1. Wave Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:WVE)

Wave Life hit a new six-year high on Monday after soaring by more than double following stellar results from the first phase of its obesity drug clinical trial.

At intra-day trading, the stock climbed to its highest price of $19.54 before trimming gains to finish the day just up by 147.26 percent at $18.52 apiece.

In an updated report, Wave Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:WVE) said that enrolled patients who took 240 mg of its drug candidate, WVE-007, improved their body composition through a 4.5 percent total fat loss, 9.4 percent visceral fat reduction, and a 3.2 percent increase in lean mass in just three months.

Notably, the drug candidate taken up to 600 mg was generally safe and well-tolerated, and there were no serious adverse events recorded.

Wave Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:WVE) expects to deliver the results of the second round of the clinical trial, covering six months for the 240 mg single-dose cohort, as well as three-month follow-up data for the 400mg single-dose cohort.

In the second quarter of 2026, the company is also targeting to deliver six-month follow-up data from the 400 mg single-dose cohort and three-month follow-up data from the 600 mg single-dose cohort.

For phase 2, Wave Life Sciences Ltd (NASDAQ:WVE) would evaluate WVE-007 as both a monotherapy and an add-on therapy to incretins in populations with higher BMI and related co-morbidities, and as a maintenance therapy post-incretin treatment.
