Sceptical rather than excited about the triple agonist, and I would like somebody to talk me out of the scepticism with data rather than enthusiasm.

The narrow version of the question is what the phase 2 dropout pattern implies about how the phase 3 tolerability will read.

Tell me what I have not thought of.

Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any. If nothing would, the discussion is not about evidence, and it is better to say so early than to spend nine posts discovering it.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

That is correct as far as it goes, and here is where it stops going. The phase 2 numbers were about 24% mean weight loss at 48 weeks on the top dose, with the curve still descending at the end of the study. A curve that has not flattened is a real finding, but it also means the true plateau is unknown, and phase 2 populations are small and selected.

Same pattern here, and in the same order.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person. Both are real; they answer different questions and get quoted as if they were the same one.
