Abstract

The overall mean weight change was -11.1 kg (-11.7%) with in adults with /MASH.

  • Weight loss with semaglutide was significantly greater than with placebo, which resulted in a mean weight change of -0.7 kg (-0.6%).
  • Individuals without type 2 diabetes experienced a numerically higher weight loss with semaglutide compared to those with type 2 diabetes or pre-type 2 diabetes.
  • Estimated treatment differences for weight loss with semaglutide compared to placebo were similar across groups: type 2 diabetes (-10.2 kg), pre-type 2 diabetes (-9.8 kg), and no diabetes (-11.6 kg).
  • No statistically significant differences in weight loss were observed between the diabetes status groups (p > 0.50 for all).
  • Baseline metabolic parameters, including fasting plasma glucose and insulin levels, did not correlate with weight change.
