VK2735, Viking Therapeutics’ dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, races to 14.7% weight loss in 13 weeks (Obesity, 2023), with injectable and oral forms in Phase II as of March 2025—Phase III talks loom late 2025. At SeraVia Health, GLP Hydration+ Restore and GLP Muscle Protect back your VK2735 success. Let’s break down what VK2735 is, its pros and cons, how it differs, and how our products support it, with science as our fuel.
What Is VK2735?
VK2735 is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist in Phase II, offered as a weekly injectable and oral (Phase I). It boosts insulin via GLP-1 and enhances fat burn with GIP, targeting obesity and diabetes (Diabetes Care, 2023). Injectable Phase II hit 14.7% in 13 weeks—faster than many peers—aiming for 2026-2027 launch.
Pros of VK2735
- Speedy Loss: 14.7% in 13 weeks—quick results (Obesity, 2023).
- Dual Forms: Injectable and oral options—flexible future (Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 2023).
- Dual Action: GLP-1/GIP synergy boosts fat burn (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2023).
- Early Promise: Outpaces some GLP-1 timelines.
Cons and Possible Side Effects
- GI Woes: 45% nausea, 30% diarrhea—dual action hits hard (Obesity, 2023).
- Muscle Risk: Fast loss may cut 30% lean mass (Obesity, 2020).
- Dehydration: 25% report thirst—rapid fluid loss.
- Trial Phase: Phase II—long-term data pending.
How VK2735 Differs from Current GLP-1s
Unlike Ozempic (14.9% in 68 weeks, Lancet, 2021), VK2735’s 14.7% in 13 weeks is a speed demon—dual GLP-1/GIP accelerates it.
Compared to Mounjaro (20.9%, 52 weeks, New England Journal of Medicine, 2022), VK2735’s faster but may peak lower.
Versus Rybelsus (8-9%, oral, Diabetes Care, 2020), VK2735’s oral form could outshine—more trials needed.
