Results are expressed as percentages of patients from the treatment cohort who had the complication at least once during the period of the study. Values correspond to the minimum and maximum values reported when considering all the studies of the program. * One out of 6 studies recruited people with obesity and T2D as well. AP, acute pancreatitis; BID, twice a day; GI AEs, gastrointestinal adverse events; GLP-1 RA, GLP-1 receptor agonist; n.r., not reported; p.o., oral; Refs, references; s.c., subcutaneous; QD, once a day; T2D, diabetes mellitus type 2.
