Efficacy and safety of visepegenatide as an add-on therapy to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study

Visepegenatide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist injection, demonstrated effective glycaemic control and good tolerability without the requirement of dose titration in the two completed phase 2 studies. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of visepegenatide in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled by metformin monotherapy in this phase 3 clinical study.
