Innovent's First New Drug Application of Mazdutide for Chronic Weight Management has been Accepted by the NMPA of China
- None.
- None.
Mazdutide is the first GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist to successfully complete Phase 3 trials in support of a NDA submission. As a new generation of weight-loss drugs activating both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, mazdutide could bring an efficacious, safe and easy-to-use treatment option to the vast and ever-growing population with overweight or obesity in
In January 2024, the Phase 3 GLORY-1 (NCT05607680) clinical trial of mazdutide in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity met the primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints. Mazdutide 4 mg and 6 mg showed superiority over placebo in terms of body weight reduction and multiple weight-related and cardiometabolic endpoints. The safety profile was similar to that observed in previous clinical studies of mazdutide, with no new safety signals observed. Innovent will release detailed results from the GLORY-1 study in medical conferences or journals later in 2024.
Professor Linong Ji, the leading principal investigator of the study, Peking University People's Hospital, stated, "With early prevention and timely intervention of overweight and obesity, the risks for numerous chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver could be effectively reduced, which would improve quality of life and alleviate disease burdens. However, weight loss and management through lifestyle intervention alone is usually difficult to achieve or maintain for many people living with obesity or overweight. Safe and efficacious weight management pharmacotherapies could significantly reduce body weight and improve weight-related cardiometabolic risk factors and health-related outcomes. I'm encouraged by the robust weight-loss efficacy, cardiometabolic benefits and favorable safety of mazdutide. Together with the other investigators in the study, I'm proud of its NDA submission as an innovative anti-obesity pharmacotherapy in
Dr. Lei Qian, Vice President of Clinical Development of Innovent, stated, "With regulatory acceptance of the first NDA, mazdutide continues to pioneer the clinical development of GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonists. As a next-generation GLP-1-based anti-obesity drug, mazdutide has demonstrated robust weight-loss efficacy and cardiometabolic benefits in several clinical trials with more than one thousand subjects enrolled. We will communicate closely with the NMPA and expect to provide a safe and effective weight management medication for Chinese people with overweight or obesity soon. We are also developing mazdutide for other indications based on scientific evidence and unmet medical needs. Innovent will continue strategically building our next-generation product pipeline in the cardiovascular and metabolic (CVM) field and help people pursue a healthy life."
