Popis: Aims To determine the optimal dose(s) of once‐monthly administration of efpeglenatide, a long‐acting glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1RA), in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled on metformin. Materials and methods In this phase 2, randomized, placebo‐controlled, double‐blind trial (NCT02081118), patients were randomized 1:1:1:1 to subcutaneous efpeglenatide (8, 12 or 16 mg once monthly; n = 158) or placebo (n = 51). The 16‐week treatment period included a 4‐week titration phase with once‐weekly efpeglenatide 4 mg, followed by one dose of efpeglenatide 8 mg once monthly and two doses of the assigned once‐monthly dose. The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) from baseline to week 17. Results All efpeglenatide doses significantly reduced HbA1c versus placebo (P
