A Study of Retatrutide (LY3437943) in the Maintenance of Weight Reduction in Individuals With Obesity
This is a study of retatrutide in participants with obesity. The main purpose is to learn more about how retatrutide maintains body weight loss. The study will have two treatment phases: an 80 week lead-in phase in which all participants will take retatrutide dose 1 and a 36 week randomized, double-blinded phase in which participants will either take retatrutide dose 1, retatrutide dose 2, or swit

TRIUMPH-1 is the pivotal Phase 3 master trial evaluating retatrutide (12 mg, 9 mg, 4 mg) versus placebo in adults with obesity or overweight, including subsets with knee osteoarthritis (GOA1) and obstructive sleep apnoea (GSA1). Top-line results announced by Eli Lilly on May 21, 2026: in 2,339 participants, retatrutide 12 mg produced a mean body weight reduction of 28.3% (average 70.3 lbs) over 80 weeks — a level historically associated with bariatric surgery. 45.3% of participants achieved ≥30% weight loss. In a 104-week extension subgroup (BMI ≥35), the 12 mg arm reached an average 30.3% loss (85.0 lbs). All three doses met primary and key secondary endpoints with significant improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors. Lilly plans to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA for retatrutide based on TRIUMPH programme data. Full results to be presented at the 86th ADA Scientific Sessions (June 2026).

TRIUMPH-4 is a Phase 3, 68-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study comparing retatrutide versus placebo in adults with obesity or overweight and knee osteoarthritis (OA). Participants received retatrutide 9 mg or 12 mg or placebo subcutaneously once weekly. Primary results announced December 2025: retatrutide 12 mg achieved 28.7% mean body weight reduction and a 75.8% reduction in WOMAC pain scores. Both co-primary endpoints met. 58.6% of 12-mg participants achieved ≥25% weight loss. Over 1 in 8 retatrutide-treated participants were completely free from knee pain at week 68.

TRANSCEND-T2D-2 is a Phase 3, randomised, multicenter, open-label study comparing the efficacy and safety of once-weekly retatrutide (LY3437943) versus once-weekly semaglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycemic control on metformin with or without an SGLT2 inhibitor. Primary endpoint is HbA1c change at 40 weeks. Study duration approximately 26 months with up to 24 visits. Participants must have HbA1c 7.0–10.5% on stable metformin ≥1500 mg/day.

TRANSCEND-T2D-1 is a 40-week, Phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at 48 sites in the USA, Mexico, and India evaluating once-weekly subcutaneous retatrutide (4 mg, 9 mg, or 12 mg) versus placebo as monotherapy in adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone (HbA1c 7.5–10.5%). Primary endpoint: change in HbA1c at week 40. Results published simultaneously in The Lancet and at the ADA 2026 Scientific Sessions (June 6, 2026, PMID 42250575): retatrutide reduced HbA1c by −1.69% (4 mg), −1.86% (9 mg), and −1.94% (12 mg) versus −0.81% placebo. The 12 mg dose produced 16.8% mean body weight loss (−36.6 lbs) with no plateau. Low discontinuation rates (2.2–5.1%). Phase 3 NDA submission anticipated based on TRIUMPH programme data.
