In context

an average of 4.5 points, representing a 76% reduction in pain, and this was accompanied by a significant improvement in physical function. Impressively, more than one in eight retreutide-treated patients were completely free from knee pain at the end of this trial. The safety profile was generally consistent with other incretins, with gastrointestinal events being most common.

Also in Q4, we started a phase three trial in high-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, MACELD, studying retreutide as well as tirzepatide for treatment of this disease. We're planning to submit the results of the Core TRIUMPH program in 2026 to support applications for overweight and obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis of the knee for retreutide. Based on the data we've seen so far, depending on these upcoming data readouts, we believe retreutide may have the potential to become a new treatment option for patients with significant weight loss with certain complications.
