Retatrutide, a GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptor agonist, for people with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, double-blind, placebo and active-controlled, parallel-group, phase 2 trial conducted in the USA
PMID: 37385280 2023 RCT (phase 2, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, parallel-group) n = 281
Finding: Dose-dependent reduction in HbA1c and body weight. At 24 weeks, HbA1c fell by approximately 1.4-2.0 percentage points across retatrutide doses vs ~0.0 for placebo and ~1.4 for dulaglutide; substantial weight loss accompanied higher doses (mean ~ -16.9% at 12 mg by 24 weeks). GI adverse events were the most common and dose-related.
🟢 High quality Effect size: HbA1c reduction up to ~2.0 percentage points and body-weight reduction up to ~16.9% at higher doses by 24 weeks
