Charlie Haywood's questions to Zealand Pharma A/S/ADR (ZLDPF) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Charlie Haywood of Bank of America asked about the company's vision for patient 'stay time' on petrelintide monotherapy and its ambitions for future R&D in the cardiometabolic space beyond the current pipeline.
Answer
CEO Adam Steensberg stated a much higher ambition for treatment duration than the ~7 months seen with GLP-1s, driven by petrelintide's superior tolerability profile for long-term maintenance. Regarding the pipeline, he confirmed significant new investments are planned and pointed to the December Capital Markets Day for a full vision, highlighting the Kv1.3 program as an example of future opportunities.
