What is Retatrutide?

LY3437943 · Phase 3

Retatrutide (LY3437943) is a triple receptor agonist targeting GLP-1, GIP and glucagon receptors. It is the first product to simultaneously activate three key signaling pathways for weight regulation.

Unlike Ozempic (semaglutide, single receptor — GLP-1) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide, dual receptor — GLP-1 + GIP), Retatrutide adds a third component — the glucagon receptor, which increases energy expenditure and thermogenesis.

Topline Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 results (Lilly, May 2026) confirmed record efficacy — up to 28.3% weight loss over 80 weeks at 12 mg (efficacy estimand), and up to 30.3% at 104 weeks in the extension. Phase 2 (NEJM, 2023): up to 24.2% over 48 weeks.

🔬 Key advantage: Retatrutide is the only triple agonist. Three receptors simultaneously = appetite suppression (GLP-1) + fat metabolism (GIP) + increased thermogenesis (glucagon).

How Retatrutide Works

Triple action on three receptors simultaneously — GLP-1, GIP and glucagon — delivers the highest efficacy among all weight management products.

1

You inject once a week (thin needle, subcutaneous — painless)

2

Three receptors receive the signal simultaneously: appetite decreases, fat metabolism activates, energy expenditure increases

3

In Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1, participants on 12 mg lost an average of up to −28.3% body weight over 80 weeks (topline 2026) — combined with healthy eating and specialist support (Retatrutide — investigational, not FDA/EMA approved)

GLP-1 appetite suppression — Retatrutide mechanism of action

GLP-1: Appetite Suppression

Acts on hunger centers in the hypothalamus, reducing appetite and food cravings. Slows gastric emptying for prolonged satiety. The primary mechanism of Ozempic.

GIP fat metabolism — Retatrutide mechanism of action

GIP: Fat Metabolism

Enhances fat tissue burning and improves insulin sensitivity. This receptor is present in Mounjaro but absent in Ozempic — making the dual agonist more effective.

Glucagon energy expenditure — Retatrutide mechanism of action

Glucagon: Energy Expenditure

The unique third component of Retatrutide. Increases thermogenesis and basal metabolism — the body burns more calories even at rest. Absent in Mounjaro and Ozempic.

Retatrutide acts simultaneously on three receptors: GLP-1 suppresses appetite, GIP improves fat metabolism, and glucagon boosts thermogenesis. The triple mechanism delivered up to −28.3% weight loss over 80 weeks on the 12 mg dose in Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 (topline 2026) — more than dual (Mounjaro) or mono-agonists (Ozempic) achieved in their separate trials.

🔗

Triple Advantage of Retatrutide

Ozempic acts through 1 receptor (GLP-1). Mounjaro — through 2 receptors (GLP-1 + GIP). Retatrutide adds a third — the glucagon receptor, which triggers thermogenesis and increases basal metabolism.

The third component is a revolution: the body burns more calories even at rest. This is precisely why Retatrutide showed the highest efficacy among all GLP-1 agonists in clinical trials.

Retatrutide Clinical Trial Results

📊

Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 (topline, 2026)

-28.3%
maximum weight loss
2339
participants
80
weeks

In the Phase 3 TRIUMPH-1 trial (NCT05929066, topline May 2026), 2,339 adults with obesity or overweight received Retatrutide 4, 9 or 12 mg or placebo over 80 weeks. At 12 mg, mean weight loss was 28.3% (efficacy estimand) vs 2.2% on placebo — the highest published result in the GLP-1 class. In the extension (BMI≥35, 532 participants) — up to 30.3% at 104 weeks. Not approved by FDA/EMA; US BLA submission planned for Q1 2027.

For comparison: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) showed -22.5% over 72 weeks (SURMOUNT-1), and Ozempic (semaglutide) — -15% over 68 weeks. Retatrutide showed the highest numeric result in the class, but this is a cross-trial comparison: a direct head-to-head trial vs tirzepatide (NCT06662383) is still ongoing, so clinical superiority has not been established.

Results by Dose (Phase 2, NEJM 2023)

  • • 1 mg: -8.7% weight over 48 weeks
  • • 4 mg: -17.1% weight over 48 weeks
  • • 8 mg: -22.8% weight over 48 weeks
  • • 12 mg: -24.2% weight over 48 weeks

Key Phase 2 Findings (NEJM 2023)

  • • 100% of participants on 12 mg lost ≥5% weight
  • • 93% of participants — ≥10% weight
  • • 83% of participants — ≥15% weight
  • • Third receptor (glucagon) increased the effect by ~10%

Retatrutide Dosing

Phase 3 TRIUMPH protocol: start at 2 mg once weekly, escalating every 4 weeks (2 → 4 → 6 → 9 → 12 mg). Trial target doses are 4, 9 and 12 mg; the optimal dose is selected by a specialist.

2 mg
Adaptation

Starting dose for all Phase 3 TRIUMPH participants. Body adaptation, mild appetite reduction.
