ARD-101

Phase 3 · Active Modality: small molecule

Target TAS2Rs (bitter taste receptors)

Indications

Hyperphagia associated with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) (Phase 3)

Status note FDA clinical hold on the ARD-101 program (May 2026) following reversible cardiac observations in a healthy volunteer study (QRS duration increases at supratherapeutic dose); the Phase 3 HERO trial and the OLE trial were terminated in June 2026. The company is evaluating whether and how to pursue further development, including a potentially redesigned trial; previously guided HERO topline in Q3 2026 is withdrawn, so no dated catalyst is stated.

ARD-201

Phase 2 · Active Modality: small molecule

Target TAS2R agonist (ARD-101) + DPP-4 inhibitor (fixed-dose combination)

Indications

Obesity and obesity-related conditions, including prevention of weight regain following GLP-1RA therapy (Phase 2)

Status note Fixed-dose combination of ARD-101 and a DPP-4 inhibitor (STRENGTH acronym states sitagliptin). POWER (Phase 2, initiated Dec 2025) and planned STRENGTH trials were paused in Feb 2026; further development depends on resolution of the ARD-101 clinical hold. Not explicitly discontinued.
