Insulin icodec (INN/USAN) is an ultralong-acting basal insulin analogue that was developed by Novo Nordisk under the brand name Aweeqli. It has completed Phase 3 trials[1] and has been submitted for regulatory review in the US, Canada, Europe, China, Australia, Switzerland and Brazil.[2] The first decisions are anticipated in H1 2024. It is administered via subcutaneous injection once weekly to help control the blood sugar level of those with diabetes.

It has a plasma half-life more than eight days[3] (compared to 25 hours of the previous longest-acting insulin analogue insulin degludec), making it a once-weekly basal insulin.[4] The substance is composed of two peptide chains, linked by a disulfide bridge. In addition the 21 amino acid residue chain has two internal disulfide bridges and the second chain is 29 residues long.

Glycemic control was non-inferior with once-weekly insulin icodec compared with once-daily insulin glargine U100. (Funded by Novo Nordisk; ONWARDS 1 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04460885. opens in new tab.)
