-penetrant small-molecule NLRP3 inhibitor being developed for obesity. BGE-102 has demonstrated significant weight loss in preclinical models both as monotherapy and in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists. IND submission and initiation of a Phase 1 SAD/MAD trial are planned for mid-2025, with initial SAD data anticipated by end of year. The Company is also developing long-acting injectable and oral small molecule APJ agonists for obesity. BioAge’s additional preclinical programs, which leverage insights from the Company’s proprietary discovery platform built on human longevity data, address key pathways involved in metabolic aging.
