๐ก Key Considerations
- โInvestigational drug: not approved by any regulatory authority
- โNovel amylin-based mechanism distinct from GLP-1 agonists; may complement GLP-1 therapy
- โClinical data limited to Phase 1b; ZUPREME Phase 2b trials are ongoing

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight Management (Phase 1b) | Dose escalation up to 4.8 mg once weekly subcutaneous injection. | Once weekly subcutaneous injection | 16 doses (Phase 1b trial) | The 4.8 mg dose achieved 8.6% body weight loss over 16 once-weekly doses. Well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities reported. |
| Weight Management (ZUPREME Phase 2b) | Multiple dose levels under evaluation in ZUPREME-1 (monotherapy) and ZUPREME-2 (combination with GLP-1 agonist). Specific doses not yet disclosed. | Once weekly subcutaneous injection | Phase 2b trial (duration not disclosed) | ZUPREME-1 evaluates petrelintide monotherapy. ZUPREME-2 evaluates combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist for enhanced weight loss. |

Investigational Status#
Petrelintide is an investigational drug not approved by any regulatory authority. All dosing information is derived from clinical trials.
Phase 1b Dose Escalation#
In Phase 1b, petrelintide was administered as once-weekly subcutaneous injections with dose escalation up to 4.8 mg.
| Dose Level | Weight Loss | Tolerability |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 4.8 mg weekly | 8.6% body weight loss | Well tolerated |
ZUPREME Phase 2b Program#
Two Phase 2b trials are underway:
| Trial | Design | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| ZUPREME-1 | Petrelintide monotherapy | Dose-ranging for optimal monotherapy dose |
| ZUPREME-2 | Petrelintide + GLP-1 agonist | Combination for enhanced efficacy |
Administration#
Petrelintide is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The combination approach in ZUPREME-2 leverages the complementary mechanisms of amylin and GLP-1 receptor agonism to potentially achieve greater weight loss than either agent alone.
Dosing Context#
Petrelintide belongs to the Metabolic category of research peptides. Dosing protocols for Petrelintide are derived from available clinical trial data. These protocols are provided for research reference only and do not constitute medical advice. Actual dosing decisions should be made by qualified healthcare providers based on individual patient factors.
Research Protocols#
The following dosing protocols have been documented in clinical research for Petrelintide:
Weight Management (Phase 1b)#
Dose: Dose escalation up to 4.8 mg once weekly subcutaneous injection.
Frequency: Once weekly subcutaneous injection
Duration: 16 doses (Phase 1b trial)
The 4.8 mg dose achieved 8.6% body weight loss over 16 once-weekly doses. Well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities reported.
Weight Management (ZUPREME Phase 2b)#
Dose: Multiple dose levels under evaluation in ZUPREME-1 (monotherapy) and ZUPREME-2 (combination with GLP-1 agonist). Specific doses not yet disclosed.
Frequency: Once weekly subcutaneous injection
Duration: Phase 2b trial (duration not disclosed)
ZUPREME-1 evaluates petrelintide monotherapy. ZUPREME-2 evaluates combination with a GLP-1 receptor agonist for enhanced weight loss.
