Eloralintide is a selective amylin-receptor agonist that is not yet approved anywhere. In a 48-week phase 2 trial in 263 US adults with obesity or overweight, four fixed weekly dose levels between 1 and 9 mg (plus two escalation arms) produced dose-dependent weight loss, and phase 3 studies have since been registered.
Commonly reported dosing (10 mg vial)
| Phase | Dose | Volume | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lowest fixed-dose arm | 1 mg | 0.1 mL | 10 |
| Mid fixed-dose arm | 3 mg | 0.3 mL | 30 |
| Higher fixed-dose arm | 6 mg | 0.6 mL | 60 |
| Highest fixed-dose arm | 9 mg | 0.9 mL | 90 |
Commonly reported reconstitution steps
- Vials are usually brought to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes) first.
- 1 mL of bacteriostatic water is added slowly down the inside wall of the 10 mg vial.
- The vial is swirled gently until clear, not shaken.
- This gives 10 mg/mL. Mixed vials are typically labeled with the date and refrigerated.
Storage
Before mixing: Vial figures commonly describe refrigeration (2-8 °C) with protection from light.
After mixing: No compound-specific stability period after reconstitution has been established; refrigeration and light protection are commonly reported.
How it works
By activating amylin receptors it is thought to act on appetite-regulating brain circuits and gastric emptying, similar in concept to other amylin analogues but with more selective receptor activity.
Researched for
- A 48-week phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial in adults with obesity or overweight without diabetes.
- Phase 3 programme in obesity, with and without type 2 diabetes, in sleep apnea, and as an add-on to incretin therapy.
Notes
- The four amounts above are separate fixed-dose arms from the phase 2 trial; the trial also tested escalation from 3 mg and 6 mg up to 9 mg.
- The 1 mL reconstitution is a worked calculation for research vials (10 mg/mL); the trial publication did not describe vial preparation.
- Nausea and fatigue were the most commonly reported adverse events, mostly mild to moderate, and tolerability was better with dose escalation.
