Congratulations to Alexander Sparre-Ulrich and the team at Antag Therapeutics on the IND acceptance of their lead molecule AT-7687, a GIP receptor (GIPR) antagonist for the treatment of obesity. We are thrilled to see Antag Therapeutics achieve this milestone and is excited to continue our support for the Company! https://lnkd.in/eJsGVHPV
📢 @Antag Therapeutics is pleased to announce #FDA IND clearance for AT-7687, our lead molecule for the treatment of #obesity. AT-7687 is a peptide GIP receptor antagonist, designed for once-weekly subcutaneous administration. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that AT-7687 attenuates weight gain and enhances GLP-1-mediated weight loss while also improving lipid profiles, particularly LDL, independently of weight changes. Our phase I clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of AT-7687, both as a monotherapy and in combination with #semaglutide, in healthy lean and healthy obese participants. This is a significant milestone for #AntagTherapeutics, and we look forward to updating you as we progress AT-7687 through clinical development.
