Overview

Survodutide activates both GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, similar to mazdutide. What sets it apart is its clinical data in MASH (formerly NASH), the fatty liver disease affecting millions worldwide. In a Phase 2 trial, survodutide achieved MASH resolution without worsening fibrosis in up to 83% of patients at the highest dose, along with approximately 19% weight loss. The dual-agonist approach is particularly suited to liver disease because glucagon receptor activation directly promotes hepatic fat oxidation. Boehringer Ingelheim is advancing it into Phase 3 trials for both obesity and MASH.

⚙️How it works

Survodutide activates GLP-1 receptors (reducing appetite, slowing gastric emptying, improving insulin secretion) and glucagon receptors (increasing hepatic fat oxidation, boosting energy expenditure, promoting glycogenolysis). The glucagon component is what drives the liver-specific benefits: glucagon directly stimulates the liver to burn stored fat, addressing the root cause of MASH.
