The Novel GlycoPEGylated FGF21 Analog Pegozafermin Activates Human FGF Receptors and Improves Metabolic and Liver Outcomes in Diabetic Monkeys and Healthy Human Volunteers [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

In cell-based assays, pegozafermin had a similar receptor engagement profile as native FGF21, with approximately 8-fold higher potency at FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1). These findings provide evidence that pegozafermin is a promising candidate molecule for the treatment of patients with NASH or SHTG.
