Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In obese Chinese adults without diabetes, once-daily subcutaneous noiiglutide significantly reduced body week at week 24 compared with placebo, and had a manageable safety profile, primarily involving gastrointestinal disorders.
