Survodutide

GLP-1 · BI 456906

Verdict

promising

investigational; no approved human use

Quick answer

Survodutide (BI 456906) is an investigational dual agonist that activates both the GLP-1 and glucagon receptors. It is commonly researched for weight management and for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Mid-stage trials reported meaningful weight and liver-marker changes, which is why the verdict is Promising rather than Proven — it is still in clinical development, is not FDA-approved, and is not available for human use.
