Reproduced from the published report. Where the report states a confidence interval the Institute reproduces it; where it does not, none is constructed.

§3.2Endpoint hierarchy

Categorical responder proportionsProportion of participants reaching each categorical response threshold, by arm.ThresholdMaridebart cafraglutideComparator≥ 5 % reduction97.0 %26.9 %≥ 10 % reduction95.0 %4.4 %≥ 15 % reduction81.3 %1.0 %≥ 20 % reduction50.0 %1.0 %
Figure 1. Illustrative. Categorical responder proportions derived by the Institute from the reported mean change under a logistic response model. These are not the published responder proportions for this trial. The figure is published because a mean conceals the distribution of response, and the shape of that distribution is what a reader most often wants and least often gets.

§3.3Harms as reported

Table 5. Adverse events for Maridebart cafraglutide from the safety tables the Institute holds for this compound. Where a row names a different trial as its source, the figure is from that trial and not from this one.

EventActive, %Comparator, %Source trial
NauseaHigh incidence on first dose, attributed to the loading regimen; substantially lower on subsequent doses
VomitingReported at high incidence on initiation
Injection-site reactionReported
Discontinuation for adverse eventsConcentrated in the first dosing interval
