Key Takeaways from the GLP Agonist Pipeline Report

• DelveInsight’s GLP agonist pipeline report depicts a robust space with 20+ active players working to develop 22+ pipeline GLP agonists.
• Key GLP agonist companies such as Sciwind, Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck, Eccogene, Suzhou, Regor Pharmaceuticals, Eli Lilly and Company, Neuraly, Carmot Therapeutics, Viking Therapeutics, Biolexis Therapeutics and others are evaluating new GLP agonist drugs to improve the treatment landscape.
• Promising pipeline GLP agonists such as XW014, Survodutide, MK-6024, ECC5004, RGT001-075, Tirzepatide, CT 388, Pegylated exenatide, VK2735, MLX 7000  and others are under different phases of GLP agonist clinical trials.
• In July 2024, Pfizer announced that based on results from the ongoing pharmacokinetic study (NCT06153758), the company selected its preferred once-daily modified release formulation for danuglipron, an oral glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.
• In July 2024,  Amylyx Pharmaceuticals announced the acquisition of avexitide from Eiger BioPharmaceuticals. Avexitide has been studied for the potential treatment of first-in-class GLP-1 receptor antagonists to treat hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia to date.
• In July 2024, Genentech, a member of the Roche Group announced positive topline results from two arms of an ongoing multi-part Phase I clinical trial for CT-996, an investigational, once-daily, oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist being developed for the treatment of both type 2 diabetes and obesity.
• In May 2024, Roche’s dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist CT-388 produced positive findings treating obesity and type 2 diabetes in a Phase Ib clinical trial. The company announced results from the trial show that a once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) injection of CT-388 produced significant weight loss in healthy adults with obesity compared with placebo across 24 weeks.
• In March 2024, Viking Therapeutics announced positive results from the company’s Phase I multiple ascending dose (MAD) clinical trial of an oral tablet formulation of VK2735, a dual agonist of the glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, in development for the potential treatment of metabolic disorders such as obesity.
• In January 2024, Sciwind Biosciences announced positive interim results from the first four cohorts of a Phase I clinical trial of oral ecnoglutide (XW004). Ecnoglutide is a long-acting, cAMP signaling biased, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog that is being developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

GLP Agonist Overview

Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) agonists are medications mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. They imitate the action of the natural hormone GLP-1, which is released by the intestines after eating. GLP-1 is vital for regulating blood sugar levels by promoting insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release, both of which help to lower blood glucose.

There are several GLP-1 receptor agonists available, each with its own formulation and dosing schedule. Commonly prescribed ones include exenatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, semaglutide, and lixisenatide. These medications are usually given by subcutaneous injection, with dosing frequencies ranging from daily to weekly. This convenient dosing can enhance patient adherence and lead to better treatment outcomes.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are crucial in managing type 2 diabetes and obesity due to their diverse effects. They boost insulin secretion in response to glucose while inhibiting glucagon release, aiding in blood sugar control without causing hypoglycemia. Additionally, they reduce appetite, support weight loss, and offer cardiovascular benefits, such as lowering the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). These agents may also help preserve pancreatic beta cell function, improve liver health in conditions like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and potentially provide neuroprotective and renoprotective effects. With convenient dosing options and potential for combination therapies, GLP-1 agonists are promising treatments for various metabolic and neurological conditions, highlighting their significant clinical importance.
