Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals Announces U.S. FDA Clearance of the IND application for the innovative Bi-weekly GLP-1RA GZR18 Injection, Bofanglutide, with chronic weight management Indication (A Phase 2 head-to-head with Tirzepatide clinical trial)

BEIJING and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals (Gan & Lee, Shanghai Stock Exchange: 603087.SH), is pleased to announce that the Food and Drug Administration (” FDA “) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for GZR18 Injection to conduct a phase 2 clinical trial, a head-to-head with Tirzepatide from Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) in the US (NCT06737042). GZR18 is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) being developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals. The clinical trial indication of this application is the chronic weight management for obese or overweight patients, with or without T2DM.

According to the latest data released by the World Obesity Federation (WOF) Global Obesity Report (2024), approximately 2.2 billion adults worldwide were overweight (referring to BMI ≥ 25kg/m2) in 2020, accounting for about 42% of the total adult population. It is expected that this number will rise to 3.3 billion by 20351. Obesity can lead to a series of complications, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and even mental diseases such as depression. The medical expenses caused by obesity and its complications have brought a heavy medical burden to patients and society.

GZR18, as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, can delay gastric emptying by activating GLP-1 receptors expressed on the gastrointestinal tract; and enhance satiety and suppress appetite by activating GLP-1 receptors in the hypothalamus and other parts, thereby reducing the patient’s weight. GZR18 injection is the first biweekly GLP-1 mono-agonist formulation. Current clinical data has demonstrated weight loss effects comparable to or even better than multi-target once-weekly GLP-1 formulations, providing new insights for the future development of GLP-1 drugs. The development of the bi-weekly GZR18 injection is expected to offer more flexible treatment options for obese patients , leading to improved long-term weight management efficacy and adherence.

About GZR18

GZR18 is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) being developed by Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals. The indications currently under development are type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management for obese or overweight patients. Clinical data shows that administering GZR18 injection once a week and every two weeks can achieve good hypoglycemic or weight loss effects2.

The company is also making strides in international markets, with the disposable pen needle (GanleeFine®) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2020 and received GMP inspection approval from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2024.
