Medscape Frames the Beyond-GLP-1 Pipeline at ADA 2026: Amylin, Triagonist, Antibody-Peptide, and Preclinical Acceleration
A Medscape ADA wrap on June 8 framed the post-GLP-1 era taking shape across the meeting: amylin analogs (petrelintide, cagrilintide, eloralintide) targeting GI-intolerance, triagonists (retatrutide), antibody-peptide conjugates (Amgen's maridebart cafraglutide/MariTide), and preclinical acceleration through AI peptide-design platforms. Each angle aims at the population gap that current GLP-1 monotherapy leaves: the patients who quit for tolerability, the ones who plateau, and the ones who need additional metabolic effects beyond appetite.
