GUBamy

GUB014295 (GUBamy), long-acting amylin analogue

Written by Reviewed Sep 2026

Also known as: GUB014295

A long-acting amylin analogue from Gubra with one completed phase 1 trial of 76 people sponsored by AbbVie. No result from that trial, and no other human or animal data, has been published; PubMed holds zero records for the compound. Weight loss figures circulating for it could not be traced to any primary source.

Overview

GUB014295, referred to as GUBamy in its originator's communications, is a long-acting analogue of amylin, the pancreatic hormone co-secreted with insulin that slows gastric emptying, suppresses glucagon and promotes satiety. It was discovered by the Danish company Gubra. The one registered clinical trial lists AbbVie as lead sponsor. It belongs to the same class as cagrilintide, petrelintide and eloralintide, all of which now have published human data. GUBamy does not.

What exists is a single registry record. NCT06144684 is a two-part, single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled first-in-human study conducted in the United Kingdom: single ascending doses in lean to overweight or obese but otherwise healthy men, then multiple ascending doses in men and women. It began on 29 November 2023, completed on 5 January 2026 with 76 participants enrolled, and its primary outcomes are safety measures: adverse event incidence, vital signs and laboratory values. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics are secondary. No results have been posted on the registry. A PubMed search for GUBamy or GUB014295 on 11 September 2026 returned no records at all, and none of three 2026 reviews of the amylin drug class names it in its abstract.

The honest content of this page is therefore short: the mechanism of the class, the sponsor, one completed 76 person phase 1 with safety endpoints, and the statement that no efficacy data of any kind have been published. Weight loss percentages attributed to GUBamy appear on some commercial peptide websites. They could not be traced to any trial record, publication, conference abstract or regulatory document and they are not reproduced here.

Mechanism of action

Amylin acts on receptors formed by the calcitonin receptor paired with receptor activity modifying proteins, in the hindbrain area postrema and elsewhere, to slow gastric emptying, suppress post-meal glucagon secretion and reduce food intake by promoting meal termination. Native amylin aggregates and lasts minutes; long-acting analogues are engineered to resist aggregation and to bind albumin or carry a lipid chain so that they can be dosed weekly. Some agents in the class are selective for amylin receptors and others also activate the calcitonin receptor directly; which GUB014295 is has not been stated in any primary source located for this profile, so it is described only as its trial record describes it, a long-acting amylin analogue. Nothing specific to GUB014295's mechanism, receptor pharmacology, half-life or pharmacodynamics in people or animals has been published.

Human evidence

One completed phase 1 safety study in 76 healthy, overweight or obese volunteers, sponsored by AbbVie, with no results posted or published. No human efficacy data exist in any public source.

  • NCT06144684: 76 participants, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single and multiple ascending doses, completed January 2026. Primary outcomes safety only. Results not posted.

What this does not tell you: Nothing can be said about efficacy, tolerability, dose, half-life or weight effect in people, because nothing has been reported. A phase 1 trial with safety primary endpoints was not designed to demonstrate weight loss even if its data were public. Any specific number attached to GUBamy in circulation is unsourced.

Reading the research record

GUBamy's record is thin for an ordinary reason: it is early. A first-in-human study completed in January 2026 and results from such studies typically appear at conferences and in journals over the following one to two years, if the sponsor chooses to publish. AbbVie's sponsorship of a Gubra compound places it inside a large company's pipeline, where disclosure is governed by commercial timing rather than by scientific completion.

The reason this page exists despite the empty record is the numbers that circulate without it. Commercial peptide websites attach weight loss percentages to GUBamy. The research for this profile checked PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov and three 2026 class reviews that surveyed press releases and congress abstracts, and found no source for any such figure. Until a trial result is posted or published, the correct statement about GUBamy's efficacy is that none has been reported, and a reader who encounters a percentage should ask where it came from.

No human dose response curve exists

We draw this figure where the data supports it. For this compound in humans it does not, so the panel stays empty rather than borrowing an animal curve and implying it transfers.

Awaiting a dose ranging studyProducing one takes a trial that gives different amounts to different groups and measures the difference. Nobody has funded that for this compound.

Frequently asked questions

What is GUBamy?

GUB014295, a long-acting amylin analogue discovered by Gubra, in the same class as cagrilintide and petrelintide. Its one clinical trial, a phase 1 in 76 volunteers, lists AbbVie as sponsor. It is investigational and not approved anywhere.

How much weight loss does it produce?

No published or posted result answers that. The only trial completed in January 2026 with safety as its primary outcome and has posted no results. Percentages attributed to GUBamy on commercial websites could not be traced to any trial record, publication, abstract or regulatory document.

Is there any published research on it?

Not under either name. A PubMed search for GUBamy or GUB014295 on 11 September 2026 returned zero records, and none of three 2026 reviews of the amylin drug class names it in its abstract. The ClinicalTrials.gov record is the only primary source.
