CT-996 is an once daily oral small molecule GLP-1 agonist developed to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes.[1] It is designed with minimal-to-no beta-arrestin recruitment.[2] In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical trial participants averaged 6.1 percent placebo adjusted weight loss within four weeks.[3][4][5][6] The drug is being developed by Roche/Genentech after Roche's takeover of Carmot Therapeutics in January 2024.[7][8]
