Vivani Medical, Inc.
An innovative, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of ultra long-acting, miniature, drug implants to treat chronic diseases. NanoPortal platform technology enables the design of implants aimed at improving medication non-adherence and tolerability.
Lead programs include NPM-115 (high-dose exenatide) and NPM-139 (semaglutide). These miniature, subdermal, GLP-1 implants are under development for chronic weight management in obese and overweight individuals with once or twice-yearly dosing.
Pipeline also includes IND-cleared NPM-119 (exenatide) implant under development for type 2 diabetes designed for twice-yearly dosing.

Multiple potentially transformational milestones are anticipated in 2025 including completion of the First-in-human, LIBERATE-1 trial and availability of top-line data. In addition, acceleration of the NPM-139 (semaglutide implant) program toward clinical development is also anticipated.
