Speaker notes
This is the molecule now in phase 3 of development
Tirzepatide (LY3298176) is a 39 amino acid linear peptide and includes a C20 fatty acid. This will allow the binding of the molecule to albumin and prolongation of its half-life
The molecular weight is 4.8 kD
It is a multi-functional peptide based on the native GIP peptide sequence that was modified to bind to both GIP and GLP-1 receptors
In vitro, it has higher potency to native GIP and is less potent to native GLP-1
The mean half-life is of approximately 5 days (116.7 h), and this enables once-weekly dosing
Now, let’s spend a few minutes with some of these characteristics

Speaker notes
Prior to administration to healthy volunteers and people with T2D in the Phase 1/1b PoC study, tirzepatide was characterised in vitro
In signaling studies using cell lines recombinant for GIPR or GLP-1R, tirzepatide potently stimulated cAMP accumulation, an indirect way to measure binding to either receptor

Study overview
Study GPGB was a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study in people with T2D and with an HbA1c 7.0-10.5%, who were inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone or with stable metformin therapy
The study investigated multiple doses of tirzepatide (1, 5, 10, 15 mg), compared with two control arms: placebo and dulaglutide (1.5 mg)
Based on the rationale of maximizing the weight loss potential previously observed with tirzepatide, the study is designed with a longer duration compared with other Phase 2 trials, with a 26-week treatment period (plus a 4-week follow-up) versus a more typical duration of 12–16 weeks
Study endpoints:
Primary endpoint was change in HbA1c from baseline to 26 weeks in the mITT population, defined as all participants who took at least one dose of study drug and had at least one postbaseline measurement of any outcome
Secondary endpoints:
Change in HbA1c from baseline to 12 weeks
Change in mean body weight, fasting plasma glucose, and waist circumference from baseline to weeks 12 and 26
Proportion of patients with ≥5% and 10% body weight loss from baseline to 26 weeks
Proportion of patients reaching HbA1c target (≤6.5% and <7.0%)
Change in lipid laboratory data from baseline to 26 weeks
Safety endpoints:
Overall adverse events; gastrointestinal tolerability; hypersensitivity; injection site reactions; anti-drug antibodies to tirzepatide; incidence of pancreatitis; rates of hypoglycemia; cardiovascular vital signs
Key inclusion criteria:
People 18–75 years old with T2D for ≥6 months
HbA1c 7.0–10.5%, inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone or with stable metformin therapy for ≥3 months before screening
BMI 25–30 kg/m2
The 10mg and 15mg treatment arms included a 2-week and 6-week titration phase, respectively, in order to improve gastrointestinal tolerability
Key exclusion criteria:
≥1 hypoglycemic episode in the 6 months prior to Visit 1, history of hypoglycemia unawareness or poor recognition of hypoglycemic symptoms
History of acute or chronic pancreatitis
Active proliferative diabetic retinopathy
Liver disease, acute or chronic hepatitis
MI, unstable angina, CABG, PCI, TIA, cerebrovascular accident, or NYHA III/IV HF ≤6 months prior to screening

Speaker notes
In summary, Phase 2 and 2b studies evaluated a range of doses of tirzepatide in patients with type 2 diabetes1,2
Efficacy was shown to be dose-dependent, with the greatest improvements in glycemic variables observed for higher doses (TZP 10 mg and 15 mg)1
Tirzepatide showed clinically meaningful improvements in glycemic control and superior weight loss compared with DU 1.5 mg1
Safety and tolerability was comparable to DU 1.5 mg at doses of 5 mg and 10 mg. Gastrointestinal adverse events were the most commonly observed adverse event. Generally, they were mild to moderate in severity and transient1
TZP 15 mg was associated with an increased frequency of gastrointestinal adverse events and treatment discontinuation. However, they were mostly reported early in the up-titration phase1
A longer titration phase with more incremental dose escalations can potentially alleviate these symptomologies. The superior efficacy observed in the 15 mg group supports the rationale for carrying this dose forward to the Phase 3 program1

