In a phase 2 clinical study of mazdutide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04965506), mazdutide was well tolerated and the overall safety profile was similar to other GLP-1 class drugs.

Key Points: 
  • In a phase 2 clinical study of mazdutide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04965506), mazdutide was well tolerated and the overall safety profile was similar to other GLP-1 class drugs.
  • In the study, mazdutide reduced blood pressure, blood lipids and liver enzyme levels, offering metabolic benefits to subjects.
  • The phase 2 clinical study in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes showed significant glucose-lowering efficacy of mazdutide, and it also showed the potential superiority of mazdutide to dulaglutide in weight-loss efficacy.
  • As a promising example of GLP-1 dual-target drugs, mazdutide has been extensively researched and developed in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
