Evaluation of an oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, lotiglipron, for type 2 diabetes and obesity: A dose-ranging, phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The aim was to investigate the effects of lotiglipron, a once-daily, oral small-molecule glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or obesity.

Materials and methods

A phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging study investigated the efficacy and safety of lotiglipron. The study was terminated early for safety reasons after routine data and monitoring review. The planned analyses for the end points were modified prior to unblinding the study.

Results

In total, 901 participants were treated with at least one dose of the study drug (T2D cohort: n = 512, obesity cohort: n = 389). Although the majority of participants who were randomly assigned to higher doses did not reach their target mainten
