Innovent Biologics Inc.’s glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucagon receptor (GCGR) dual agonist, mazdutide, met the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in a phase III type 2 diabetes trial in Chinese adults. “Mazdutide is the first and fastest-developed GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist in the world, and we are actively promoting the development of mazdutide for weight loss, T2D and other indications,” Lei Qian, Innovent’s vice president of clinical development, said.

Following an advisory committee’s recommendation in May against approval, the U.S. FDA issued a complete response letter (CRL) to Novo Nordisk A/S for its once-weekly insulin icodec injection for diabetes, which is on the market as Awiqli in several other countries.
Roche Holdings AG received CE mark for its artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system, Accu-Chek Smartguide. The company said the solution addresses the unmet need around diabetes management and glycemic control as it offers critical predictions to people living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Continuous glucose monitors continue to post positive results for managing diabetes in an ever-expanding population. Long a mainstay of disease management for those with type 1 diabetes, the devices have also proved themselves in treating type 2 diabetes that requires multiple daily injections of insulin.
Endogenex Inc. closed an oversubscribed $88 million series C financing round to support completion of its investigational device exemption trial for the Recet system. The Recet system uses non-thermal pulsed electric fields to remodel the duodenal tissue to treat adults with type 2 diabetes.
The U.S. FDA clamped a full clinical hold Biomea Fusion Inc.‘s phase I/II study of BMF-219 for treating type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. The hold sank the stock on June 7 as the company looked to find answers so it could sit down with the agency to discuss next steps.
As a meeting looms of the U.S. FDA’s Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee to evaluate a similar product from Novo Nordisk A/S, Eli Lilly and Co. made public positive top-line phase III data with its once-weekly insulin, efsitora alfa, in adults with type 2 diabetes using insulin for the first time and in those who require multiple daily injections.
Innovent Biologics Inc.’s glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucagon receptor dual agonist, mazdutide, met the primary endpoint of superiority in a head-to-head phase III trial in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes compared to Eli Lilly and Co.’s GLP-1, dulaglutide, for glycemic control.
