OMP has developed Sirona, which, taken as a pill, rapidly expands in the stomach to create a sustained feeling of appetite suppression. Sirona remains in the stomach 24/7 for several days before breaking down and passing naturally. Since 2020, they have completed preclinical testing and phase 1 clinical trials. Sirona is now in phase 2a for obesity at three NHS sites, with results expected in Q4 2024.
