Type 2 & other diabetes

Once‐daily oral small‐molecule glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist lotiglipron (PF‐07081532) for type 2 diabetes and obesity: Two randomized, placebo‐controlled, multiple‐ascending‐dose Phase 1 studies

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

The profile of once-daily lotiglipron with doses up to 180 mg, as observed in these two Phase 1 studies, indicated a safety and tolerability profile consistent with the mechanism of action, with dose-dependent reductions in glycaemic indices (T2D) and body weight (both populations) after multiple doses.

Change from baseline in HbA1c (T2D, 180-mg dose) · 42 daysLeast squares mean, %−1.61 (90% CI −2.08–-1.14)−0.61 (90% CI −1.56–0.34)

  • Change from baseline in HbA1c (T2D, 180-mg dose): 180-mg dose
  • Change from baseline in body weight (T2D, 180-mg dose): 180-mg dose

Change from baseline in body weight (T2D, 180-mg dose) · 42 days

Similar magnitude of weight loss in participants with obesity

Safety

Most adverse events were mild
89.6%
Nausea the most frequently reported in both studies
No clinically meaningful adverse trends in safety laboratory tests, vital signs or ECG parameters
