Survodutide's twin — same mechanism, but this one is already approved. Three points make this entry land: (1) it's the same GLP-1 / glucagon dual class as Survodutide (#6), but built as an oxyntomodulin analog — and, crucially, it is the first GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist approved anywhere in the wor

In brief

Mazdutide is a GLP-1 / glucagon dual-agonist peptide — the same mechanism as Survodutide (#6) — but designed as an oxyntomodulin analog and co-developed by Innovent and Eli Lilly. Its defining fact: in June 2025 it became the first GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist approved anywhere in the world (China NMPA, for weight management; T2D followed in September). The glucagon arm gives it the class-typical extras — increased energy expenditure and hepatic fat oxidation, plus notable visceral-fat reduction — on top of GLP-1 appetite suppression. Efficacy is strong: GLORY-2 reached ~20.1% weight loss at over 60 weeks (the tirzepatide tier) with only a two-step dose titration, and in the DREAMS-3 head-to-head it beat semaglutide on both weight and HbA1c. Tolerability is the usual GLP-1 GI profile (nausea/diarrhea/vomiting, mostly mild-moderate and transient; ~2.9% discontinuation in GLORY-2). The honest caveat: the pivotal evidence is entirely in Chinese populations, and it is approved only in China — global trials/approvals are still pending.

OutcomeEvidence base · effectGrade
Weight loss (obesity, no diabetes)
Approved, strong efficacy — but pivotal data are Chinese-population only; not approved/validated elsewhere yet. The "A" is region-qualified
Phase 3 GLORY-2 (2025): ~20.1% at / 60 wk; GLORY-1 (NEJM 2025) positive → China NMPA approval
A
Glycemic control (T2D)
Approved for T2D in China; head-to-head win is notable; same population caveat
DREAMS-1/-2 (Nature, 2025) vs placebo; DREAMS-3 head-to-head superior to semaglutide → NMPA T2D approval

Visceral / hepatic fat
Consistent metabolic benefits reported; dedicated MASH-histology program less developed than Survodutide's

Safety / tolerability
GI predominant (nausea ~21–41%, diarrhea, vomiting — dose-escalation, then settle); mild-moderate; only 2.9% discontinued in GLORY-2; glucagon arm still requires glucose-balanced titration (like all GCGR/GLP-1 duals)
Phase 1b→3 (GLORY/DREAMS)

Identity a peptide engineered for weekly subcutaneous dosing, structurally modeled on mammalian oxyntomodulin — a naturally occurring proglucagon-derived hormone that already activates both the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. Co-developed by Innovent Biologics and Eli Lilly (Lilly China license). Same two-receptor target as Survodutide (#6) — GLP-1 + glucagon, not GIP — but reached via the OXM template. ## Mechanism (as proposed) as an oxyntomodulin analog, mazdutide co-activates GLP-1 (appetite suppression, slowed gastric emptying, insulin secretion, glucose lowering) and glucagon (GCGR) (increased energy expenditure / thermogenesis + hepatic fat oxidation + visceral-fat mobilisation). The GLP-1 component offsets glucagon's intrinsic glucose-raising tendency — the same balancing act as Survodutide, and the same reason OXM works naturally without worsening glycaemia. The net effect is potent weight loss plus comprehensive metabolic improvement (glucose, lipids, blood pressure, waist).

Not yet reviewed

A credentialed reviewer (PharmD / PhD / MD) will be named before this entry is finalised. Until then, treat it as a working draft. Last updated July 2026 (China-approved; watch for global (non-Chinese) trials and any ex-China regulatory filing, which would change the region-qualified grades).

Grades reflect the published evidence, not our interest. No dosing, reconstitution, or administration is published for research compounds — that restraint is deliberate.
