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.

"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.
