Description
As an example, the Amgen drug MariTide is showing impressive results in trials

reported greater weight loss in obese mice with the GLP-1/GIP/glucagon receptor triagonist compared to GLP-1 receptor agonists, GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonists and GLP-1/glucagon receptor agonists including semaglutide and tirzepatide [60]

The mechanism parallels the early worsening seen in the DCCT and UKPDS studies after intensive glucose reduction

For these reasons, limited treatment options exist for this patient population
