On July 20 Hengrui Medicine said its GLP‑1/GIP dual‑receptor agonist HRS9531
(KAI‑9531 outside Greater China) achieved positive top‑line results in the phase
III HRS9531‑302 trial in treatment‑naive Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes;
the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints demonstrated superiority.
Hengrui plans to submit a new drug application in China shortly for HRS9531
injection for glycaemic control in adult T2D patients. Kailera Therapeutics
(U.S.) is advancing global clinical development of HRS9531 for obesity.
