Peptide research profile

Survodutide

Survodutide (BI 456906) is a dual glucagon/GLP-1 receptor agonist being developed by Boehringer Ingelheim. It is designed for weight management and the treatment of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Clinical trials have shown that Survodutide can significantly reduce body weight and improve metabolic health by promoting satiety and enhancing energy expenditure.
