Introduction and Objective: In SURPASS-1-4 (SP), baseline factors associated with higher likelihood of achieving body weight (BW) reduction ≥15% at WK 40/42 with tirzepatide (TZP) in participants with T2D were: higher TZP dose, female sex, White or Asian race, metformin use, better glycemic status and lower non-HDL-C. We assessed performance of these predictors in BW reduction ≥15% at WK 48 in SURMOUNT-2 (SM-2), a study of TZP in chronic weight management in adults with T2D with obesity or overweight.

Methods: The multivariate model from SP was run in SM-2 participants who were on TZP at WK 48, ≥75% compliance and no rescue medication during the study treatment period. The AUC (area under curve) of the SM-2 model was calculated to determine its accuracy.

Results: BW reduction ≥15% was achieved in 41.8% (n = 230) participants on TZP at WK 48 and 91.3% (n = 210) sustained BW reduction ≥15% at WK 72. Factors identified in SP that were replicated with respect to the estimated effect size in SM-2: higher TZP dose, female, and lower HbA1c, FSG and non-HDL-C (Table 1). In SM-2, unlike in SP, Asian race and metformin use were not positively associated with BW reduction ≥15%. The AUC was 65.6%.

Conclusion: In the current study there are some consistencies in SM- 2 when applying the SP model. However, the overall performance of the predictors of the model demonstrates a need for refinement.
