Comment: Amylin acts as an appetite suppressor. Novo Nordisk have a long-acting amylin mimetic (AM833, NNC0174-0833) in clinical trials with and without semaglutide. AM833 is intended as a treatment for obesity. In the trials it is administered subcutaneously, once-weekly. Preliminary (and as yet unpublished) results from a Phase 2 trial as monotherapy demonstrated weight loss of 10.8% at week 26, meeting the study's primary endpoint (Novo Nordisk press release 18 Jun 2020).
