It is an analog of oxyntomodulin (OXM).[1][2][3] The drug is developed by Eli Lilly and Innovent Biologics. and is currently in multiple Phase III studies.[4][5] In May 2025, a result of Phase III study has shown that once-weekly mazdutide led to clinically relevant reductions in body weight in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity.[6]
