Summary: Non-incretin-based therapeutics represent an important clinical option for patients with obesity and other metabolic disorders. CB1 is a clinically validated G protein-coupled receptor target that plays a key role in energy homeostasis. There is growing consensus that peripheral inhibition of CB1 can safely modulate metabolic parameters, leading to meaningful weight loss. This presentation will highlight recent preclinical data that underscores key mechanisms supporting the therapeutic potential of Skye’s antibody-based peripherally- restricted CB1 inhibitor, nimacimab, including in vitro systems and in vivo diet-induced obesity models, both alone and in combination with incretin-based drugs like tirzepatide.
