- Retatrutide is a peptide that acts as a triple agonist, meaning it stimulates three types of receptors: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), and glucagon receptors (GCGR).
- It is being developed for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- It may also help with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (NAFLD) by reducing liver fat.
- By activating all three receptors, retatrutide targets weight loss, improves glycemic control, and can offer cardiovascular benefits.
- It is in Phase III clinical development, following successful Phase II trials.
- The Phase II trial results showed significant weight reductions in obese and overweight adults, with an average loss of up to 24.4% at 48 weeks in one study,
