About
Carmot Therapeutics was a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing life-changing therapeutics for people living with metabolic diseases including obesity and type 2 diabetes. The company's pipeline included CT-388 (a once-weekly injectable dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist), CT-868 (dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist in Phase 2 for obesity/T1D), and CT-996 (an oral small molecule GLP-1 receptor agonist). Carmot's drug candidates were designed as biased agonists that activate cAMP signaling with minimal beta-arrestin recruitment, expected to yield prolonged pharmacological activity and strong tolerability. The company was acquired by Roche in January 2024 for $2.7 billion upfront ($3.1 billion total) and is now operated as part of Roche/Genentech's obesity and diabetes pipeline.
