Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

This study of HM15136 provides a preliminary safety and tolerability profile with initial insights into its efficacy profile.

Study context

Population
Overweight/obese patients with dyslipidaemia and/or hypertension; part 1 without T2D, part 2 with T2D
Comparison
Once-weekly subcutaneous HM15136 vs placebo for 12 weeks
Primary endpoint
Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
Follow-up
12-week treatment period
Methodological detailsphase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-part, multiple ascending doses
  • Phase 1
  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Two-part
  • Multiple ascending doses

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

TEAE, part 1

Further findings

TEAE, part 2 (T2D)

  • Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), part 2 (T2D): HM15136 n=12; placebo n=4

Weight reduction, part 1

Dose-dependent weight reduction at 0.02/0.04/0.06 mg/kg
0.5%/2.3%/2.6%
Dose-dependent increases in mean HM15136 serum concentration and fasting plasma glucose (FPG)

Weight reduction, part 2

Weight reduction with 0.02 mg/kg
0.9%
Dose-dependent increases in mean HM15136 serum concentration

Safety

Anti-HM15136 antibodies

Part 1, HM15136
5/27 (18.5%)
Part 2
2 (16.7%)

FPG >200 mg/dL, part 2

0.02 mg/kg
4/9 (44.4%)
0.06 mg/kg
2/3 (66.7%)
0.06 mg/kg not tolerated in part 2 due to hyperglycaemia

Serious TEAEs leading to discontinuation

No serious TEAEs leading to discontinuation in either part
