Study result summary
16 Mar, 2026Key study results and efficacy
Aleniglipron achieved up to 16.3% placebo-adjusted mean weight loss at 44 weeks for 180 mg and 16.0% at 240 mg, with no plateauing observed up to 56 weeks in the open label extension.
Clinically significant weight loss was achieved across all high-dose groups, with 93% of participants on 180 mg achieving at least 10% weight loss, 61% reaching 15% or greater, and up to 32% achieving 20% or greater.
Starting at 2.5 mg and titrating slowly led to 6.4%-6.8% weight loss after 20 weeks, supporting the 'start low, go slow' approach.
Efficacy at 180 mg and 240 mg was comparable, informing dose selection for phase III.
All dose cohorts in ACCESS II met statistical significance versus placebo at 44 weeks (p < 0.0001).
Safety and tolerability profile
AE-related discontinuations were low: 3.7% in ACCESS II, 2% in the open label extension, and 3.4% in the body composition study.
GI events (nausea, vomiting) were reduced with the lower starting dose and slower titration, with no vomiting events and no discontinuations in the 2.5 mg start group after 20 weeks.
No drug-induced liver injury, no off-target safety signals, and no QTc prolongation were observed across all studies and dose levels in over 625 participants.
Tolerability improvements were consistent with the 'start low, go slow' strategy, and learnings will inform phase III protocols.
Aleniglipron showed a tolerability profile consistent with the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, supporting chronic use.
Study design and next steps
ACCESS II and open label extension studies included adults with obesity or overweight and at least one comorbidity, with robust efficacy and safety data across over 625 participants.
Phase III will use a 2.5 mg starting dose with four-week titration steps, evaluating multiple doses up to 240 mg and optimizing tolerability and early weight loss.
An End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA is scheduled for Q2 2026 to finalize Phase 3 design, with initiation anticipated in the second half of 2026.
Additional data from type 2 diabetes, switch, and body composition studies will further inform phase III design.
Manufacturing and scalability have been prioritized, enabling potential global reach for oral small molecule therapies.
