Efficacy, Safety, and Mechanistic Insights of Cotadutide, a Dual Receptor Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 and Glucagon Agonist

Open access

Abstract

Context: Cotadutide is a dual receptor agonist with balanced glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon activity. Objective: To evaluate different doses of cotadutide and investigate underlying mechanisms for its glucose-lowering effects. Design/setting: Randomized, double-blind, phase 2a study conducted in 2 cohorts at 5 clinical trial sites. Patients: Participants were 65 adult overweight/obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; 63 completed the study; 2 were withdrawn due to AEs. Intervention: Once-daily subcutaneous cotadutide or placebo for 49 days. Doses (50–300 µg) were uptitrated weekly (cohort 1) or biweekly (cohort 2). Main outcome measures: Co-primary end points (cohort 1) were percentage changes from baseline to end of treatment in glucose (area under the curve from 0 to 4 hours [AUC0–4h]) post–mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) and weight. Exploratory measures included postprandial insulin and gastric emptying time (GET; cohort 2). Results: Patients received cotadutide (cohort 1, n = 26; cohort 2, n = 20) or placebo (cohort 1, n = 13; cohort 2, n = 6). Significant reductions were observed with cotadutide vs placebo in glucose AUC0–4h post MMTT (least squares mean [90% CI], −21.52% [−25.68, −17.37] vs 6.32% [0.45, 12.20]; P < 0.001) and body weight (−3.41% [−4.37, −2.44] vs −0.08% [−1.45, 1.28]; P = 0.002). A significant increase in insulin AUC0–4h post MMTT was observed with cotadutide (19.3 mU.h/L [5.9, 32.6]; P = 0.008) and GET was prolonged on day 43 with cotadutide vs placebo (t½: 117.2 minutes vs −42.9 minutes; P = 0.0392). Conclusion: These results suggest that the glucose-lowering effects of cotadutide are mediated by enhanced insulin secretion and delayed gastric emptying. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03244800.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
