Metsera Secures $215M to Advance GLP-1 Obesity Treatment Plans with Promising Phase 1 Results
Metsera's impressive fundraising achievements have been underscored through its successful securing of a $215 million Series B funding round. This recent financial influx brings the company’s total funding to over $500 million, a notable milestone achieved since its launch in April. The Series B round has attracted major investments from Wellington Management and Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners, with additional support from Fidelity Management & Research and T. Rowe Price[1][2][3]. The funding will be instrumental in advancing Metsera's promising GLP-1 receptor agonist program, aiding the forthcoming 16-week Phase II trial of MET-097i and other obesity-focused treatment developments[3].
