Kailera is also developing a once-daily oral formulation of ribupatide, KAI-7535 (an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist in Phase 2), and KAI-4729 (a once-weekly injectable GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor tri-agonist approaching Phase 1). The company's product candidates are licensed from Hengrui Pharma, which conducts parallel clinical programs primarily in China.
