Novo Nordisk to advance subcutaneous and oral amycretin for weight management

Novo Nordisk (NVO) announced that it will advance subcutaneous and oral amycretin into Phase 3 development in weight management based on completed clinical studies. The decision to advance subcutaneous and oral amycretin into Phase 3 is based on feedback received from regulatory authorities following end-of-Phase 2 interactions for subcutaneous and oral amycretin in weight management, the company said. Novo Nordisk is now planning to initiate a phase 3 development programme with amycretin for adults with overweight or obesity during the first quarter of 2026. “We are very pleased that the feedback from regulatory authorities has allowed us to take subcutaneous and oral amycretin in weight management to phase 3. We are excited about the amycretin molecule, and this marks an important step forward. We look forward to sharing more information on the design of the phase 3 programme,” said Martin Lange, executive vice president for Development at Novo Nordisk.
