the co-agonism thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down
Thinking out loud about this: the co-agonism thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Nothing containing this compound is approved as a standalone product, and research-use-only material is not approved for human use. Dosing intuitions from the GLP-1 boards do not transfer. Different receptor family,…
Do you have the publication or a summary of it?
Complementary mechanisms are the rationale for pairing: satiety signalling alongside incretin signalling, rather than more agonism at the same receptor.
Careful — that is a dosing intuition carried over from another board and there is no basis for it here.
Correction: that is the combination programme, not the monotherapy readout. Different arms, different numbers.
read the combination arms separately from the monotherapy arms
This. Complementary mechanisms rather than more of the same is the actual argument for the pairing.
amylin and GLP-1 are not redundant pathways
REDEFINE is the combination programme
Asked a question here that turned out to be based on a mechanism confusion. Three people untangled it patiently.
