FDA PCAC 2026: committee backs six peptides for compounding, rejects Emideltide
On July 23–24, 2026, the FDA's Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee recommended adding six of seven reviewed peptides (BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Epitalon, Semax) to the Section 503A Bulks List and rejected Emideltide/DSIP. The vote is advisory only — not a final FDA decision and not legal authorization to compound. FDA must still complete formal notice-and-comment rulemaking (typically 12–24 months) before any change in legal status.

What’s Happening
Semaglutide’s heart benefits may extend beyond weight loss
New research suggests semaglutide's cardiovascular benefits may occur partly independently of its weight-loss effects. The GLP-1 receptor agonist, known for treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, appears to improve heart health through additional mechanisms. This may broaden its potential use in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Experimental drug reverses multiple sclerosis damage in mouse model
Researchers report that an experimental peptide-based drug reversed myelin damage in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, suggesting a possible repair-focused therapy. The findings come from preclinical work, and human trials have not yet begun. The approach is moving toward clinical translation.
CagriSema bests tirzepatide for weight loss in type 2 diabetes
Novo Nordisk announced topline results showing CagriSema, a fixed-dose combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide, produced greater weight loss than tirzepatide in adults with type 2 diabetes in the REIMAGINE 5 trial (12.4% vs. 9.1% at 60 weeks), while achieving noninferior HbA1c reductions. In the REDEFINE 9 trial, CagriSema led to 21% weight loss at 68 weeks in adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes. These are topline company-announced results from ongoing trial programs.
