Key clinical point: Once-weekly efpeglenatide vs placebo led to significant improvements in glycemic control and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with a safety profile similar to that of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist.
Major finding: At 30 weeks, 2 mg efpeglenatide (least squares mean difference [LSM] 0.5%; P = .0054), 4 mg (LSM 0.8%; P < .0001), and 6 mg (LSM 1.0%; P < .0001) vs placebo led to a significantly greater reduction in glycated hemoglobin levels, with a significant reduction in body weight with 4 and 6 mg efpeglenatide (both P < .05).
Study details: The data come from the AMPLITUDE-M trial including 406 patients with T2D inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone who were randomly assigned to receive efpeglenatide (n = 304) or placebo (n = 102).
Disclosures: This study was initially sponsored by Sanofi and thereafter, the sponsorship was transferred to Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Some authors reported serving as advisory board members or speakers and receiving research support from various organizations, including Sanofi. The other authors are employees of and hold stocks in Sanofi or Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co.
