Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new medication called LY3305677 to help adults who are obese or overweight manage their weight. The study will last over a year. Researchers want to see if this medication helps people lose weight and if it is safe to use.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that participants with hypertension should be on a stable antihypertensive regimen for at least 3 months prior to screening, suggesting that you may need to continue certain medications.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on medication for high blood pressure, it should be stable for at least 3 months before joining the study.

What data supports the idea that LY3305677 for Obesity is an effective drug?

The available research shows that LY3305677, also known as mazdutide, is effective in helping people lose weight. In a study with Chinese adults who were overweight or had obesity, those who took the drug for 24 weeks lost between 6.7% and 11.3% of their body weight, depending on the dose. In contrast, those who took a placebo, which is a dummy treatment with no active drug, only lost 1% of their body weight. This suggests that LY3305677 is much more effective than not taking any active treatment. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug LY3305677 for obesity?

Research shows that mazdutide (also known as LY3305677) helped people with obesity lose significant weight over 24 weeks, with reductions up to 11.3% in body weight compared to a 1% increase with a placebo. This suggests that LY3305677 is effective in promoting weight loss in people with obesity. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What safety data is available for the obesity treatment LY3305677 (Mazdutide)?

Mazdutide (LY3305677) has been evaluated in clinical trials for its safety and efficacy in treating obesity. In a phase 1b trial, doses up to 9 mg and 10 mg were explored, while a phase 2 trial assessed doses up to 6 mg. The trials reported that mazdutide was well tolerated, with common adverse events including diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection. Overall, the treatment was considered safe and led to significant weight reduction in participants. ^{1 2 5 6 7}

Is LY3305677 (Mazdutide) safe for humans?

Mazdutide (also known as LY3305677) has been tested in clinical trials for obesity and was generally well tolerated. Common side effects included diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infections, but overall, it was considered safe for use in humans. ^{1 2 5 6 7}

Is the drug LY3305677 a promising treatment for obesity?

Yes, LY3305677, also known as mazdutide, is a promising drug for obesity. In studies, it helped people lose a significant amount of weight, with some losing up to 11.3% of their body weight over 24 weeks. This shows that it can be an effective option for weight management. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What makes the drug LY3305677 unique for treating obesity?

LY3305677, also known as mazdutide, is unique because it is a once-weekly dual agonist that targets both the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptors, which helps in reducing body weight by increasing energy expenditure and reducing calorie intake. This dual action is different from many existing treatments that typically target only one receptor. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Findings from Research

Mazdutide, a dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, was well tolerated in a phase 1b trial with 24 participants, showing no serious adverse events and only mild to moderate treatment-emergent adverse events.

Participants receiving mazdutide experienced significant weight loss, with a mean reduction of 11.7% at 12 weeks for the 9 mg dose and 9.5% at 16 weeks for the 10 mg dose, compared to much smaller reductions in the placebo groups.

In a 24-week study involving 248 overweight or obese adults in China, mazdutide, a dual GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, resulted in significant weight loss, with reductions of up to 11.3% compared to a 1.0% increase in the placebo group.

Mazdutide was well tolerated across all doses, with common side effects including diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory infections, indicating a favorable safety profile for this treatment.

IBI362, a dual agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptors, was found to be well tolerated in a phase 1b study with 36 Chinese adults, showing no serious adverse events and only mild gastrointestinal issues as common side effects.

Participants receiving IBI362 experienced significant weight loss, with reductions of approximately 4.81% to 6.40% in body weight over 12 weeks, compared to a minimal change of 0.60% in the placebo group.

Weight loss through diet and exercise can significantly improve glycaemic control in early type 2 diabetes, and pharmacological options like sibutramine and thiazolidinediones are being explored for managing obesity in diabetic patients.

Thiazolidinediones, such as troglitazone, improve insulin resistance but have safety concerns, including severe liver injury, while newer agents like rosiglitazone and pioglitazone show promise with better safety profiles and are effective in combination therapies.
