Evidence

Benchmark read

GLORY-1: Includes treatment stops. Week 48 secondary endpoint. Placebo gained 0.30%; a different 16 mg Phase 2 result is not substituted for this Phase 3 policy estimate.

Safety

Side effects and cautions

Discontinuation read

Stopped because of adverse events: 0.5% on treatment vs 1% on placebo.

Common side effects

Gastrointestinal adverse events were most common and mostly mild-to-moderate; treatment discontinuation due to adverse events was highest at 16 mg (20%), primarily from gastrointestinal disorders.

Main cautions

Investigational in the US; dose escalation and gastrointestinal tolerability are material considerations.

Upcoming catalyst

What to watch next

Further development decisions and additional clinical data following the completed US Phase 2 study.
