Figure 1 Changes in UACR with retatrutide versus placebo. The figure shows the percent change from baseline in UACR. Data are least-squares means with error bars showing standard errors derived from the MMRM of the efficacy analysis set. Percent change from baseline in UACR over time from the MMRM analysis for all participants in the (A) T2D study and (B) obesity efficacy population and among participants with baseline UACR of ≥30 mg/g in the (C) T2D and (D) obesity trials. Abbreviations: MMRM= mixed model repeated measures. RETA=retatrutide. SE=standard error. T2D=type 2 diabetes. UACR=urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
Retatrutide (GLP, GIP, Glucagon receptor agonist) and albuminuria and GFR changes from phase 2 trial now in @kireports.bsky.social
Two Ph2 trials, one in T2DM and another in Obesity with about N ~ 300 each
uACR reduced in both RCTs (A, B)
Much more pronounced when baseline > 30 mg/g (C, D)
