    On June 2, Boehringer Ingelheim and Zealand Pharma jointly announced that the FDA has granted GLP-1/glucagon receptor (GCCR) dual agonist BI 456906 fast track designation for adult non-alcoholic steatohepatitis ( NASH).


    BI 456906 is derived from the natural intestinal hormone oxyntomodulin, which can activate GLP-1 and glucagon receptors that are essential for controlling metabolic functions.


    Currently, BI 456906 is conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical study (NCT04771273) to evaluate the efficacy of the drug in adult patients with NASH and liver fibrosis (F2/F3).


    In China, Boehringer Ingelheim submitted a clinical application as early as December 22, 2020, and has launched an international multi-center phase 2 clinical trial for obese patients.
