Josh Jennings's questions to ALLURION TECHNOLOGIES (ALUR) leadership

Josh Jennings's questions to ALLURION TECHNOLOGIES (ALUR) leadership • Q2 2025

Question

Asked about the financial and practical implications of the company's strategic pivot to combination therapy, including cost-effectiveness internationally, future revenue guidance amidst distributor changes, and the expected timeline for FDA approval of the PMA submission.

Answer

The company stated that combination therapy is cost-effective internationally due to lower GLP-1 prices abroad. The combo approach is expected to improve patient adherence and long-term health outcomes. Guidance is currently suspended due to short-term disruption from distributor transitions. The FDA approval timeline could potentially be shorter than the standard 12 months because of the modular submission process and the strength of the submitted data.

Question

Inquired about the continuation of procedure volume momentum into Q1, the current commercial adoption of the balloon and GLP-1 combo therapy, and the timeline for the prospective clinical studies on this combination.
