Key Points

  • This research investigates the tolerability and efficacy of GL0034, a new glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in overweight and obese adults with type 2 diabetes.
  • Participants were randomized to receive GL0034 once weekly in two different dose escalation regimens or placebo over 16 weeks.
  • A double-blind, placebo-controlled design was utilized to assess outcomes primarily through gastrointestinal symptom scores and metabolic parameters.
  • GL0034 significantly reduced body weight and improved glycemic control compared to placebo.
  • The incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events was comparable between the two GL0034 cohorts, although cohort 1 had a numerically higher symptom score.
  • Efficacy results were not significantly different between the two GL0034 cohorts.

Abstract

Introduction and Objective: We present interim data from a double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigating tolerability and efficacy of GL0034, a novel glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, in T2DM on metformin and/or an SGLT2-inhibitor. A symptom score was used to evaluate gastrointestinal adverse events (GI AEs). Methods: Participants were randomized to receive GL0034 once weekly in two different dose escalation regimens (table) or placebo over 16 weeks. Results: GL0034 was well tolerated with similar numbers of GI AEs with both dose escalation regimens, but a numerically higher symptom score in cohort 1 (Table). The incidence of all treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) was comparable between the cohorts. During the relatively short treatment period of 16 weeks, GL0034 significantly reduced body weight and improved glycemic control versus placebo as indicated by reductions in HbA1c, mean daily self-monitored plasma glucose (SMPG), peak glucose concentration after a liquid meal test and waist circumference. Efficacy results were not significantly different between the two GL0034 cohorts. Conclusion: GL0034 was well tolerated with two different dose-escalation regimens with maximum doses of 2.4 and 3.0 mg/week and led to pronounced improvements in body weight and glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes.
