ZP2929, to significantly decrease body weight and reduce the risk of Diabetes-related complications

Zealand Pharma has reported that it is developing a new treatment, ZP2929, for Type 2 Diabetes. ZP2929 has the potential to significantly decrease body weight and reduce the risk of Diabetes-related complications. The drug is now moving into pre-clinical development.

ZP2929 is a dual Glucagon-GLP-1 agonist, a peptide drug which interacts with two receptor systems that play a role in metabolism and Type 2 Diabetes.

David Solomon, CEO of Zealand Pharma, said: We have been through a long and exciting research period. The result is a new dual Glucagon-GLP-1 agonist that both controls the blood glucose levels and reduces weight in obese diabetic models.

We feel confident that our new dual Glucagon-GLP-1 agonist ZP2929, with its properties, will lead to a greater weight loss than its competitors.
