Adaptive infusion of a glucagon‐like peptide‐1/glucagon receptor co‐agonist G3215 , in adults with overweight or obesity: Results from a phase 1 randomized clinical trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

An adaptive continuous infusion of the GLP-1/GCGR co-agonist, G3215, is safe and well tolerated offering a unique strategy to control drug exposure. By allowing rapid, response-directed titration, this strategy may allow for mitigation of adverse effects and afford significant weight loss within shorter time horizons than is presently possible with weekly GLP-1R and multi-agonists. These results support ongoing development of G3215 for the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease.

Study context

Population
Adults with overweight or obesity, with or without T2D23 completed
Participants
26 adults
Comparison
14-day continuous SC infusion of glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1R)/GCGR co-agonist G3215 vs placebo
Primary endpoint
Safety and tolerability of continuous infusion of G3215
Methodological detailsphase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled
  • Phase 1
  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Safety and tolerability · 14 days
  • Most common AEs were nausea or vomiting, mild in most cases and mitigated by real-time adjustment of drug infusion
  • No cardiovascular concerns with G3215 infusion

Further findings

Body weight loss · 14 days

P < 0.05

Pharmacokinetics

PK characteristics in keeping with continuous infusion over 14 days

Food consumption, glycaemia, lipids and amino acids

Reduced food consumption with G3215; no deterioration in glycaemia
Improved lipid profile with G3215
Broad reduction in circulating amino acids during infusion, consistent with GCGR activation
