Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis is an unmet medical need. MEDI0382, a balanced GLP-1/glucagon dual receptor agonist, is under development for the treatment of T2DM. Here we examined the effects of MEDI0382 on NASH compared to liraglutide, a GLP-1 analog. Leptin-deficient ob/ob mice were maintained on high trans-fat, fructose and cholesterol diet for 8 weeks to induce NASH then randomized to four treatment groups: vehicle, MEDI0382 (30 nmol/kg), liraglutide (30 nmol/kg) or vehicle-treated and switched to low-fat diet (LFD). Treatment with MEDI0382 and liraglutide reduced body weight and improved glucose tolerance. Hepatic lipid was reduced by 40% with MEDI0382 treatment (p In conclusion, MEDI0382 exerted similar metabolic control relative to liraglutide, but exhibited superior effects on primary NASH endpoints.
