Lexaria Bioscience Begins Human Trials for Oral Liraglutide Alternative

Story Highlights

Lexaria Bioscience ( (LEXX) ) has issued an update.

Lexaria Bioscience has commenced dosing in its human study GLP-1-H25-5, which compares oral DehydraTECH-liraglutide to the injected Saxenda-branded liraglutide. This study aims to evaluate pharmacokinetics and safety in humans, building on previous rodent studies that showed significant weight and blood sugar reductions. The results could potentially position Lexaria’s oral formulation as a competitive alternative in the market currently dominated by injectable forms of liraglutide, such as those produced by Novo Nordisk.
