Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A phase 2 study to evaluate the effects of apitegromab as an adjunctive therapy to GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in subjects with overweight or obesity

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study assessed the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of apitegromab when used as an adjunctive therapy to GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in subjects with overweight and obesity and without diabetes. Each subject received tirzepatide throughout the treatment period. In addition, all subjects were randomized 1:1 to receive either apitegromab or placebo during the treatment period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1

Apitegromab + incretin mimetic

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Apitegromab

Intervention Type DRUG

Apitegromab (SRK-015) is a fully human anti-proMyostatin monoclonal antibody (mAb) that specifically binds to human pro/latent myostatin, inhibiting myostatin activation. Apitegromab was administered every 4 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion.

Tirzepatide

Intervention Type DRUG

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide was administered every week by subcutaneous injection.

Cohort 2

Placebo + incretin mimetic

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Same appearance and composition as apitegromab drug product but does not contain the active ingredient. Placebo was administered every 4 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion.

Tirzepatide

Intervention Type DRUG

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Tirzepatide was administered every week by subcutaneous injection.
