Summary

This large Phase 3 trial tested a once-weekly injection called retatrutide in over 2,300 adults with obesity or overweight who do not have type 2 diabetes. The study also looked at how the drug affects knee osteoarthritis and obstructive sleep apnea. Participants received either the drug or a placebo for about 89 weeks, with some continuing for an extra 24 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
retatrutide
What this could lead to
If successful, retatrutide could offer a new once-weekly injection for significant weight loss and improvement in related conditions like knee osteoarthritis and sleep apnea.
What could go wrong
This is a completed Phase 3 trial, but results are not yet published. Weight loss drugs can have side effects like nausea or vomiting, and long-term safety is still being studied.
