Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Once-weekly BGM0504 was associated with substantial dose-dependent weight loss and acceptable tolerability in Chinese adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes

Clinically meaningful weight loss

Proportions achieving clinically meaningful weight loss increased dose-dependently across BGM0504 groups vs placebo

Pharmacokinetics

Approximately linear dose-exposure relationship across the evaluated dose range

Safety

Drug-related adverse events

Other safety results

Serious adverse event in the 10 mg group
One
Most common selected TEAEs were gastrointestinal (nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting)
No TEAEs led to trial withdrawal
