Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 12, 2026, MBX Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release (the "Press Release") titled “MBX Biosciences Announces One-Year Data Demonstrating Sustained Benefit of Once-Weekly Canvuparatide as a Potential PTH Replacement Therapy in Chronic Hypoparathyroidism.” A copy of the Press Release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Also, on June 12, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. E.T., the Company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the one-year data from the Phase 2 Avail™ and open-label extension ("OLE") clinical trials of canvuparatide in adult patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism ("HP"). A copy of the presentation from the event will be available in the "Investors" section of the Company's website at www.mbxbio.com and is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information included under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 12, 2026, the Company announced one-year data from the Phase 2 Avail™ and OLE clinical trials of canvuparatide in adult patients with chronic HP. The update is summarized below.

Key Findings from the 12-Week Avail™ Phase 2 Trial and One-Year OLE

Responder Rate

•

At 12 Weeks: As previously reported, 63% of canvuparatide-treated patients (30/48) achieved the primary composite endpoint compared with 31% of placebo-treated patients (5/16) (p=0.042). The primary endpoint was defined as maintaining albumin-adjusted serum calcium levels in the normal range and independence from conventional therapy (active vitamin D and >600 mg/day of calcium supplements).

•

At One Year: 57% of evaluable patients (31/54) achieved responder status; zero contribution from rescue therapy (PRN) in the last week of the one-year treatment period.

Pharmacokinetic Profile

•

Pharmacokinetics ("PK"): PK data from the Phase 2 trial continued to support the potential for once-weekly dosing. PK demonstrated consistent concentration of canvuparatide active drug with a Tmax of 2-3 days, minimal fluctuation and a peak‑to‑trough ratio of approximately 1.3 over a week, ensuring consistent systemic drug exposure over the entire weekly dosing interval.

Evidence of Physiologic PTH Replacement

•

Calcium Homeostasis: Mean serum calcium levels were maintained within the normal range through one year of treatment, while mean 24-hour urine calcium levels decreased from baseline and remained within the normal range, with continued reductions observed over time in both canvuparatide-treated patients and those who switched from placebo.

•

Kidney Function: Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate ("eGFR") increased from baseline at Week 12 in canvuparatide-treated patients and remained improved through one year of treatment.

•

Bone Activity: Markers of bone resorption (C-terminal peptide; CTx) and formation (procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide; P1NP) demonstrated the expected pattern of bone turnover associated with PTH replacement therapy through one year. Changes in bone mineral density (BMD) T-scores and Z-scores were consistent with restoration of physiologic bone remodeling.

One-Year OLE Safety Summary

•

Once-weekly canvuparatide was generally well tolerated through one year of treatment, with no new safety signals observed during the OLE.

•

Most treatment emergent adverse events were mild or moderate in severity.

•

No treatment-related serious adverse events were reported.

•

Injection site reactions were reported in 10% of patients in the OLE.

Exploratory Assessments

•

Patient-Reported Outcomes: Trends toward improvement were observed across multiple SF-36v2 domains; however, interpretation was limited by incomplete baseline data.
