EL-22 is a novel myostatin asset aimed at preserving muscle while on weight loss treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists. This submission is a crucial step in advancing the drug candidate towards clinical development.

A pre-IND meeting with the FDA is expected in Q2 2025 to discuss nonclinical studies and Northstrive Biosciences’ clinical development plans for EL-22. The company aims to evaluate EL-22 administered in combination with GLP-1 receptor agonists in obese patients.
