Recently, a phase II multicentre, double-blind, randomized controlled trial including 338 adults with obesity were administered retatrutide (1, 2 mg starting dose increased to 4, 2 mg starting dose increased to 8, 2 mg starting dose increased to 12 mg) compared to placebo over 48 weeks [64]
Weight Loss Outcomes: 1.25 mg dose (20 weeks): 9.7% weight loss 5 mg dose (28 weeks): 16.2% weight loss 20 mg dose (36 weeks): 22.0% weight loss In contrast, placebo-treated participants showed minor weight gains of 1.9%, 2.3%, and 2.0% over the same periods
