Danish biotech Zealand Pharma is targeting the"next generation" of weight loss drugs as competitors pile into a market dominated by heavyweights Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.
However, Steensberg said it's the company's separate obesity drug candidate, Petrelintide, a long-acting amylin analog, which could set it apart from the competition, offering an alternative for users who cannot tolerate GLP-1s.European markets expected to open slightly higher; UK GDP data in focus "It's two very different human experiences," Steensberg said, comparing GLP-1s with amylin analogs."If you work on satiety, it will be a more pleasant experience. So once you get into it, you can stay long-term treatment."
"If we can develop a molecule that is giving patients the weight loss they're looking for with a very benign tolerability profile, and we can also show risk reduction when it comes to cardiovascular health, I think we have all the reasons to believe it could become a first-line therapy," Steensberg told CNBC in the interview Thursday.
