Sciwind Biosciences to Highlight Positive Results for Injectable Ecnoglutide (Phase 3), Oral Ecnoglutide (Phase 1), and Novel Amylin Analogs at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 84th Annual Conference

• A Phase 1 study of oral ecnoglutide (1871-LB) showed it to be safe and well tolerated and result in pronounced weight loss (up to -6.76% after 6 weeks of dosing). Improved oral bioavailability enables a 15 to 30 mg daily dose of oral ecnoglutide to match or exceed the plasma exposure of weekly subcutaneous GLP-1 analogs for weight loss.
• In a Phase 3 study in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (742-P, 793-P), weekly subcutaneous ecnoglutide resulted in robust HbA1c declines of up to -2.43% from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment, with up to 35.2% of participants reaching normoglycemia (HbA1c <5.7%) and 43.7% with weight reductions ≥5%.
• Novel amylin analogs (788-P, 789-P) were identified that showed potent in vitro activity. In preclinical models, combination of amylin analogs with ecnoglutide demonstrated a synergistic effect on body weight reduction, with improved efficacy compared to combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide. Moreover, a novel amylin development candidate was identified that is stable at neutral pH, providing the opportunity to co-formulate with ecnoglutide or other GLP-1 analogs to improve ease of use for patients and reduce costs.

About ecnoglutide

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs are effective therapies in managing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and have demonstrated clinical potential as a treatment for MASH.  Ecnoglutide is a novel, biased, long-acting GLP-1 peptide analog optimized for improved biological activity, cost-effective manufacturing, and once weekly subcutaneous dosing. Ecnoglutide has demonstrated treatment benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity and is safe and well tolerated in Phase 1 through Phase 3 clinical studies.
