Roche Petrelintide ZUPREME-1 at ADA: Amylin Analog Targets the 30-40% of Patients Who Quit GLP-1s for GI Tolerability
Roche presented ZUPREME-1 Phase 2 data for petrelintide, the once-weekly long-acting amylin analog licensed from Zealand Pharma, at the Monday June 8 investor event. The pitch hinges on tolerability: published topline showed up to 10.7% weight loss at 42 weeks versus 1.7% placebo, with discontinuation 4.8% vs 4.9% placebo and no vomiting at the maximally effective dose. Medical Daily framed the readout as a non-incretin option for the estimated 30-40% of patients who quit GLP-1s for GI side effects. Petrelintide advances to Phase 3 alongside enicepatide.
