Abstract

Tirzepatide (TZP) is a novel dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist in development for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Efficacy and safety of TZP vs. placebo (PBO) was assessed in people with T2D inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone. In this double-blind, PBO-controlled, 40-wk Phase 3 study, people with T2D (N=478; mean baseline [BL] HbA1c 7.94%; age 54.1 y; T2D duration 4.7 y; BMI 31.9 kg/m2) were randomized (1:1:1:1) to TZP (5, 10, 15 mg) or PBO. Primary efficacy measure was mean change in HbA1c from BL at 40 wk. Secondary measures were mean change in fasting serum glucose (FSG) and body weight (BW) and proportion achieving HbA1c and BW goals. TZP 5, 10 and 15 mg were superior to PBO in mean change in HbA1c at 40 wk (LSM treatment difference [95% CI]: -1.91% [-2.18, -1.63], -1.93% [-2.21, -1.65], -2.11% [-2.39, -1.83]; p In conclusion, TZP as T2D monotherapy demonstrated robust clinically meaningful reductions in HbA1c and BW without hypoglycemia (BG Disclosure J.
