Short answer

No. A paper on the late-stage trial programme calls it a novel synthetic molecule.[1]

A perspective paper says it exemplifies rational multi-agonist peptide engineering.[2]

A review describes it as a first-in-class unimolecular triple hormone receptor agonist: one engineered molecule rather than a mix of hormones.[3]