QW, once weekly; TZP, tirzepatideSpeaker notes
Based on the previous Phase 2 data and some exposure modeling, a more progressive approach to dose titration was chosen for the Phase 3 program
Three maintenance doses will be tested in the Phase 3 studies (5, 10 and 15 mg). The starting dose will be 2.5 mg once weekly. Then, dose increases by 2.5 mg will happen every 4 weeks until the final maintenance dose (5, 10 or 15 mg) is achieved. This would mean that it would take 4 weeks to get to 5 mg, 12 weeks to get to 10 mg, and 20 weeks to get to 15 mg
The modeling predicts a lower incidence of nausea, and we consider that this approach will translate into a better tolerability profile that will help patients achieve the final dose with less discontinuations due to this cause

Speaker notes
SURPASS-5 is a double-blind placebo-controlled Phase 3 study in people with T2D treated with insulin glargine with or without metformin
The study is investigating multiple doses of TZP (5, 10, 15 mg) compared with PL
To compare the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide to PL, the study is designed to last 47 weeks with about 23 study visits
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

Have HbA1c between ≥7.0% and ≤10.5%.
Have a stable weight (± 5%) for at least 3 months before screening.
Have a BMI ≥23 kg/m² at screening.
Exclusion Criteria
Have type 1 diabetes.
Have had chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to study entry.
Have proliferative diabetic retinopathy or diabetic maculopathy or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring acute treatment.
Have disorders associated with slowed emptying of the stomach, or have had any stomach surgeries for the purpose of weight loss.
Have an estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/minute/1.73 m² [for participants on metformin, estimated glomerular filtration rate <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (or lower than the country-specific threshold for using the protocol-required dose of metformin per local label)]
Have had a heart attack, stroke, or hospitalization for congestive heart failure in the past 2 months.

Speaker notes
SURPASS-4 is an open-label Phase 3 study in people with T2D
The study is investigating multiple doses of TZP (5, 10, 15 mg) compared with insulin glargine
To compare the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide to insulin glargine, the study is designed to last 107 weeks with up to 30 study visits
The study includes 3 periods:
Study Period 1 is a 3-week screening/lead-in phase,
Study Period 2 is a 52-week treatment period that includes a 24-week dose escalation for tirzepatide and a 16-week initial, intensive insulin glargine titration. The primary and key secondary endpoints will be assessed at 52 weeks.
Study Period 3 is a variable treatment period. Patients will be on treatment for at least 12, but no more than 24 months. This variable treatment period is designed to characterize the longer-term efficacy and safety of tirzepatide. This variable treatment period will also allow the tirzepatide development program to meet regulatory requirements for exposure and to collect sufficient MACE-4 events for a program wide meta-analysis designed to assess the cardiovascular safety of tirzepatide. The study will have a rolling duration and will be considered complete when each of these criteria have been met: at least 52 weeks after the last patient is randomized, at least 300 patients on tirzepatide reach 78 weeks of exposure, and approximately 110 patients experience a MACE-4 event.
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Have been diagnosed with T2D
Have HbA1c between ≥7.5% and ≤10.5%
Be on stable treatment with unchanged dose of at least 1 and no more than 3 types of oral antihyperglycemic drugs, which may only include metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and/or sulfonylureas for at least 3 months before screening
Have increased risk for CV events
Be of stable weight (± 5%)
Have a BMI ≥25 kg/m2 at screening
Exclusion Criteria
Have type 1 diabetes
Have had chronic or acute pancreatitis any time prior to study entry
Have proliferative diabetic retinopathy or diabetic maculopathy or nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring immediate or urgent treatment
Have disorders associated with slowed emptying of the stomach, or have had any stomach surgeries for the purpose of weight loss
Have acute or chronic hepatitis, signs and symptoms of any other liver disease, or blood ALT enzyme level >3.0 x ULN for the reference range, as determined by the central laboratory. Participants with NAFLD are eligible for participation in this trial only if their ALT level is ≤3.0 x ULN for the reference range
Have had a heart attack, stroke, or hospitalization for congestive heart failure in the past 2 months
Have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or personal history of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2
Have been taking any other diabetes medicines other than metformin, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and/or sulfonylureas during the last 3 months
Have been taking weight loss drugs, including over-the-counter medications during the last 3 months
