dose escalation — my 16-week log, condensed into one table
The title is the argument: dose escalation — my 16-week log, condensed into one table. Here is the rest of it. It is a triple agonist at the GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. The glucagon arm is the genuinely novel component and it is the one with the least human outcome data behind it. The standing caveat, written…
The phase 2 readout ran to 48 weeks in a few hundred participants with a slow escalation. Both the size and the duration matter when people quote the headline number.
Trial names corrected in the title. The phase 3 programme and the phase 2 readout are not the same thing.

Phase 2 estimates effect and finds a dose range. Phase 3 estimates it precisely in a bigger population and catches what phase 2 was too small to see. Treating them as the same tier of evidence is the recurring error here.
That is body weight change, not fat mass. The trials report the first and people quote it as the second.
