Sciwind Biosciences to Highlight Positive Results for Ecnoglutide & Ecnoglutide

Sciwind Biosciences to Highlight Positive Results for Injectable Ecnoglutide (Phase 3), Oral Ecnoglutide (Phase 1), and Novel Amylin Analogs at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 84th Annual Conference

Overview

A Phase 1 study of oral ecnoglutide (1871-LB) showed it to be safe and well tolerated and result in pronounced weight loss (up to -6.76% after 6 weeks of dosing). Improved oral bioavailability enables a 15 to 30 mg daily dose of oral ecnoglutide to match or exceed the plasma exposure of weekly subcutaneous GLP-1 analogs for weight loss.
In a Phase 3 study in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (742-P, 793-P), weekly subcutaneous ecnoglutide resulted in robust HbA1c declines of up to -2.43% from baseline after 24 weeks of treatment, with up to 35.2% of participants reaching normoglycemia (HbA1c <5.7%) and 43.7% with weight reductions ≥5%.

Novel Amylin Analogs

• Novel amylin analogs (788-P, 789-P) were identified that showed potent in vitro activity. 
• In preclinical models, combination of amylin analogs with ecnoglutide demonstrated a synergistic effect on body weight reduction, with improved efficacy compared to combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide. 
• Moreover, a novel amylin development candidate was identified that is stable at neutral pH, providing the opportunity to co-formulate with ecnoglutide or other GLP-1 analogs to improve ease of use for patients and reduce costs. 
• Sciwind Biosciences Co., Ltd., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on discovering and developing innovative therapies to treat metabolic disease, today announced that the company will present positive results from a Phase 3 clinical study of injectable ecnoglutide (XW003) in T2DM patients and from a Phase 1 study for oral ecnoglutide (XW004) in healthy and healthy obese participants, as well as preclinical data for novel amylin analog programs, at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 84th Annual Conference. 

About Ecnoglutide

• Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogs are effective therapies in managing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and have demonstrated clinical potential as a treatment for MASH. 
• Ecnoglutide is a novel, biased, long-acting GLP-1 peptide analog optimized for improved biological activity, cost-effective manufacturing, and once weekly subcutaneous dosing.
• Ecnoglutide has demonstrated treatment benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity and is safe and well tolerated in Phase 1 through Phase 3 clinical studies.

About Sciwind
