ZT-01 aims to restore glucagon counterregulation during hypoglycaemia. But type 1 diabetes already produces glucagon at the wrong time — and Zucara’s own human data show SSTR2 blockade raises glucagon, glucose and insulin requirements during euglycaemia. What will the trials tell us about its longer term effects?

A year of measuring these models says the clinical risk is much the same in all three. The regulatory position is not, and the intuition about which is safest runs backwards.
