A new obesity drug has been described as the most powerful yet after trial participants reportedly lost up to 25% of their body weight. The results, reported by Ars Technica, would surpass figures associated with current GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy and Zepbound, intensifying competition among drugmakers in the fast-growing weight-loss treatment market.
