How different levels of liraglutide 3.0 mg relate to weight loss

AI simplified

Abstract

Weight loss increased with greater exposure to liraglutide 3.0 mg.

  • The relationship between drug exposure and weight loss was evident, leveling off at higher doses for most individuals.
  • Men did not exhibit a full plateau in weight loss response at the highest exposures.
  • In individuals with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes, a clear relationship was observed between liraglutide exposure and reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c).
  • HbA1c reduction increased with higher plasma liraglutide concentrations, plateauing around 21 nM, but did not fully plateau for those with baseline HbA1c levels above 8.5%.
  • No significant exposure-response relationship was found for safety outcomes, aside from gastrointestinal adverse events.
