Mechanism of Action
Eloralintide is a small-molecule, non-peptide GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the action of GLP-1. Unlike traditional peptide-based GLP-1 agonists, it is orally bioavailable without requiring absorption enhancers. It activates GLP-1 receptors to suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying, and enhance glucose-dependent insulin secretion.
Research Summary
Phase 2 GSBR-1290-004 trial (2024) showed up to 14.4% body weight reduction at 36 weeks with the highest dose. Results showed a favorable GI tolerability profile compared to injectable GLP-1 agonists, with lower rates of nausea and vomiting. The oral small-molecule design eliminates the need for injections, potentially improving patient adherence. Structure Therapeutics reported positive Phase 2b results with dose-dependent weight loss across multiple cohorts.
