Figure 3. Illustrative. Assessed outcomes plotted on a common standardised axis so that direction and relative magnitude can be compared at a glance. The estimates are not on a common natural scale and the intervals are the Institute's standardised representation of the reported precision, not the published confidence intervals. Published intervals appear in the per-indication extracts and in the text below.

§3.1Obesity and overweight in adults

Anchor outcome. Percentage change in body weight from baseline.

Effect as recorded. −13.1 % body weight at 12 weeks in a phase 1b subcutaneous study versus −1.1 % with placebo; phase 1b; very small sample.[1,2]

Certainty. Low certainty A 12-week phase 1b result. The Institute reports the figure because it is the only human efficacy datum available, and states plainly that a 12-week weight trajectory cannot be extrapolated to 68 weeks.

Contributing trials. REIMAGINE-1 · AMY-PH1B-SC · AMY-PH1-ORAL. Full structured abstracts are published for each.
