VRB-103 / Sciwind Biosci, Verdiva Bio - LARVOL DELTA

Efficacy of a Novel Oral Amylin Analog and the Development of an Oral GLP-1/Amylin Coformulated Tablet to Produce High In Vivo Plasma Exposures (ADA 2025) - "In a preclinical model, the combination of the amylin analog VRB103 and VRB101 demonstrated a synergistic effect on body weight reduction. Both VRB103 and VRB101 achieved high plasma exposures in cynomolgus monkeys when dosed orally from a single co-formulated tablet containing VRB103, VRB101, and T2026, supporting continued development of the oral GLP-1/amylin combination for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes."
