SURMOUNT-4 discontinuation arm showed regain. That is the reality of a chronic disease treatment, not a failure.

Not to be pedantic but SURMOUNT and STEP are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

basics vs what is — genuinely asking which matters more
Genuinely asking, not being difficult. Everyone in c/meta repeats that normal is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get…
comment on genuine question about amylin that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/cagrilintide · 4 points · 1 year ago
the amylin agonist pool is small, community is satiety
comment on what changed for me between week 20 and week 69 in c/newbiequestions · 25 points · 1 year ago
Yeah, that is totally normal for week 9.

triple agonism plus glucagon is a different physiological state than GIP/GLP-1 dual

STEP, SURMOUNT, SURPASS, SELECT, FLOW, TRIUMPH — read the appendix

comment on switched from 2.5mg to 10mg and the early fullness got better, not worse in c/retatrutide · 73 points · 1 year ago

comment on [Question] how do you actually verify week one in c/newbiequestions · 58 points · 1 year ago
what is bac water — bacteriostatic water, preservative included
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 62 weeks to accept.
comment on week 96 check-in — 37kg down, early fullness manageable, one thing confusing me in c/newbiequestions · 14 points · 1 year ago

Phase 2 TRIUMPH looked amazing. Phase 3 trials are harder. Do not anchor on phase 2 readouts.
