The SURMOUNT development program aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of tirzepatide as a treatment for obesity. The program includes four global phase 3 trials, which have shown that once-weekly administration of tirzepatide can significantly reduce body weight.
ObjectiveObesity is a growing global concern compounded by limited availability of effective treatment options. The SURMOUNT development program aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide as an adjunct to lifestyle intervention compared with placebo on chronic weight management in adults with BMI >= 27 kg/m(2) with or without type 2 diabetes. MethodsThe SURMOUNT program includes four global phase 3 trials NCT04184622 (SURMOUNT-1), NCT04657003 (SURMOUNT-2), NCT04657016 (SURMOUNT-3), and NCT04660643 (SURMOUNT-4). Participants are randomized to once-weekly subcutaneous tirzepatide versus placebo in a double-blind manner. The primary end point in all trials is the percentage change in body weight from randomization to end of treatment. Results for the primary end point for SURMOUNT-1 were published recently and results for the other trials are expected in 2023. ResultsAcross trials, participants have a mean age of 44.9 to 54.2 years, are mostly female (50.7% to 69.7%), and have a mean BMI of 36.1 to 38.9. ConclusionsThe extensive assessment of once-weekly tirzepatide in the global SURMOUNT program will detail the clinical effects of this first-in-class glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist in chronic weight management.
