Roche reports positive Phase I results for its dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist CT-388 in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes. Over 24 weeks, CT-388 achieved a significant placebo-adjusted weight loss of 18.8% (p < 0.001). At week 24, 100% of participants treated with CT-388 achieved >5% weight loss, 70% achieved >15%, and 45% achieved >20%. The treatment normalized glycemia in all pre-diabetic patients, showing strong glucose homeostasis impact. No new safety signals were detected, and the treatment was well-tolerated.
Looking forward, Roche plans to evaluate CT-388 in obese patients with type 2 diabetes over a 12-week treatment duration, with data expected in the second half of 2024.
Roche announced the FDA approval of its HPV self-collection solution, one of the first such options in the U.S. This tool improves access to HPV testing by allowing women to privately collect their own samples, which are then analyzed in a lab. The solution addresses a significant gap, as over half of U.S. cervical cancer patients are underscreened. Over 13,000 U.S. women are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually, and approximately 4,000 die from it. HPV self-collection could enable early detection and treatment, supporting the WHO's goal to eliminate cervical cancer by 2030. Roche collaborated with the National Cancer Institute for this initiative.
