Introduction and Objective: This trial (NCT06525935) evaluated the efficacy, safety, and dose-response of CT-388 in participants (pts) with overweight/obesity without T2D. Methods: This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial which enrolled pts with BMI ≥30 kg/m² or BMI ≥27kg/m² with ≥1 obesity-related conditions, of whom 467 were randomized (1:1:1:1:1:1) to treatment with once-weekly subcutaneous CT-388 (target doses: 4, 8, 12, 16, or 24 mg) or volume-matched placebo (Pbo) for 48 weeks. Primary endpoint was % WL from baseline (BL) to Week (W) 48, analyzed using a mixed model for repeated measures based on an ‘efficacy’ estimand. Results: Pts in the study had a mean (SD) age of 49 (13.1) years, BMI of 38 (6.9) kg/m²; 71% were White, 68% women and ~50% had prediabetes (per ADA). Figure shows WL (%) effect of CT-388 vs Pbo. With CT-388 (24 mg) at W48: no WL plateau was observed, 95.7% of pts achieved ≥5% WL, 87.0% ≥10% WL, 47.8% ≥20% WL, and 26.1% ≥30% WL. Among pts with prediabetes at BL, 73% of CT-388 24 mg achieved normoglycemia (vs 7.5% on Pbo). The rate of treatment discontinuations from adverse events were low. GI events were the most frequent. Conclusion: CT-388 demonstrated clinically meaningful, statistically significant dose-dependent WL of up to 22.7% (W48) and safety/tolerability profile consistent with the incretin class.
