Safety and efficacy of a GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist mazdutide (IBI362) 9 mg and 10 mg in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity: A randomised, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose phase 1b trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mazdutide (also known as IBI362 or LY3305677), a novel once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptor dual agonist, achieved 12-week body weight loss up to 6.4% at doses up to 6 mg in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity. We further explored the safety and efficacy of mazdutide dosed up to 9 mg and 10 mg.

Methods

In this randomised, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose phase 1b trial, we enrolled adults (aged 18-75 years, both inclusive) with overweight (body-mass index [BMI] ≥24 kg/m²) accompanied by hyperphagia and/or at least one obesity-related comorbidity or obesity (BMI ≥28 kg/m²) from five hospitals in China. Eligible participants were randomly assigned (2:1) within each cohort by using an interactive web
