A Trial Comparing Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of Two Subcutaneous Concentrations of Dapiglutide

This is a phase 1, open-label, single-center, randomized, parallel-group trial designed to investigate the pharmacokinetic profiles, safety, and tolerability of a single dose administration of 7.5 mg dapiglutide administered s.c. with two drug product concentrations, 10 mg/mL and 25 mg/mL. The trial will be conducted in participants with a BMI ≥ 27.0 kg/m2.

Dapiglutide is a dual Glucagon-like peptide-1-/Glucagon-like peptide-2 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1R/GLP-2RA) in clinical development for weight management. The purpose of this phase 1 trial is to compare pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose administration of 7.5 mg dapiglutide administered subcutaneously (s.c.) with two drug product concentrations, 10 mg/mL and 25 mg/mL and will be conducted in 30 participants with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 27.0 kg/m2. The development of a drug product with higher drug concentration will facilitate investigation of a wider dose range of dapiglutide in the clinical development program of the compound. The PK profile of a weight management drug should be assessed in people with a wide range of BMI and with a BMI within the range of the target population as body weight is expected to influence PKs of dapiglutide.
