Activation of the glucagon receptor with retatrutide is being investigated in a large phase 3 program that includes 14 trials and more than 22,000 participants. Researchers, including Ania Jastreboff, MD, PhD, shared data from two of the trials, TRANSCEND-T2D-1 and TRIUMPH-1.
Klara Klein, MD, PhD, and other researchers shared results from a phase 2, double-blind, randomized study of acmopatide. Study participants also experienced improvements in blood pressure and insulin dosing.
Investigators, including Carel le Roux, MBChB, FRCP, FRCPath, PhD, discussed findings from monotherapy and combination trials with the pancreatic beta cell hormone. “Not only are these weight loss drugs, these are also health-gain drugs,” Dr. le Roux said.
A Scientific Sessions panel shared new data from the VESPER trials. The long half-life of berobenatide makes investigators optimistic about its potential for monthly dosing.
Julio Rosenstock, MD, Francesco Giorgino, MD, PhD, and other panelists will discuss results from the ACHIEVE clinical trials, including ACHIEVE-3, which compared oral semaglutide and orforglipron for use in type 2 diabetes.
Investigators, including John B. Buse, MD, PhD, will discuss new insights from the VESPER program examining berobenatide, an ultra-long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist for weight management.
W. Timothy Garvey, MD, and other researchers will share new insights from trials, such as REDEFINE, exploring long-acting amylin analogs as mono-agonists and in combination with agonists for other hormone receptors.
Investigators will give an overview of new therapies coming into the market. Panelist Donna Ryan, MD, will discuss clinical trials for incretin-based therapies.
Jonathan Campbell, PhD, and other panelists will share new data and address how this triple-hormone receptor agonist may unlock the next frontier of treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Vanita R. Aroda, MD, and Melanie Davies, CBE, MBChB, MD, FRCP, FRCGP, FMedSci, will review the latest data for a novel oral glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist in people living with with type 2 diabetes or overweight or obesity.
