Type 2 & other diabetes

Safety/tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of 600‐μg cotadutide in Japanese type 2 diabetes patients with a body mass index of 25 kg/m 2 or higher: A phase I, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Cotadutide was well tolerated at doses up to 600 μg; efficacy versus placebo for weight loss and glycaemic control was shown.

Significantly improved 7-day mean glucose with cotadutide
