Lancet (London, England)·July 30, 2026·PMID 42532080

Why it matters

Zenagamtide combines GLP-1 and amylin receptor agonism in a single molecule, potentially offering enhanced glycemic control and weight loss beyond current agents. This dose-finding study establishes its efficacy and safety profile, informing future development for type 2 diabetes and possibly obesity.
