LATP
LATP:
Two leading products (LTP-0521, and LTP-03) are in pre-clinical stage. The efficacy and toxicity were confirmed in rodent studies. IND-enabling studies of LTP-0521 has been in progress.
LTP-0521
- Optimized activity on GLP-1R, GCGR, GIPR, and FGF21R
- Mimics physiological peptide activity, avoiding sustained activation of off-target receptors
- Effectively reduces body weight in DIO model and preferentially induces fat loss
- Robust anti-MASH activity with marked reduction in liver fat and fibrosis
- Limited CNS exposure, exerts mild effects on food intake
- Similar to native sequence and containing only natural amino acids, thus decreasing any immunogenicity risk
- Prolonged half-life
- Produced by recombinant expression without chemical modifications, thus decreasing any immunogenicity risk
- No safety issues on MASH NHPs up to 3 mg/kg (SC), efficacy and dose escalation studies are on-going
LTP-03
- Balanced GLP-1R and GCGR activation, and enhanced GIPR activation
- All natural amino acid and no chemical modifacations renders low immunogenicity
- Mininal CNS exposure, mild effect on food intake
- Half-life similar to Semaglutide in mice; Co-administration with Sitagliptin (a DPPIV inhibitor) further extended the half-life.
- Mimic physiological properties of native peptides: no sustained activation of related receptors
- Similar physiochemical and pharmacological profiles, and CMC to Dulaglutide
- Potentially armed with additional metabolic hormones
