TARRYTOWN, N.Y., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) today announced interim results from the ongoing Phase 2 COURAGE trial investigating novel combinations of semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist) and trevogrumab (anti-GDF8/anti-myostatin) with or without garetosmab (anti-activin A) for the treatment of obesity. The trial demonstrated that approximately 35% of semaglutide-induced weight loss was due to loss of lean mass, and further demonstrated that combining semaglutide with trevogrumab with or without garetosmab helped preserve lean mass while increasing loss of fat mass. The interim analysis was conducted when 50% of patients reached week 26 in the trial. The combination of semaglutide with trevogrumab was generally well-tolerated; the triplet combination of semaglutide with both antibodies had a substantially higher rate of discontinuations due to tolerability issues and other adverse events, consistent with the safety profile previously seen with garetosmab alone.
