Fractyl Health REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort Data: Revita Duodenal Mucosal Resurfacing Cuts Post-Tirzepatide Weight Regain by 40% — Accepted for DDW 2026
Fractyl Health's REMAIN-1 study — the first blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial of an endoscopic 'gut reset' procedure — was accepted for presentation at DDW 2026. In 45 adults who had lost ≥15% body weight on tirzepatide and then discontinued, 29 received Revita duodenal mucosal resurfacing and 16 had a sham procedure. At 6 months post-discontinuation, Revita-treated patients regained 4.5% vs 7.5% for sham (P=0.07) — a 40% lower weight regain. Patients with more tissue resurfaced maintained >80% of pre-discontinuation weight loss. Topline pivotal-cohort data expected Q4 2026.
