Mounting clinical evidence suggests amylin agonists could supplant GLP-1 molecules as the foundational backbone of future obesity therapy, says Zealand Pharma CEO Adam Steensberg on The BioCentury Show.
One of the leading cardiometabolic biotechs, Zealand received the largest-ever upfront payment in a biotech licensing deal when it partnered its petrelintide with Roche for nearly $2 billion. The deal helped make amylin arguably the hottest target in obesity.
