Adam Steensberg, President and Chief Executive Officer at Zealand Pharma said:
"I am very pleased with the continued advancement of our business in the first months of 2024. Our partner Boehringer Ingelheim reported impressive topline data from the Phase 2 trial with survodutide in MASH and recruitment into the Phase 3 trials in obesity is progressing very well. With our pipeline of wholly owned and differentiated obesity candidates, I am truly excited about the upcoming data read-outs for petrelintide and dapiglutide. In rare diseases, we have potential approvals in the US later in the year for both glepaglutide in short bowel syndrome and dasiglucagon in congenital hyperinsulinism. Backed by a solid financial position, we will continue to invest in our R&D programs, including preparations for comprehensive Phase 2b trials with our differentiated obesity candidates."
