Experimental fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analogs can improve lipid profiles in patients with metabolic diseases. However, their effects on markers of insulin sensitivity appear to be minimal, potentially because of insufficient exposure. Systemic drug levels vary from sub-pharmacological to demonstrating pharmacodynamic effects but with dose-limiting adverse events. Here we report results from a phase 1 multiple ascending dose study of AKR-001, an Fc-FGF21 fusion protein engineered for sustained systemic pharmacologic exp
