A Study of Retatrutide (LY3437943) in the Maintenance of Weight Reduction in Individuals With Obesity (TRIUMPH-6)

February 27, 2026 updated by: Eli Lilly and Company

A Phase 3b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate Retatrutide Treatment in the Maintenance of Weight Reduction in Individuals With Obesity

This is a study of retatrutide in participants with obesity. The main purpose is to learn more about how retatrutide maintains body weight loss. The study will have two treatment phases: an 80 week lead-in phase in which all participants will take retatrutide dose 1 and a 36 week randomized, double-blinded phase in which participants will either take retatrutide dose 1, retatrutide dose 2, or switch to placebo. Participation in the study will last around 125 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Percent Change from Baseline in Body Weight
Time Frame: Week 0, Week 116
Week 0, Week 116

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Waist Circumference
Time Frame: Week 0, Week 116
Week 0, Week 116
Percentage of Body Weight Reduction Achieved at Week 80 that is Maintained at Week 116
