美国当地时间5月11日，礼来在《新英格兰医学杂志》（NEJM）上最新发表了GIP/GLP-1双受体激 动剂替尔泊肽与GLP-1单受体激动剂司美格鲁肽的一项"头对头"对照研究的详细结果。数据显示，替 尔泊肽与司美格鲁肽相比实现了1.47倍的相对体重减轻。 这项被命名为SURMOUNT-5的三期大规模临床研究旨在评估在肥胖或伴有至少一种合并症（如高血 压、血脂异常、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停、心血管疾病）的超重成人（且不合并糖尿病），使用替尔泊肽 与司美格鲁肽的有效性与安全性。在用药第72周时，替尔泊肽组患者平均减重20.2%，司美格鲁肽组 患者平均减重13.7%。这表明替尔泊肽的减重效果要比司美格鲁肽高出近50%。 数据还显示，在该研究的关键次要终点中，替尔泊肽在所有减重目标中均优于司美格鲁肽。替尔泊肽 组实现体重减轻≥15%的参与者比例达64.6%，而司美格鲁肽组为40.1%；替尔泊肽组平均腰围减少达 18.4cm，而司美格鲁肽组为13.0cm。 美 国 威 尔 康 奈 尔 医 学 院 综 合 体 重 控 制 中 心 主 任 、 该 研 究 的 主 要 研 究 者 路 易 斯 · 亚 隆 （ Louis J.
