About MariTide
MariTide (AMG 133) is a GIP receptor antagonist / GLP-1 receptor agonist fusion molecule developed by Amgen with a monthly dosing interval — the longest injection interval of any obesity therapeutic in development. Phase II data showed 20% weight loss at 52 weeks. Its monthly convenience and potent efficacy position it as a potential market disruptor if Phase III results confirm Phase II findings.
Science
Mechanism of Action
Simultaneously blocks GIP receptors (antagonism, unlike tirzepatide's agonism) and activates GLP-1 receptors; the GIP antagonism enhances GLP-1-mediated weight loss through incompletely understood mechanisms involving adipose tissue and CNS receptor cross-talk.
Dosing
Typical Protocol
Monthly subcutaneous injection; Phase II dose range not disclosed; Phase III initiated 2024.

Regulatory
Legal Status in 2026
This compound occupies a regulatory grey area in 2026. It is neither explicitly FDA-approved nor clearly illegal for personal use, but it lacks formal clinical approval and may not be legally sold for human use in all contexts. Proceed with caution: source quality is variable, and regulatory status can change. Always consult a physician.
Evidence
Evidence Tier
Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or large observational studies in humans. This is the gold standard — effects have been measured in controlled conditions and results are peer-reviewed and reproducible.
