Novel Amylin-Based Therapies for Weight Management in Adults With Overweight or Obesity Without Diabetes: A Network Meta-Analysis.
Network meta-analysis of 6 trials (4,642 people) estimated high-dose eloralintide at about 18% more weight loss than placebo, with more GI adverse events; authors rate the data as sparse and low-certainty.
- Studied
- Adults with overweight or obesity without diabetes in trials of amylin-based therapies
- Compared with
- Placebo or active comparators (semaglutide, liraglutide)
- Main outcome
- Percent change in body weight; GI adverse events
- Sample
- 6 trials, N = 4642, 12-68 weeks
- Authors' conclusion
- Novel amylin-based therapies may induce substantial short- to medium-term weight loss but increase GI adverse events; data are sparse and low-certainty, so findings are preliminary.
- Limitations
- Sparse, low-certainty data; indirect comparisons across trials.
