Sustained weight loss of ≥5% is highly beneficial in T2D. Here we assess the time spent with weight loss ≥5% in participants with T2D randomized to the GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist tirzepatide (TZP) vs comparators in SURPASS 1-5.
Participants were randomized to TZP (5, 10, or 15 mg) or comparator (placebo in SURPASS 1 and 5, semaglutide (SEMA) 1 mg in SURPASS 2, insulin degludec in SURPASS 3, and insulin glargine in SURPASS 4) with primary treatment durations of 40 or 52 weeks (wks). Continuous time spent with weight loss ≥5% was descriptively analyzed in all participants on treatment without rescue medication, with missing data imputed in this post-hoc analysis.
In SURPASS 1-5, 54-88% of T2D participants randomized to all doses of TZP achieved body weight loss of ≥5%. TZP-treated participants experienced longer time with weight loss ≥5% than those randomized to comparators (Table 1). TZP dose-dependently increased time spent with weight loss ≥5% with the greatest durations observed in the 15 mg group (median: 24 and 40 wks in studies of 40 and 52 wks duration, respectively). Whereas, in the SURPASS 2 trial, those randomized to SEMA 1 mg spent a median of 10 weeks with weight loss ≥5%.
In conclusion, TZP led to a longer continuous time spent with weight loss ≥5% compared with placebo, SEMA 1 mg, and basal insulins in participants with T2D.
