Events after the reporting period

Positive results announced in Boehringer Ingelheim Phase 2 clinical trial for survodutide in MASH and private placement of shares to institutional investors contribute to extended cash runway into 2027

Copenhagen, Denmark, February 27, 2024 - Zealand Pharma A/S (Nasdaq: ZEAL) (CVR-no. 20045078), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based medicines, today announced the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023, and provided a corporate update.

Building momentum in 2024

"2023 was an extraordinary year for Zealand and I am proud of our team's performance to progress our business," said Adam Steensberg, President and Chief Executive Officer at Zealand Pharma. "With the promising results for our long-acting amylin analog, petrelintide, and the advancement of our dual GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist, dapiglutide, in obesity, Zealand is well positioned to achieve significant milestones in 2024. We look forward to important clinical results for petrelintide and dapiglutide in obesity that we believe will support advancing both compounds into subsequent Phase 2b trials, and to progressing our rare disease product candidates through the regulatory phase to patients who need them."

Recent R&D highlights and key events anticipated in 2024

Obesity - advancing the portfolio

Petrelintide, a long-acting amylin analog. At Obesity Week in November 2023, Zealand presented results from Part 1 of the Phase 1b MAD trial (NCT05613387), in which low doses of up to 1.2 mg petrelintide administered once weekly for six weeks led to reductions in body weight of up to 5.3% in healthy lean and overweight participants (mean body weight of 82 kg and BMI of 25.4). Petrelintide was well tolerated in the trial with a mostly mild adverse event profile. In the first half of 2024, Zealand expects to report topline results from Part 2 of the MAD trial designed to evaluate higher doses of petrelintide administered for 16 weeks in participants with overweight or obesity (eligible BMI 27.0-39.9). In parallel, Zealand is planning a Phase 2b trial of petrelintide planned for initiation in the second half of 2024.
Dapiglutide, a first-in-class GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor dual agonist: In the first half of 2024, Zealand anticipates topline results from the Phase 2a investigator-led DREAM trial (NCT05788601) designed to evaluate the potential for weight loss following 12 weeks of treatment with dapiglutide and gain key mechanistic insights into effects on inflammatory markers. In the second half of 2024, Zealand expects topline results from the Phase 1b 13-week dose titration trial (NCT06000891) designed to evaluate dapiglutide in otherwise healthy participants with overweight or obesity (eligible BMI 27.0-39.9). In this trial, higher maximum maintenance doses are planned than were used in the prior 4-week MAD trial and ongoing DREAM trial.
Survodutide, a glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist. In February 2024, Boehringer Ingelheim and Zealand Pharma announced positive results from the Phase 2 trial of survodutide in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), previously known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The topline results showed that up to 83.0% of adults treated with survodutide achieved a biopsy-proven improvement in MASH (stages F1, F2 and F3) after 48 weeks, versus 18.2% with placebo [response difference: 64.8% (CI 51.1% - 78.6%), p-value (p<0.0001)]. Boehringer expects to present these results at a scientific congress in the first half of 2024. In a Phase 2 trial in people living with overweight or obesity, survodutide achieved up to 18.7% mean weight loss from baseline after 46 weeks. The full data were presented at the 2023 American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 83rd Scientific Sessions. Boehringer is currently evaluating survodutide in Phase 3 clinical trials, including SYNCHRONIZE™-1 and SYNCHRONIZE™-2, enrolling people living with overweight or obesity without and with type 2 diabetes, respectively, and SYNCHRONIZE™-CVOT, a long-term cardiovascular safety trial in people living with overweight or obesity with cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease or with risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Rare diseases - progressing towards patients

Dasiglucagon in congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). In the first half of 2024, Zealand expects to resubmit the New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention and treatment of hypoglycemia in pediatric patients seven days of age and older with CHI for up to three weeks of dosing. The resubmission is in response to a Complete Response Letter issued by the FDA in December 2023 related to deficiencies identified at a third-party manufacturing facility that are not specific to dasiglucagon. Also in the first half of 2024, to support use of dasiglucagon beyond three weeks, the company plans to submit additional analyses, requested by the FDA, from existing continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) datasets that were included as a secondary outcome measure in the Phase 3 program. Zealand plans to make dasiglucagon available to healthcare professionals and patients upon regulatory approval and expects to identify a partner for future commercialization.
Glepaglutide in short bowel syndrome (SBS). In December 2023, Zealand submitted an NDA to the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adult patients with SBS dependent on parenteral support. The company expects to receive notification of a PDUFA date in the coming weeks following acceptance of the filing. Zealand anticipates identifying a partner for future commercialization of glepaglutide.

Chronic inflammation - initiating first-in-human trials

ZP10068, Complement Inhibitor. As part of the discovery and development collaboration with Alexion, Zealand has completed pre-clinical and CMC activities for the investigational long-acting complement inhibitor. Subsequent regulatory, clinical and development efforts will be led and conducted by Alexion.
ZP9830, Kv1.3 Ion Channel Blocker. Zealand expects to initiate first-in-human clinical trials in 2024.

Conference call today at 2 PM CET / 8 AM ET

Zealand's management will host a conference call today at 2:00 PM CET / 8:00 AM ET to present results for the full year 2023 followed by a Q&A session. Participating in the call will be Chief Executive Officer, Adam Steensberg; Chief Financial Officer, Henriette Wennicke; and Chief Medical Officer, David Kendall.
