- The table below includes an overview of the entire GLP-1 agonist competitive landscape, including mono-agonists (injectable and oral), dual agonists, and tri-agonists. It includes all the companies we are aware of with GLP-1 based agonists in development, though we acknowledge that it may be incomplete. We will continuously update the table as timelines change. Glucagon formulations under development for hypoglycemia rescue or for use in pumps can be found in our glucagon competitive landscape.
