Frequently asked questions about Levothyroxine

What is Levothyroxine?

Levothyroxine is a small molecule drug developed by Viatris Inc. (ticker VTRS). It is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine, used as replacement therapy in conditions where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone. The specific indication for this product is undisclosed.

How does Levothyroxine work?

Levothyroxine works as an agonist at the thyroid hormone receptors THRA and THRB. By binding to and activating these nuclear receptors, it mimics the action of endogenous thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth, and development. This mechanism underlies its use as hormone replacement therapy.

Who makes Levothyroxine?

Levothyroxine is developed by Viatris Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol VTRS. Viatris is the company responsible for the development and manufacture of this particular levothyroxine sodium tablet product.

What phase is Levothyroxine in?

Levothyroxine is in Phase 1 clinical development. The two registered trials for this product are both Phase 1 studies, and both have been completed. No active trials are currently listed, and the drug has not been approved by the FDA for the undisclosed indication.

What clinical trials is Levothyroxine in?

Levothyroxine has been studied in two completed Phase 1 trials: NCT00648882, which compared levothyroxine sodium 300 mcg tablets to Synthroid 300 mcg tablets in 33 healthy volunteers, and NCT00648557, which compared the 200 mg tablets to Synthroid 200 mg in 32 healthy volunteers. Both were active-controlled fasting studies conducted in the United States.
