Clinical Data Presented at the European Congress on Obesity 2022 Demonstrates Weight Loss With GS200 in Adults With Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

May 04, 2022

Gelesis (NYSE: GLS), a consumer-focused biotherapeutics company and the maker of Plenity^®, today presented results from the LIGHT-UP clinical trial for adults with overweight or obesity who have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and were treated with either GS200 or placebo. Approximately 6 out of 10 adults treated with GS200 achieved clinically meaningful response to treatment (achieving at least 5% body weight loss), losing on average 11% of their body weight (~23 pounds) and an average reduction of 5.5 inches off their waist circumference. Approximately 1 out of 3 GS200-treated adults were “super responders,” losing at least 10% of their body weight and on average losing 13% (~30 pounds), or 7 inches off their waist circumference. The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) in adults treated with GS200 was similar to the incidence of AEs in the placebo group. The detailed findings were presented at three poster presentations at the European Congress on Obesity 2022.
