BLX-0871 / Biolexis Therap - LARVOL DELTA

Combination Effect of Oral GLP-1R Agonist BLX-7006 and a Oral γ3-Selective AMPK Activator BLX-0871 (OBESITY WEEK 2025) - "The combination of the oral GLP-1RA BLX-7006 and the γ3-selective AMPK activator BLX-0871 provides a compelling, mechanistically rational dualtherapy. This strategy not only improves glycemic control and enhances weight loss but also critically mitigates muscle atrophy, a key concern in obesity therapeutics.These powerful preclinical results have provided a direct rationale for clinical translation; accordingly, both BLX-7006 and BLX-0871 have advanced into Phase 1clinical trials as of Q3 2025. This tissue-selective, dual-pathway approach represents a promising next-generation strategy to treat metabolic disease more effectivelyand durably."
