What Berobenatide is
An ultra-long-acting GLP-1 agonist with a roughly 15-day half-life built for once-monthly injection, the centerpiece of Pfizer's Metsera acquisition and now heading into ten Phase 3 trials.
Berobenatide uses an albumin-binding 'halo-lipidation' design that stretches the half-life of a fully biased GLP-1 receptor agonist to about 360 hours. 3% placebo-adjusted loss at week 28 with no plateau.
Mechanism: Long-acting GLP-1 receptor agonism (appetite suppression, slowed gastric emptying) with an engineered half-life that allows weekly induction followed by monthly dosing.
Regulatory history: Investigational; Phase 3 program planned 2026
How MHRA treats this kind of product
Licenses medicines for the UK market. A compound without a marketing authorisation is an unlicensed medicine, which can only lawfully be supplied for human use through a prescriber under the specials scheme, not sold as a research product.
The classification above is the The Longevity Archive reading of Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency listings for Berobenatide at the reviewed date, not a legal opinion. Rules change, and importing, prescribing and possessing a compound can each be treated differently. Check the regulator directly before acting on anything here.
