Survodutide is a 29-amino-acid peptide, based on the hormone
oxyntomodulin with dual agonism at GCG and GLP-1 receptors

MoA reduces body weight by increasing energy
expenditure and regulating appetite¹
Obesity - potential for ~20-25% weight loss and
improved glycemic control
Safety and tolerability - similar to other GLP-1RA-
based weight-loss medications
Deliberately designed with strong bias towards
GLP-1 receptor (8:1 receptor bias vs glucagon)²
Cardiovascular benefits - potential benefits driven
by GLP-1RA
Extended half-life for once-weekly administration
is achieved by amino acid substitutions²
MASH - potential for important benefit in MASH with
direct effect of glucagon on the liver
