Regeneron aims to stop muscle loss with combination treatment approach in obesity

02 Feb 2024
Phase 2
Regeneron reiterated its plans to jump into the weight loss race in 2024, expecting to start testing a combination of its muscle-preserving drugs with semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy. The $105 billion New York biotech said it anticipates starting a Phase II study in mid-2024 that will test a range of different doses and combinations of semaglutide, trevogrumab (an anti-myostatin antibody) and garetosmab (an anti-activin A antibody). George Yancopoulos, Regeneron’s chief scientific officer, highlighted the loss of muscle as a concerning side effect of obesity treatments like Ozempic and Eli Lilly’s Zepbound.
