Hanmi Pharm Accelerates Launch of Efpeglenatide for Obesity Treatment

• Hanmi Pharm aims to launch efpeglenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, for obesity treatment in late 2026, ahead of the previously projected 2027 timeline. • Efpeglenatide distinguishes itself from other GLP-1 drugs with a gradual release mechanism, potentially reducing gastrointestinal side effects and offering cardiovascular and renal benefits. • Hanmi is also developing a digital combination drug integrating efpeglenatide with digital therapeutics for personalized obesity management. • The company's broader Hanmi Obesity Pipeline (H.O.P.) project includes a triple-acting therapy (HM15275) and a novel drug (HM17321) to enhance weight reduction and muscle mass.
