Type 2 & other diabetes

The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of an optimized dual GLP ‐1/ GIP receptor agonist ( BGM0504 ) in healthy volunteers: A dose‐escalation Phase I study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

BGM0504 was generally safe and well tolerated with favourable PK profile and potential role in weight loss was also confirmed. These findings support subsequent development of BGM0504 for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity.
