ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND & AIMS:
Cotadutide, a peptide co-agonist at the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon (GCG) receptors, has demonstrated robust improvements in body weight, glycemia, and hepatic fat fraction (HFF) in patients living with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.METHODS:
In PROXYMO, a 19-week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial, the safety and efficacy of cotadutide (600 µg, 300 µg) or placebo were evaluated in 74 participants with biopsy-proven noncirrhotic metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis. Analyses were performed using intent-to-treat and modified intent-to-treat population data.RESULTS:
Dose- and time-dependent improvements in HFF, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), markers of liver health, and metabolic parameters were observed with significant improvements after 19 weeks with 600 µg ([least squares] mean difference vs placebo, [95% confidence interval] for absolute HFF -5.0% [-8.5 to -1.5]; ALT -23.5 U/L [-47.1 to -1.8]; AST -16.8 U/L [-33.0 to -0.8]). Incidences of any grade treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were 91.7%, 76.9%, and 37.5% with cotadutide 600 µg, 300 µg, and placebo, respectively. The majority were gastrointestinal, mild to moderate in severity, and generally consistent with other incretins at this stage of development. TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation were 16.7%, 7.7%, and 4.2% with cotadutide 600 µg, 300 µg, and placebo, respectively.CONCLUSIONS:
PROXYMO provides preliminary evidence for the safety and efficacy of GLP-1/GCG receptor co-agonism in biopsy-proven noncirrhotic MASH with fibrosis, supporting further evaluation of this mechanism in MASH. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04019561.Palabras clave
