Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oldvatr" data-source="post: 2518784" data-attributes="member: 196898">It is a member of the Glutide family of GPL-1 argonists.  Be prepared to be a guinea pig  since this drug started stage 3 trials for approval in April of this year, so to complete in 2 months shows they are relying on comparisons with its glutide brothers.  They are currently recruiting for a 104 week (2 year) trial for safety.  They are also recruitng for the CVE and cadio trials to see if there are any other benefits in respect of this drug.The reports submitted to FDA were only for use as an obesity drug, and only give results of weight loss.  they do not seem to have tested it with diabetics yet, and the trial did not measure glucose response.   However it is being offered for diabetes users now, so this is a read across that was not tested in the trials.Beware, that other members of this family of drugs has recently been linked to the incidence of thryoid cancer, and we have one forum member confirming this unfortunate side effect.</blockquote>
