Survodutide (BI 456906) is an experimental peptide that works as a dual glucagon/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Unlike other dual GLP-1/glucagon dual agonists, it is a glucagon analog rather than an analog of oxyntomodulin. It is developed by Boehringer Ingelheim as a weight loss drug. [1] [2] [3]
Survodutide is a twincretin having dual glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptor agonist activity, conceptually based on endogenous peptide oxyntomodulin. In a meta-analysis involving data from 3 randomized controlled trials having 1088 patients, 4- 11 months use of survodutide at doses 2.4-4.8 mg / week was associated with on an average 7-9% reduction in body weight from baseline. This translates to around 9-15kg of body weight reduction from baseline. Gastrointestinal side effects were the predominant side effects, were mild and dose dependent, as has been noted with other incretin based therapies. [4]
