HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd. ("Doer Bio"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative biotherapeutics for metabolic diseases and cancers, today announces that DR10624, its first-in-class (FIC), tri-specific agonist targeting Fibroblast growth factor 21 receptor (FGF21R), Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), and Glucagon receptor (GCGR) has completed the dosing of the first patient in the Phase 2 study of DR10624 for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG). The Phase 2 study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three dose levels of DR10624 in adult SHTG patients, who have mean fasting triglycerides of greater than or equal to 5.65 mmol/L (500 mg/dL) at screening. A total of 72 participants will be enrolled in the study. "DR10624 is a first-in-class long-acting tri-agonist targeting FGF21R, GLP-1R, and glucagon receptor (GCGR). Developed using Doer Bio's proprietary MultipleBody® platform technology, DR10624 was engineered to exhibit balanced activity for metabolic diseases. In non-clinical studies, DR10624 has demonstrated extraordinary potency in reducing body weight, lowering triglycerides, normalizing blood lipids, and improving liver function." said Yanshan Huang, Ph.D., founder and Chief Executive Officer of Doer Bio. "We're excited to announce the dosing of first patient in our Phase 2 study of DR10624 for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Patients with SHTG, particularly those with uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia, face a heightened risk of developing acute pancreatitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This Phase 2 study is designed to identify the optimal dose for pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials. We are eager to advance DR10624 as a potential treatment for patients struggling with SHTG". commented Yongliang Fang, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of Doer Bio.

HANGZHOU, China, July 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd. ("Doer Bio"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative biotherapeutics for metabolic diseases and cancers, today announces that the company has completed the enrollment in the Phase 1b/2a trial evaluating DR10624 in obese subjects with modest hypertriglyceridemia in New Zealand. DR10624 is a first-in-class (FIC), long-acting tri-specific agonist targeting Fibroblast growth factor 21 receptor (FGF21R), Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R), and Glucagon receptor (GCGR). The Phase 1b/2a study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of DR10624 in adult obese subjects (BMI of 30 to 45 kg/m2) with modest hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglyceride ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L), and <500 mg/dL (5.7 mmol/L), at screening). The study evaluates DR10624 treatment across four different dose levels. The participants will receive once-weekly subcutaneous injection of DR10624 or placebo (in a 10:2 ratio) for 12 weeks. The study will also evaluate the effects of DR10624 on serum lipids, liver fat, and body weight. "DR10624 is a novel FIC tri-specific biotherapeutic that specifically agonizing FGF21R, GLP-1R, and GCGR. Utilizing Doer Bio's proprietary MultipleBody® platform technology, DR10624 is designed and engineered to exhibit balanced activity for various metabolic diseases. In our preclinical studies, DR10624 has shown outstanding potency on body weight reduction, blood lipid normalization, and liver function improvement." said Yanshan Huang, Ph.D., founder and Chief Executive Officer of Doer Bio. "We're excited to announce the successful completion of patient enrollment for our Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of DR10624 in New Zealand. This achievement marks an important milestone in our clinical translation of DR10624 globally. We anticipate reporting the trial results in early 2025. There is a growing unmet medical need for patients suffering from obesity and hypertriglyceridemia. We look forward to developing DR10624 as a potential treatment for patients struggling with metabolic dysfunction." commented Yongliang Fang, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer of Doer Bio.
